About
I work well with students who do not like math or have struggled in math. I have an MA in Counseling and Educational Diagnostician, and a BS in Special Education. I have worked in public schools, private schools, home schools, and tutoring for over 25 years. I have taught all levels from preschool to college.
I enjoy the lightbulb coming on! I love to see students succeed and feel competent about the subject they are learning. I also enjoy getting to know the student as a person and figuring out how they learn.
