Parkwood Magic
About
My Business website, www.parkwoodmagic.com, has links to six of my educational Facebook pages. I have experience working with college students, high school, and elementary.
I have experience using Zoom for online tutoring sessions. Most of my tutoring experience has been at the college level. I have tutored topics from Arithmetic to Calculus III.
Currently I am a substitute teacher for Ogelthorpe County, Madison County, and Georgia Cyber Academy.
I enjoy making students feel good about their math studies. Helping to improve needed background skills for harder topics is my specialty.
