Math 7

Welcome! I am thrilled to be teaching your child this year. I truly believe that every child has greater potential than even they realize. I want to challenge students to think and process thoroughly. I thrive on relationships and root for the underdog, and everyone is an underdog in some way! I want to help students achieve in ways they did not even know they could. I will observe and assess your student and strive to give individual feedback daily. I believe that students should begin to advocate for themselves and realize that their individual voice is important. I encourage students to email me or speak with me to communicate their academic needs/concerns. Confidence building is key is preparing students for a successful high school experience! Check here for a weekly overview of my lessons.
