With over 25 years of experience teaching mathematics at the university level, I’ve dedicated my career to helping students build understanding and confidence in math.
Throughout my time as an educator and advisor, I’ve seen students struggle when they:
• lack the foundational knowledge needed for a course,
• need clear resources to review key concepts, or
• are trying to learn challenging material on their own.
I created Understand The Math to help make mathematics more accessible through clear explanations, guided notes, and step-by-step video lessons that support students both inside and outside the classroom.
