License Math Teacher

Paulette C.

I am a licensed high school math teacher in Oregon with several years of classroom experience teaching Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and support math courses for students with a wide range of learning needs and confidence levels. I currently teach at the high school level and work with students both in traditional math classes and intervention-style settings, which has helped me develop strong skills in explaining concepts in multiple ways and meeting students where they are academically. I am also currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Mathematics to continue growing both my content knowledge and teaching practice.

My tutoring approach focuses on building understanding and confidence rather than memorization. Many students come to math feeling frustrated, behind, or convinced they are “bad at math,” and I enjoy helping them break through that mindset. I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes, so I strive to create a supportive and low-stress learning environment. During sessions, I like to walk students through examples step-by-step, identify gaps in foundational skills, and gradually help them become more independent problem solvers.

I have experience working with freshmen through upper high school students in both classroom and one-on-one settings. I can help with homework support, test preparation, skill recovery, study strategies, and building long-term math confidence. My strongest areas include Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and general high school math support. As a current classroom teacher, I also understand how to align tutoring with school expectations, grading practices, and common curriculum standards.
