"I built this tool on a Tuesday afternoon when I had 32 spelling tests to grade, 10 minutes before parent pickup, and a broken EZ Grader wheel on my desk. There had to be a better way — and now there is."

About Me

I'm a licensed K-5 classroom teacher with over 10 years of active teaching experience in the Texas public school system. I currently teach 4th grade at a Texas public school, where I specialize in literacy-based assessment, standards-aligned grading, and classroom time management.

I hold a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Curriculum & Instruction and a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.), both from the University of Texas at Austin. I'm a certified Texas educator under the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) and have completed professional development in differentiated instruction and data-driven grading practices.

Over my career, I've graded thousands of quizzes, tests, and assignments across every subject, and that firsthand experience is the foundation of every tool and article on EZ Grade Calculator. Every feature on this site was shaped by a real classroom problem I faced myself.

Why I Built EZ Grade Calculator

Like most teachers, I spent years relying on a plastic EZ Grader wheel that lived at the bottom of my desk drawer. When it broke for the third time, I searched for a reliable online replacement and found tools that were either too slow, too complicated, or too expensive.

So I built my own.

EZ Grade Calculator was designed with one goal: to give teachers an instant, accurate, distraction-free grading tool that works the way they actually work fast, on any device, with no account required and no cost attached.
