About
I’ve loved math since I was a kid, but I don’t think I really understood what mathematics was until I went to college and took a course in pure math. Before that, school had always been easy for me. As the difficulty increased, though, I started to realize that the traditional ways of teaching weren’t really working for me.
It soon became confusing to hear long lectures, to see chalkboards covered with formulas, and to receive explanations which had no clear connection to anything I was able to visualize. I am one of the kinds of people for whom mathematics only really makes sense when they can see it, so I would describe myself as a visual thinker.
The resources I found online at that time helped me a lot, and they still influence the work I make today. Now I teach math through visual explanations, animations, and interactive tools that I create. A lot of my ideas come from the things my students get stuck on, as well as the struggles I remember having myself.
