What do you like most about being a math coach?
What I like most about being a math coach is the opportunity to make a meaningful impact at both the student and teacher level. I love collaborating with educators to bring math to life in their classrooms — helping them feel confident, supported and excited about the subject.
There’s something incredibly rewarding about seeing students grow, not just in their skills, but in their belief that they can do math.
