Retired Teacher Tutor
About
I am a retired middle school math teacher with 25+ years experience. I love teaching new concepts to students and make connections with what they already know. I like to make learning fun and exciting using many tools to do so. Over the years I have learned many ways to teach math concepts and if one way doesn't make sense I try a different approach. I know everyone can learn math and it just takes practice and repition. I know I can teach you math and you will have fun in the process.
I love making connections with students and then teaching them. I love helping them get confidence in themselves and having success
