I am a graduate of Northwestern State University with dual degrees in Secondary Education and Mathematics. I have been tutoring now for well over 5 years at all age levels including the college level for all four years of undergrad at my University! I am especially passionate about high school/upper level math subjects such as Algebra 1, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, etc... because they allow students to dive deeper into a single subject opposed to lower level math classes where you get a little taste of everything without really going below the surface level of the content. With that being said, all of my teaching experience has been on the middle school level, so we get down to the good stuff anyway! Algebra 1 has a special place in my heart since I just got done teaching my very first 8th grade class in that subject where they ROCKED the end of year test (very proud teacher moment :). I am currently a high school teacher in St. Louis Missouri Public Schools where I plan to bring my vibrant southern Louisiana energy to my students while growing them not only as students, but into the version of themselves that they would like to be by instilling in them a hard work ethic and "don't give up" attitude. I understand math isn't everyones subject, but I intend to make it a little more bearable for my students by engaging with them through questioning what they already know to get them to what they need to know. You'll be surprised at the conclusions you can come to on your own when just given a chance!
