Gong, Ph.D.
Dr. Gong graduated from Colorado School of Mines with a Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering. She has been teaching a wide range of high school level mathematics subjects at FBISD in recent years. She is currently the team leader for Algebra 2 and a mentor for new teachers. In addition, Dr. Gong has extensive experience teaching SAT Math, PSAT Math and ISEE Math.
Dr. Gong is excited to be working with Momentum Learning. Her daughter attended several classes with Momentum Learning before and greatly improved her problem solving skills. Dr. Gong has a great passion for teaching. She enjoys engaging students and helping them make connections with real world applications.
Dr. Gong’s goal is to help students solve different levels of math problems and improve their mathematics knowledge and problem solving skills.
All instructional materials from the camp, including recorded sessions, will remain accessible for an additional three months following the conclusion of the camp. Zoom and Canvas platforms will be utilized for delivery and access to these resources.
