My Personal Background:
I grew up playing many sports, although my true love was soccer, which I played at a high level through university. As I settled into my adult life I was unable to continue playing as we lived in a small town with no women’s soccer team. I began long distance running as well as having more adventures biking, hiking, skiing and snowboarding. These days I can be found trying to keep up to my two children mountain biking, wake surfing and snowboarding.
Sports and mathematics are very similar: to gain proficiency you must practice. We tend to practice what we're good at because it's easy, but it's the skills we're bad at that need the most work. Growth comes from focusing on those areas.
My Educational Background:
I am a passionate educator with 20+ years of experience. I have a BSc in both Mathematics and Education, as well as a Masters degree in Education; allowing me to have a unique perspective when helping students.
My Teaching Experience
I have worked to improve student's lives through the school system but have become increasingly frustrated by the lack of resources for struggling students. These feelings of frustration and helplessness led me to try a more targeted and personalized approach for individual students, outside of the school system.
My goal is to have a student work to reduce these deficits, if not removing them entirely, to help build confidence in their mathematic abilities.
