Prevent or Overcome Math Trauma
Professional Development and Consulting in Math Education
Professional development your teachers will enjoy. Powerful workshops, speaking engagements, and personalized one-on-one consulting.
Helping students overcome math trauma and work through emotional blocks, while supporting teachers to create a positive environment for learning math.
Incorporating socio-emotional learning into math class (without sacrificing rigor!) because learning math is cognitive AND emotional.
Dr. Geillan Aly
is a mathematics educator and former award winning Assistant Professor who received her PhD in Teaching and Teacher Education and a Master’s in Mathematics from the University of Arizona.
Her research focuses on the emotional side of learning mathematics and includes how computer-centered learning has affected students’ abilities to control their learning environment and how meditation may reduce mathematics anxiety.
Dr. Aly has been teaching at the university level for over ten years and, without sacrificing rigor, brings a personalized math learning experience to the classroom through active learning methods and by centering students’ emotional well-being. She is very familiar with the Common Core Standards and has experience teaching mathematics to Middle and High School students.
Underlying all of Dr. Aly’s teaching and research is a dedication to diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice in mathematics education. She enjoys traveling, seeing live music, and is an avid chef. Geillan is also a wife and mother of a beautiful boy. They live near Hartford, CT.
