I have my masters in math from the university of Connecticut. I spent 3 years teaching math when I was there. My students and I always had a great dynamic; we liked to laugh and they always felt comfortable and respected in our classroom. I live to surf and I think this translates into my teaching style: laid-back, and adaptive; big picture, and small details.
I am currently an adjunct at WCC.

Even if you don’t plan to be a mathematician, you can always find something to enjoy while learning math (with the right approach.) The “right approach” is different for each student; it’s important for me to take the time to see how you think about things, then we can see how to meet your needs.
I believe that the two main tenets of a mathematics education are ‘conceptual understanding’ and ‘problem solving’,
you can’t really have one without the other. You will develop both of these skills with me. We will also work on strategies (for problem solving, exams, etc.) and presentation.

Ultimately, my goal is for my students to feel confident in themselves as math students; to use what methods and skills they found most effective once they leave my classroom, to be successful in whatever they pursue.
You aren't just learning more than just algebra or calculus, you are learning how to understand logic and how to think analytically; these skills transcend the math classroom.
