The 2019 - 2020 school year will mark my 15th year teaching math in public schools and 8th year teaching math in Duncanville. I have taught sixth grade math, Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2. This year I will be teaching six courses of Algebra 1 and one course of Geometry Pre-AP. I also have been tutoring math in some capacity since I was 13 years old.
The main goals for Algebra 1 students this school year are to a) Pass the Algebra 1 course; and b) Reach at least the MEETS level on the Algebra 1 EOC exam.
The main goals for Geometry students this school year are to a) Successfully pass the Geometry course; and b) Improve college readiness scores on standardized tests.
My philosophy is "If you are willing to learn, then I am willing to help!"
I enjoy watching TV game shows, basketball (GO SPURS GO!), baseball (LET'S GO RANGERS), and football (GIG 'EM AGGIES!); listening to R&B music (late 1970s/early 1980s) and smooth jazz, and working on puzzles (doing them and creating them). I am married to my wife of over 6 years and we have three sons that are 11 years old, 5 years old, and 3 years old.
