  • What sets Numerade apart from other tutoring services for educators?
    • I am not super familiar with many of the other tutoring services, but from what I have seen, Numerade seems to have the most professional-looking format for its videos and responses. Many other services often look like informal chat sites.
  • How has Numerade refined or improved your teaching ability?
    • Numerade has given me the ability to hone my communication skills, especially when it comes to giving simplified explanations.
  • How has creating content on Numerade improved your overall preferred STEM subject knowledge?
    • Numerade has helped me to expand my knowledge as I address new questions. It has also helped me to refresh my knowledge on topics that I haven’t explored in a while.
  • How do you think educators could use Numerade for professional development?
    • Numerade could possibly offer video content that addresses questions pertaining to education/childhood development beyond the psychology realm.
  • What other unexpected benefits have you gained from being an educator on Numerade?
    • Numerade helped me to develop my speaking voice and hopefully enhance my teaching delivery. It has also been a blessing to my family as a source of additional income.
  • We saw you have a combined total of 26 years of teaching sciences! That’s so impressive! Do you have a specific topic that’s your favorite to cover with students?🙂
    • I really enjoy teaching Newton’s Laws of Motion in Physical Science and I love teaching Plant and Animal Cells in Biology.
