Teaching Philosophy

Christy strongly believes that a classroom should be a place where students come to grow. She is a firm believer in the growth mindset, that every student can be successful and learn if they put in the effort. Christy believes math is a subject best learned by doing and students must take an active role in learning. Christy likes to have a balance of both herself and the students working at the board throughout her class.
