Meet the Math Corps Tutors!

My name is Maddie and I'm one of the Math Corps members at Hidden River Middle School for the 2021-2022 school year. I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Asian Languages and Literature in 2015. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy knitting, baking, going for walks, playing video games, and using computers to make music and small-scale video games. I like exploring how math shows up in students' everyday lives to make concepts more tangible for students as we work through content.
