Hamunaptra HillsOrange Park, FLDean's List College Student
I am a computer science major at the University of North Florida, and in the Fall of 2024, I will be graduating with a bachelor's degree.
Being a computer science major means taking more advanced math subjects such as Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Linear Algebra, and other high-level math courses. I've scored proficiently in these classes, earning As in these courses minus Calculus 2, in which I earned a B.
I am passionate about teaching this subject because I feel that in order to succeed in higher-level math courses, having a good understanding of Algebra is a necessity to help you perform well. It is the first math class that will test a student and give them a clue of what they will be facing when their education proceeds.
I also just like teaching the subject as I've always loved doing Algebra. In my earlier years of education, I used to hate math and never really enjoyed doing it. Algebra was the first math subject that gave me genuine enjoyment and allowed me to overcome my hatred for mathematics. I loved it so much that I remember having discussions with my peers about certain problems, different ways of doing them, etc. I did very well in the class, earning one of the highest scores on the final in my class.
My proficiency in the subject was great enough that my other classmates would come to me to ask for assistance when they struggled with their problems. I always loved helping, and sometimes, my simplified way of teaching the topic would my classmates truly understand it.
My goal is to not only help students understand Algebra better but to also instill a level of respect and understanding of Algebra and math in general.
