About Valerie
I enjoy helping students gain confidence and intuition for mathematics. I have extensive knowledge of Next Generation Learning Standards as well as its precedents, allowing me to teach the content the way in which is intended. My focus is on problem-solving, and I help students develop a mathematical toolbox of problem-solving strategies.
I am a certified teacher in mathematics and have taught Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry, with 12 years of teaching experience and 8+ years as a staff developer. I am currently a staff developer for teachers of mathematics.
I've worked with students at all age levels, from Kindergarten through adults.
I love when my students begin to realize that they can trust their own knowledge and intuition to solve any problem, even when the solution/process is not immediately obvious. That is when the magic happens--when they can use what they know to get to the next logical step.
When I was in 4th grade, I learned some American Sign Language and asked the Kindergarten teachers if I could go to their classroom to teach sign language during my recess period. Amazingly, they let me, and I've loved teaching ever since.
I was a middle- and high school teacher for 12 years, and am/was a math staff developer for 8+ years.
Education: MIT, '96; Teachers College at Columbia University (ABD); MA and certified in Secondary Math Education.

In general, I try to tutor myself out of a job.
I assess study habits as well as thought processes with which the student is most comfortable. Then, I help the student hone the strategies that work for that student, using his or her current assignments and exams.
Of course, I explain concepts when necessary, but whenever possible, I try to put the student in a position to think through the answers on his/her own.
I've taught in inner city schools in NYC, including one-on-one with students with disabilities. With students at any level, I can quickly assess their natural abilities and work from there.
I think it is important to temporarily set aside worries about grades/testing etc. and just focus on developing conceptual understanding and problem-solving. While this may not be the best thing short-term, I really believe that it pays off long-term. Rather than just "going through the motions" to get through the course, it is better to develop abilites that you can rely on for the rest of your life.
