Award winning math teacher, and successful business woman, dedicated everything she has to make learning possible for everyone.

Stephanie Foresta has created a company which is Foresta Math, and the company helps students learn math easier.

The website (www.forestamath.com) is set up for students to go to and learn from if they need help with the subject math.

It also contains several different math lessons. The math lessons are broken down into different tutorials to help students.

Foresta has created many other alternatives for students for math learning. She made a math game and a book in order to help students. This 357 page book is on how students can pass their math proficiencies.

"I created Math Draw, it’s like Go Fish. It has vocabulary, definitions, and diagrams. It’s a set of flash cards to help the students remember what they have learned, and what they need to study," said Foresta.

This All-Star teacher has not only just created her own business and has also won several awards this year, commemorating her work.

"I have been awarded the Certificate of recognition from UNLV for making a difference in the lives of students and inspiring them to persue their dreams through higher education," she explained.

She has also been awarded by Barns and Noble for a favorite teacher contest, prior to her earlier awards.

A pervious student had written in to the contest and Foresta has won, also she was awarded the Certificate of recognition from UNLV also from a previous student write in also.

"I will always teach, I love teaching," explained Foresta. "I have a passion for making a difference in people’s lives, seeing people succeed in their life gives me a feeling of purpose for helping people."

Foresta finds that helping students achieve their goals is something that a person will remeber forever.

"Making an impact in someone’s life is something I believe a person will always remember, being remembered for making a difference is an amazing feeling," said Foresta.
