A Bit About Me
My name is Liza. During my childhood I attended an outdoorsy school in the mountains of North Carolina. I grew up loving school, nature and learning; knowing from a young age that I wanted to teach. I spent a year assisting in a K-1 classroom, followed by several years of teaching and training co-workers at local manufacturers. I'm a bright and optimistic person who has a passion for helping others to learn and grow. I loved learning in this kind of an environment as a kid and I'm honored to have the opportunity to pass it on to the future generations.
I teach math for ages 6-9 here at AATA. We all learn in different ways and young children learn best with multi-sensory activities. Therefore I teach with lots of hands-on activities to keep kids engaged and inquisitive, allowing them to use their energy and simultaneously work on fine motor skills. I plan to teach in a way that allows the kids to use their creative thinking to find multiple solutions and become truly comfortable with the concepts. I've always had a passion for math and numbers and I'm excited to be able to share my love for math with the kids!
