About Tutor: Lila J….

I have been a math and science teacher for 18 years. I started my career in 2001 at a small charter school in Hawaii (West Hawaii Explorations Academy). I developed a passion for education while using a unique project based learning curriculum. I have also taught middle school math and science in Texas and North Dakota. I was born in Missouri and I went to college in Santa Cruz, California. I know what it is like to move around and have to find your footing in a new place. I became a teacher because I love science and wanted to help other kids who sometimes struggle. I earned a degree in molecular biology before I started teaching. However, I understand what it is like to struggle with math because I had difficulty with it when I was younger. I was able to overcome that challenge and I became passionate about math. I became a teacher so I could help other kids who sometimes struggle.
