What do you like most about learning?
I cherish the opportunity to practice having an open mind and see something from a new perspective.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
The ability to boost a students confidence. By teaching a topic in a way they might not have seen before, struggling students can see that they are great at math, they just haven't found a strategy that works for them.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
Any math I can make the student discover themselves. One common example is taking a hallowed out cylinder and cone and filling the cone with water. I then have the student see how many full cones it takes to fill a whole cylinder. Through this the student discovers themselves that a cylinder is always 3x the size a cone with the same radius and height.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I allow students to take control of their own learning. If a student is curious about any part of math, not just what they're working on, I make sure to answer their question with enthusiasm. I also try to relate the math they're working on to their personal interests, especially if parts of their identity are not commonly represented in a typical math textbook.

I like learning because it challenges me to think in new ways and grow every day.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
The biggest impact I’ve had is tutoring a first grader in basic computation using standard algorithms, and they are now performing above their grade level in math.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I make learning math fun for students by offering them rewards such as stars for completing challenge problems and simple timed challenges, like finishing a practice page in two minutes for double stars.
