About
I have been teaching math since 1993. I have taught algebra, geometry, algebra 2, integrated math 3, and trigonometry. I LOVE helping students in class and through tutoring. I think everyone can be helped through 1-on-1 or small group instruction.
I love hearing a student say "OMG, I totally understand now!" Or I love it when a student realizes that they are capable of understanding math and start to believe in themselves. That part is so rewarding. Everyone CAN learn math with practice and the correct instructor.
I love helping students learn and become confident in their own abilities!
