About Me

Hi, I'm Alissa Roach, a passionate Mathematics educator dedicated to helping students build confidence and excel in math. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with Education from the University of the West Indies and am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Mathematics Education at the Mico University College.I have also received training as a teacher mentor by the Jamaica Teachers Council (JTC).

With over four years of experience teaching Mathematics to students from grades 7 to 13, I strive to create engaging and supportive learning environments. My commitment to excellence has been recognized through two awards for achieving outstanding student performance in CAPE Integrated Mathematics.

I believe that education is a continuous journey, and I am always seeking ways to grow professionally and refine my teaching methods. By staying updated with the latest educational strategies, I ensure my students receive the best support to succeed in Mathematics and beyond.

 Philosophy 

I believe that education should be meaningful, engaging, and connected to real life. Learning is most effective when students can see its relevance beyond the classroom, which is why I focus on applying concepts to real-world situations. When students understand how their learning impacts their lives and future, they become more motivated and invested in the process.

I also recognize that learning is multifaceted and that every student is unique. Each learner comes with different strengths, backgrounds, and ways of understanding the world. Because of this, I strive to create a flexible and inclusive learning environment that caters to diverse needs. By using varied instructional strategies, interactive activities, and differentiated instruction, I ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

Ultimately, my goal as an educator is to inspire critical thinking, curiosity, and a love for lifelong learning. I am committed to continuous growth and professional development, always seeking to improve my methods to better support my students in reaching their full potential.
