Hear what others are saying:

  • "Sandy gave me the best feedback I have ever received. She was kind, caring, and always made me feel better when I felt I wasn't doing enough. She gave me strategies from books, online, and her own personal experiences. She taught me that not everything works perfectly as hoped for and that is okay. She taught me to focus on the quality of what my students were learning rather than the quantity. I will forever be grateful for Sandy and all she did to help me as a new teacher."

  • "[My son's] grades immediately improved. I think having to be accountable to [Sandra] was almost as useful as the actual tutoring."

  • "Ms. Spaziani welcomed me with open arms and was able to satisfy my needs in learning. Each day we had one on one lessons to help my performance with math. I can gratefully say Ms. Spaziani helped me academically and mentally. I passed my math exams and classes with her time and help. I felt so prepared to start college. Thank you! 5 Stars!"

Improving Mathematics Instruction for All Learners

I work with math teachers to develop a a relational approach to teaching mathematics. This approach is not only research based, but it has helped reach students of all abilities improve their math scores by several grade levels.

Teaching mathematics relationally improves overall understanding and long-term retention of concepts in students, increases engagement, and reduces the feelings of, “I can’t do math!” that many of our students develop over time.

How do we use the tools and techniques at our disposal to reach every learner in our classrooms?

The Art and Science of Reaching Every Learner is designed to help teachers develop the mindset, passion, knowledge and skills to create learning environments where all students are learning and growing.

This is an art and it can be learned.
