Over 5 years as an Algebra 1 ESL/GT/Pre-AP educator

April S.

With a solid educational foundation that includes a Master's in Educational Leadership, a Bachelor's in Mathematics with a minor in Urban Education, and an Associate of Science degree, I am equipped with the knowledge and expertise to provide top-notch tutoring services. I hold certifications in both 7-12 mathematics and ESL, making me versatile in catering to diverse learning needs.

Over the past five years, my teaching journey has been both fulfilling and enriching. I've had the privilege of working with high school students in a classroom setting, where I honed my pedagogical skills and fine-tuned my approach. As a tutor for an equal amount of time, I've adopted a student-centric approach that emphasizes discovery and ownership of learning. I firmly believe in empowering my students to take charge of their educational journey. This approach has allowed me to witness remarkable growth and confidence in my students as they grasp challenging mathematical concepts and develop essential problem-solving skills.

My dedication to education extends beyond the classroom, as I've also engaged in volunteer tutoring experiences that have broadened my horizons and taught me the value of patience and adaptability. Whether working one-on-one or in a classroom, my goal is to foster a supportive and stimulating learning environment that encourages curiosity and critical thinking. I am excited to continue leveraging my qualifications and experience to inspire and guide students on Wyzant, helping them achieve their academic goals while instilling a lifelong love for mathematics.
