More About Cheryl Hile
As the creator of Understand The Math, I bring over 25 years of experience as an educator teaching mathematics at the university level and being involved in academic administration and advising.
While working with students, I have witnessed the challenges they face when they lack the background knowledge needed to succeed in a course, need resources to review a concept, are not receiving adequate instruction, or are not able to attend class and have to learn the material on their own.
In response to these challenges, I have founded Understand The Math with the aim of providing students the help that they need to succeed and cultivating a passion for lifelong learning.
