Hello! My name is Shanelle and I teach economics and algebra primarily to middle school, high school, and college students, but I can teach anyone at any age. I have a passion for teaching and I’m excited to help you work through any economic or algebra problems you encounter!
I have multiple degrees in economics including a B.A. in Economics from University of Chicago, M.S. in Applied Economics from Johns Hopkins University, Doctorate of Economic Development from New Mexico State University, and a PhD in Water Science & Management with a focus in Water Economics from New Mexico State University. All of these degrees had a strong mathematics focus, so I have extensive experience with mathematics subjects such as algebra.
I have worked as a tutor while getting my degrees and I have also taught university classes in microeconomics and macroeconomics while getting my PhD. I have also taught community college courses before and after my PhD.
I tailor my teaching to the individual and engage with you by igniting curiosity and integrating understanding at a deep level by improving critical thinking skills, experiential understanding, practicing practical applications, and connecting practical understanding to abstract, theoretical concepts.
I am a polymath and I have a variety of interests beyond economics and mathematics. I am a musician and I sing, play guitar, and play piano. I also play tennis and enjoy hiking. I also have a variety of other interests. I bring this polymathic holistic understanding into my teaching methods.
Feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions or to schedule a lesson. I look forward to meeting you and helping you reach your goals!
