about

Meet Michelle

I’m a wife and mom to two wonderful boys, and I live in New Jersey, where I love spending time outdoors with my family. 

Early in my teaching career, while earning my Masters degree, I discovered the incredible power of hands-on learning.  For the first time in my education, I was exploring math with manipulatives and making sense of numbers in a way I never had before -I was hooked! 

 

After experiencing the power of making math hands on and visual, I completely changed my approach to teaching.  Since then, my mission has been clear: to help my students develop a deep, lasting understanding of mathematics through hands-on and visual learning. 

 

If you’re a passionate parent or teacher eager to help your students truly grasp mathematical concepts, your’re in the right place! 🙂

Meet Nichole

Math is my passion–and has been since I was a student myself. Now, as an educator, my passion has expanded beyond understanding math, but rather instilling a deep conceptual understanding of mathematics in students that will set a trajectory for their future success. In a fast-paced and changing world, students need to develop skills beyond performing calculations. They need to understand ‘the why’ as opposed to just ‘the how.’ I have a proven track record of success in  using hands-on manipulatives and drawings to make the difference that allows students to reach their potential.

 

My mission is for  every child to have the opportunity to succeed in math.  Through working with educators and parents, I can create math environments where students flourish in their exploration of mathematics and create lasting curiosity and understanding.

 

Outside of work, my other passion is being a mom to my two young children. I enjoy running (during the short time when the weather is warm) and exploring new places with my husband.
