Justin

Current math teacher

I had a few bad experiences in middle school and believed the lie that I "wasn't a math person". I spent summers in summer school and working with tutors, and then grew in my self-confidence. My high school algebra 2 teacher completed the process of turning the lights on, and the rest is history. I've been helping out in math ever since. I've tutored for the past 8 years as a math teacher at The King's Academy, both inside of the school and with outside students. I love being able to help... Read more
