I am a retired teacher with 33 years of teaching Elementary School. I have taught K-4th grade. I have taught all subjects, but Math is my absolute favorite. I have earned experience in Montgomery, Elmore, and Lee counties. I also taught for 15 years in Williamson County in Tennessee where I was rewarded Teacher of Year. I have been retired for 7 years and math and science the best. I have always loved when the light turns and they finally get it.😊

Hi! I'm currently a middle school (6-8) Math Teacher at the Valiant Cross Academy! I specialize in not only computation, but conceptual math (especially Algebra and Geometry) as well - this means I know how to break every problem down to its inner core to help you overcome every challenge! I absolutely love "making sense" out of unfamiliar concepts...algebra is something that comes second nature to me, but I also love the word-problem and logistical side of math as well. Any problems you're having, I will not fail in breaking them down and giving you the tools to accomplish the same!...

Hi my name is Coach Howard and I am a full time math educator now interested in tutoring. I've been teaching 7 years and I love it. Teaching is definitely my passion. I believe everyone is cable of conquering mathematical skills and enjoying it while doing so, some students just need that extra push and that's where a teacher like myself can help.

There are many different ways to solve any math problem. I will find the way that makes the most mathsense to you. I have a 2003 Master's of Science Degree in Civil Engineering and have taken math classes of all levels and have for many years been successful in raising test scores multiple letter grades in students ranging from 3rd grade through college students. Many educators do not have the time or resources work to find the methods that fit the mindset of their students. I bridge that gap for them and restore the confidence of the student to perform in the math classroom....
