I bring four years of professional teaching experience: two years in second grade and two years in fourth grade. I am married to the love of my life, William Lott, and the mother to two beautifully busy baby girls, Willow (4) and Teigan (2). I look forward to exploring the world of math with you using real life examples. Children should be able to see it as such. They need to apply it to the world around them. Instead of just doing problems that have no relevance to life, make real connections for them.
