ALL ABOUT
Sadecia Yates
I’m a math educator who believes in pursuing progress over perfection, exploring healthy hair styles, and eating bananas with peanut butter. (Because, duh.)
WELCOME TO MY LITTLE CORNER OF THE INTERNET*
*NOTE: WHERE THERE’S ALWAYS A PLAYLIST ON LOOP AND A MUG HALF FULL AND COLD.
I’M NOT JUST HERE TO TEACH MATH
My mission is to help your child learn confidently so you can focus on their future, not their frustration.
If you’re a parent juggling work, school emails, and 5th-grade fractions, I see you. You’ve tried every math app, late-night homework session, and pep talk. But it still feels like your child just…doesn’t ‘get it.’
Because the truth is — struggling in math isn’t about not knowing enough facts or formulas. It’s about how a student approaches a problem. Most kids learn math as a set of steps to memorize. But when those steps don’t fit a new problem, they freeze, shut down, or start believing the story: “I’m just not a math person.”
That’s when you realize something’s gotta change. Because how it’s been done isn’t working, and it never will (long term).
I’M ALL ABOUT
NOTICING PATTERNS
We slow down to take note of rhythms, mistakes, and “aha” moments. Math isn’t about rushing to the answer — it’s about making sense of it all.
ENGAGING THOUGHTFULLY
Learning is a two-way conversation. We listen, reflect, wonder, and build ideas together. Every thought is a stepping stone.
RELATING TO ANOTHER
Knowledge is co-created. Students and teachers both bring expertise — and together, we reason our way to understanding.
DESIGNING CLEVERLY
Math is creative. We explore multiple paths to a solution and build flexible thinkers who can problem-solve from any angle.
*ANYBODY ELSE NOTICE WHAT THE FIRST LETTERS SPELL?
YES, I’M A MATH TEACHER…
But what past parents have said is my real *SWEET SPOT* isn’t just raising grades. It’s helping students see themselves as deep thinkers with lasting confidence.
THE BIG QUESTION:
HOW DID I GET HERE?
AND THE BEST PART?
I’VE HELPED LEARNERS GROW A FULL GRADE OR MORE IN MATH
+ Helped a learner 5 years behind jump 1.5 grade levels — and more importantly, started believing in himself again.
+ Qualify for their school’s advanced math class.
+ Gained confidence in herself again and explaining her thinking clearly
+ Break a year long streak of failed quizzes with their first 90%
So…what big goal are we reaching in the next 12 weeks?
