With over 7 years of experience teaching Algebra to college students, I am dedicated to making math clear, engaging, and accessible. My teaching style is centered on building a strong foundation and boosting students confidence through step-by-step explanations and practice. I use real-life examples and interactive problem-solving to show how Algebra applies to everyday situations, helping students see its relevance and stay motivated. I take pride in adapting my teaching to fit each students unique learning style, whether they need more visual aids, hands-on activities, or detailed, verbal explanations. My innovative approach includes breaking down complex concepts into smaller, manageable parts and using technology and online resources to enhance learning. I create a positive, supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes, knowing that its all part of the learning process. Beyond Algebra, I am also skilled in teaching related subjects such as Geometry and Pre-Calculus, ensuring students have a well-rounded math education. My goal is not just to help students succeed academically but to inspire them to appreciate and enjoy math as a valuable skill in their future studies and careers.
