Ever since she was a little girl, all Dr. Susan DeMoss ever wanted to be was a teacher. For every birthday and holiday present, she would receive school supplies. After over thirty years of serving as a high-school and university professor as well as an administrator, she still loves it. Currently, she serves as the Associate Headmaster at Christian Heritage Academy in Del City. Along with her administrative duties, she teaches five sections of dual-credit math course work (College Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus 1, 2, and 3) through Oklahoma Wesleyan University.
"When my own children were growing up, I taught them the main concepts for their upcoming math classes each summer. We worked on speed drills as we traveled on every summer vacation. We dubbed our trips 'edu-vations.' This same approach is the basis of the Summer Math Institute. Students prepare for the next year through fun and engaging methods to strengthen their math skills. Noah and Hannah have done a fabulous job preparing your experience and have made it so much fun for kids."
Hannah was a part of the graduating class of 2020 from Christian Heritage Academy. She also graduated in the spring of 2024 from Oklahoma Baptist University with a degree in math education. Hannah now works at Christian Heritage Academy as the Pre-Algebra and Algebra II teacher. She began teaching at the Summer Math Institute OKC in 2018. Hannah loves watching her students see the character of God seen in math. His power, design, and order can be studied through the lens of mathematics, and it can lead them to worship the creator of all things.
"Mathematics is respected not just because of its difficulty but because of the hard work that students put forth so they may master the concepts. I love watching the students that attend the Summer Math Institute because they pursue excellence during the summer, so they can be better prepared for the coming school year."
MIriam is a part of the graduating class of 2025 from Christian Heritage Academy. She began teaching at the Summer Math Institute in 2024. Miriam also tutors many students privately throughout the school year. After graduation, she will pursue a degree in Engineering at Oklahoma Christian University. My favorite part of SMI is watching the kid's confidence increase after understanding a new topic.
Caroline is a part of the graduating class of 2025 from Christian Heritage Academy. She began teaching at the Summer Math Institute in 2024. Caroline also tutors Pre-Algebra and Algebra students. Her favorite part about the Summer Math Institute is getting to see the students enjoy the fun in math.
