Show Notes
Wanna know a secret? I failed math growing up and needed tutoring—plus, I’ve got ADHD and a little bit of autism that made learning a struggle. Now, after hundreds of hours self-studying, I’m the educator I always wished I had: someone who looked like me, thought like me, and truly cared about getting to know me.
Hey, I’m Jasmine, your artsy math tutor from Detroit! I help middle school students build confidence in math through creative methods like doodling, making math less intimidating and more fun. The result? My students typically grow one full grade level in their standardized tests before the year ends. 📈
I’m a proud graduate of James Madison University with a degree in Studio Art, but my heart belongs to education. After discovering my passion for teaching through programs like City Year, I’ve spent over 8 years helping students overcome math anxiety while dealing with my own chronic illness—Crohn’s disease—which has only deepened my empathy for others.
I believe in the power of community and creativity to transform education, so if you’re a teacher looking for fresh ideas and support, let’s connect!
Let’s make teaching and learning math way more fun together!
