About
I have been teaching math for more than 20 years now. I have a way of reaching students and helping them understand difficult concepts that they struggle with. I convert math haters to students who think math is ok. I help remove a student's fear and dislike of math. I love teaching.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I generally assess a students weaknesses and work on those. Then also work on their current assignments as well so they don't fall behind at school.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Mathematics Education. I graduated magma cum laude with a Master's Degree in Instruction and Curriculum.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
How did you get started teaching?
I have always been a teacher. I used to help other students learn while in elementary school. I have just always had a way of being able to explain things. I enjoy teaching people new things and helping others understand new concepts.
What types of students have you worked with?
I prefer 3rd grade and higher for the age group. But I have worked with multinational students, students with learning disabilities and students who just don't want to learn. I think getting through to the ones that just don't want to do it are my favorites though. The one's who think they can't and I show them they can. I boost their confidence in themselves. It is priceless to me.
