Michael Carroll

Michael joined YDTM! in August of 2014. After earning his degree from the University of Iowa in 2014, Michael moved to Colorado to be closer to snowboarding and hiking. While in high school he played on his school’s soccer, swimming, wrestling and track & field teams. Michael also did volunteer tutoring for his high school after he earned his degree and learned that he really enjoyed tutoring. He believes that learning math develops problem solving skills that translate to other subjects and helps students with learning in general. His ultimate goal is to get students confident and comfortable in their coursework.

Hank Lacey

 

Hank joined YDTM! in October 2019.  Hank is a science educator who has worked with middle- and high school students in all fields of science – biology, chemistry, Earth system science, environmental science, and physics – and in pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry, geometry and test preparation (ACT and SAT).  He has also taught at the college level as an adjunct instructor. He has also worked as a naturalist at several preserves and has written extensively about science.

Hank believes that the best way to encourage student mastery of math & science is to emphasize the fun that it can be and to give students an opportunity to see and appreciate its practical value. He incorporates activities into his teaching, as well as more traditional methods.
