About the Instructor
I am a certified mathematics teacher and instructional leader with over 10 years of experience teaching and supporting middle school students. I have served as both a classroom math teacher and an instructional supervisor, coaching teachers and analyzing student performance data to improve math outcomes across grade levels. I specialize in helping students who feel stuck in math rebuild their understanding step-by-step. My instruction focuses on number sense, problem solving and helping students understand why math works, not just how. Families often come to me when homework has become stressful or confidence has dropped. My goal is to make math clear again so students can work independently and feel capable in class. Work-Life Symmetry Math provides structured, consistent instruction designed to close learning gaps and build long-term confidence.
