About me
Beth Powell loves working with students who hate math! She is passionate about finding the approach that allows students to understand math and gain confidence as a math student. Beth has worked in math education for 25 years. She received her BA in Math at SJSU, where she tutored math in programs that helped first generation college students successfully complete STEM majors. While getting her masters in Transformative Leadership, she focused on math education and the assumptions underlying how we teach math.
As a learning specialist, Beth is trained in a variety of multisensory programs including Lindamood-Bell programs and Slingerland. She has taught graduate courses at UCSC Extension for the Educational Therapy Department. She was a director at The Reading Clinic where she had the opportunity to work with hundreds of students in reading, comprehension, expression, writing, and math.
