My name is Tymber Prager, and I have been teaching for 16 years. The majority of those years have been in upper-level mathematics. I personally struggled with math as a high school student and I feel that has given me an advantage in helping students learn mathematics because I have lived and understand the struggle. I feel any classroom setting should be built on relationships and respect. I use these strategies in my classroom every day and see the benefits of learning in an environment where a student feels free to be themselves.
