Introduction
My name is Clio Hartzer. I have been teaching high school mathematics for over a decade, specializing in Algebra II and Calculus. I'm especially passionate about addressing student anxieties about mathematics, and about making mathematics accessible to a wide audience.
I am also a writer, and I see a connection between mathematics, language, and computer programming: They all involve communicating abstract ideas in ways that solve problems.
Prior to becoming a teacher, I worked in market research in a variety of technical capacities, including database management, computer programming, questionnaire development, and field management.
I embrace new technology, and seek ways of including it in the classroom. I have been maintaining my lecture notes in OneNote and share those with my students. I have also created several custom Desmos Activities.
