You gave up on math years ago.
Maybe a teacher made you feel stupid. Maybe you failed a test and decided it wasn't for you. That story isn't true, and it's not too late.
I'm Carrie The One: math teacher, drag performer, and the person who decided those two things were a perfect match. I teach math on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube to students and adults who were told they just weren't "math people." You probably are. Let's find out.
Math has a reputation problem, and most of it was built by bad experiences, not by math itself. Wherever you're coming from, you're in the right place.

They were wrong. That's not a thing. Math isn't a personality trait. It's a skill, and skills can be learned.
The way math is usually taught doesn't stick. There's a better way, one you'll actually remember.
You know the material. You need a way to make it land. That's exactly what this is for.
You deserve problems that make you curious, not just busy.
I'm a high school math teacher from central Pennsylvania. I've loved math for as long as I can remember, but I always knew it could be more than worksheets and dread.
In 2021, I started making math videos for social media. I wanted something with energy and attitude. Math is a Drag was born.
Making videos as Carrie is the perfect culmination of everything I love: stand-up comedy, community theater, costume design, and teaching.
The drag is the point. If you're paying attention to the spectacle, you're learning the math. That's the whole trick.
A taste of what gets students stitching. New videos every Sunday on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Courses are in development. When they're ready, you'll find them here — structured, fabulous, and worth the wait. If you want to know the moment they drop, get on the list.
I make these videos because I love it — but if a video unstuck a problem that's been following you around since eighth grade, I'll happily accept a cup of coffee. No subscription. No obligation. Just a tip jar for a teacher who wears heels to work.
