Welcome
My work experience as a mathematics teacher consists of Bishop Montgomery High School, and two high schools in the San Bernardino City Unified School District. As for my education, I hold the following degrees: a Master of Science in Mathematics from Loyola Marymount University; a Master of Arts in Educational Administration from Concordia University Irvine; a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from University of Redlands (double major in Mathematics and Spanish with a minor in Education); and I was Valedictorian from La Sierra High School in Riverside, Ca. As noted below, I am currently teaching AP Calculus BC, AP Calculus AB, Statistics, and Honors Algebra II; and I am involved in the Math Club and in the Mock Trial Club, as well.
AP Calculus BC is designed to be the equivalent to both first and second semester college calculus courses. This course applies the content and skills learned in AP Calculus AB to parametrically defined curves, polar curves, and vector-valued functions. Students develop additional integration techniques and applications and are introduced to the topics of sequences and series.
AP Calculus AB is designed to be the equivalent of a first semester college calculus course. Students will study topics in differential and integral calculus, including limits, derivatives, and integrals. The course emphasizes conceptual understanding, problem-solving, and real-world applications across various fields.
Statistics is a two-semester college preparatory mathematics course. This course begins with an introduction to statistics, and goes into an in-depth study of statistics grouped into the following four parts: descriptive statistics, probability, probability distributions, and statistical inference.
Algebra II is a two-semester college preparatory mathematics course. This course begins with an extension of topics covered in Algebra I, and goes into an in-depth study of polynomial, radical, exponential, logarithmic, and rational functions and equations, including other advanced algebra topics to fully prepare for any of the following two-semester courses: AP Precalculus, Honors Introduction to Calculus, Introduction to Calculus and/or AP Statistics course.

Honors Algebra II (summer school) is a two-semester college preparatory mathematics courses. This five-week summer course begins with an extension of topics covered in Algebra I, and goes into an in-depth study of polynomial, radical, exponential, logarithmic, and rational functions and equations, including other advanced algebra topics needed in statistics and trigonometry to fully prepare the Honors Algebra II students for any of the following three two-semester courses: Honors Introduction to Calculus, AP Precalculus, and/or AP Statistics during this coming school year. Along with learning these pieces of knowledge, the course will also have the Honors Algebra II students develop 21st century skills in idea design, refinement, and in reasoning, as well as the attributes of courage and resilience.
Remember the Late Work Policy and Attendance Policy as noted on the syllabus: Late work will only be accepted ONE DAY after its initial due date for HALF CREDIT; after that no points will be given at all. Zero, zip, zilch, NADA. ❌ 📝 🙅 Excused absences will be given extra time (the same number of days as the absence) in order to complete and turn in any missed assignments. 📆 📓 ✏️
I am available for tutoring every Monday and Wednesday after school from 2:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., but can be available before/after school any day of the week for any additional assistance as needed, so see me to schedule an appointment. Please contact me via email with any questions or concerns. 🙂
