BIO:
Tyler Wallace is in his 15th year working at Big Bend Community College. He earned a doctorate in educational leadership from Liberty University and two master’s degrees, one in Mathematics from the University of Houston and one in Mathematics Education from George Fox University. He has taught math for the majority of the years he has been at BBCC and, in September of 2021, he started a TikTok account to connect with his students and create small TikTok and trend videos about math.
Less than a month later, one went viral and now he has over 300K followers, between both TikTok and Instagram combined, and many other viral videos, including one with nearly 15 million views! Outside of TikTok and teaching math, Tyler enjoys providing financial counseling, running half marathons (because he is only half crazy) and touring the world (especially Latin America) with his family.
