Linda N. Chung

My name is Linda Chung and I am as homegrown as it gets. I completed most of my education just a few miles from Unity High and I grew up in the same neighborhoods that your kids have. My primary and secondary schooling were completed in Alameda and my collegiate pursuits all at local Universities as well. For as far back as I can remember I have wanted to be a teacher. Even while I was serving our country in the Armed forces through my High school and College years, my passion has been consistently pulling me in the direction of helping people learn the necessary skills to be better versions of themselves. I began putting together my aptitude to do that efficiently at the University of California, Berkeley, with my undergraduate studies focused on the most struggled with, and perhaps the most imperative subject in all of secondary education, which is undisputedly Mathematics. I further sharpened my capability at Cal State-East Bay by pursuing a Masters Degree and teaching credential to turn my dream into a very realizable practicality. I’ve learned over the years that Math can be a fundamental differential in one’s capacity to succeed in life. I’m not just talking about if one can pursue higher education in Math or even be at an advanced level, but if one can acquire the logical judgment ability that enables one to practice math, than that same person can use the equivalent logic to make calculated decisions to pursue a superior life.
