I am a National Board-Certified Teacher in Early Adolescence Mathematics with two decades of experience dedicated to middle and high school math education. I hold a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Education from Jackson State University. Over the past 20 years, my career has been deeply rooted in both classroom instruction and curriculum development, currently serving as an Instructional Coach for grades six through twelve and a district-wide Algebra I coach. Throughout my career, I have been honored as my school's Teacher of the Year five times and recognized with the Rock Star Teacher Academic Excellence Award for three consecutive years.
My teaching experience spans direct classroom instruction, small group bootcamps, and one-on-one interventions, working predominantly with adolescent students. I specialize in making rigorous mathematical concepts accessible and engaging to build strong, independent problem-solving skills. I firmly believe in integrating technology to enhance foundational understanding, frequently using platforms like Desmos to help students visualize abstract algebraic concepts. Whether I am guiding a student through middle school math standards or complex high school algebra, my approach is highly collaborative and focused on long-term mastery rather than just passing the next test.
Beyond core mathematics, I am a Master Teacher of Economics, Entrepreneurship, and Personal Finance. I am passionate about connecting classroom math to real-world applications, such as using stock market simulations to teach practical financial literacy and data analysis. My goal as a tutor is to provide a structured, supportive, and highly customized learning environment that empowers students to build confidence and truly understand the mechanics of mathematics.
