About me...

My name is Peyton Ivey and I am a Junior at the University of South Alabama. I am currently majoring in Mathematics and Secondary Education. I have lived in Mobile for my entire life where I attended Faith Academy from my elementary and high school years. I believe that a child's education experience highly depends on their teacher.
Before my seventh grade year, I hated math. However, during this year, I had a wonderful math teacher who knew how to hold the attention of his students. From that point on, I learned the importance of math both in my education world and the real world. I would have never understood this if I would not have had such a good teacher.
My goal is to bring an understanding of Mathematics to all students in order for them to be better prepared for their future.

Teacher/Student Relationship

One of the most important aspects of a child's education experience is their relationship with their teachers. I believe that a teacher should make his/her students feel at ease in the classroom while still maintaining a sense of authority. I want my future students to feel open to come to me at any time and ask me questions, discuss their concerns on the course, and not feel like I would judge them in any way. This will ease the stress of going through school and make the students feel more comfortable.
