About
When you choose me, you are getting nearly 30 years of successful math teaching and tutoring experience. I have tutored and taught everything from Basic Arithmetic to Calc 2. I started tutoring professionally as a high school student. Since then, I've taught in many different environments - college classrooms, high school classrooms, online classrooms, and the corporate world. I spent seven years training peer math tutors in a college math lab. My entire career has been focused on math education having earned a B.S. in Secondary Math Education, a Master of Arts in Teaching Mathematics, both from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and an Education Specialist Degree from the University of Toledo, majoring in Statistics Education. Additionally, I have earned 60+ credit hours in graduate level mathematics courses from Bowling Green State University. There is no course up through Calculus 2 that I cannot help you with. I hope you let me try!
I especially love showing others that math is not necessarily the scary subject many think it is. I enjoy finding ways to help them remember what they've learned and give them shortcuts to complete problems once they've learned the fundamentals.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First, I ask the student what they are hoping to get out of the sessions. Often they want to do better in testing situations. If that is the case, then I like to go over a recent test with them and analyze the types of errors they are making on the test. I also give them a test anxiety assessment to see if that is playing a role in their test results. I give them tips and tricks on how to avoid the same type of mistakes on the next test, how to go about taking a test, and how to prepare for a test.
Some students may simply want me to help them with homework questions. I usually ask students to tell me everything they know about a problem they are struggling with. This is how I know where to start with the instructional process.
