Aiming to Make Math Accessible for Anyone

Delaney P.

I'm Delaney, and I am a current senior at St John's College in Santa Fe. I have a passion for mathematics, and aim to pursue a teaching license after I graduate. At St John's, I've gained an extensive understanding of geometry through Euclid's Elements and a strong sense of Calculus through Newtons Principa. The discussion oriented framework has given me greater communication skills, which I consider my strong suit.

I have love Algebra since I was a child, and through my education I've learned a number of ways to present algebraic concepts. I believe mathematics should be accessible to everyone, and I strive to create learning environments where it is safe to explore, play, and discover for yourself how mathematics works.

I have experience doing peer tutoring all throughout my middle and highschool education, and I have experience working with students with ranges of neurodivergence, including ADHD and Autism. These experiences have informed my educational approach, with a focus on accessibility.

I believe it's okay to be wrong, and learning from our mistakes and understanding why we make them is essential to growing.

One of the things I've gained from the St John's College mathematics program has been the way it shows many perspectives can achieve the same knowledge. For example, one concept I know from algebra can be presented in a completely geometric way. This understanding of multiple perspectives on mathematical concepts allows me to find the best approach for my student.

I believe a compassionate and well informed teacher can change a subject from something terrifying to something exciting. I am available to schedule lessons and am eager to learn together. Reach out for any clarifying questions or to schedule a lesson
