Christina has many years of tutoring experience, working with a wide range of students from elementary through college. She also has experience supporting students with special needs in both group and one-on-one settings. When not tutoring, she enjoys hiking, reading, trail running, and mountain biking. She loves exploring with her boyfriend and their lovable, silly dog, Loki. One memorable experience for Christina was tutoring a student with learning disabilities who struggled to consistently recall sight words. Some sessions he remembered them, while in others he forgot. Christina realized the difficulty stemmed from a lack of confidence, as the student would give up before trying. To build his confidence, she introduced star stickers, placing one on a card each time he recalled a word correctly. Over time, the student could see one, two, or even three stickers on a card, which showed him that he did know the word. This small but meaningful strategy helped him believe in his ability and encouraged him to try rather than give up.

With a background in engineering and applied mathematical modeling in research laboratories I experienced different ways to use math to describe natural phenomenon. This joy for using math later translated into a joy for teaching math especially in a way that is interactive and intuitive. To achieve this I like to approach math using different representations and analogies to give students an opportunity to think critically and develop their intuition. I then reinforce that intuition through practice and exposure to challenging math problems. This approach helps students develop their own perspective which enables them to become more confident and independent in their math practice. Outside of education, I really enjoy the outdoors whether it be hiking, camping, fishing, swimming and agriculture.

Jose Munoz-Lopez is an educator, math researcher, and lifelong student of mathematics and science. Beyond his academic pursuits, he enjoys running, cycling, tennis, and chess. He takes great pride in being an educator and cherishes the "eureka moments" when his students discover excitement in mathematics. During the pandemic, he recalls teaching systems of equations online and using slopes to help students make sense of solution sets. To make the lesson engaging, he built an interactive Desmos activity with sliders that allowed students to manipulate equations and visualize solution sets. This transformed the session into a hands-on, conversational experience where students actively engaged and drew their own conclusions through guided exploration. Jose’s approach to assessing mastery centers on having students explain their process and then gradually increasing the level of challenge through carefully scaffolded problems.
