...ability to make complicated topics understandable. My favorite area is standardized testing. I love the look on a student's face when they realize that they don't have to be nervous about an exam - that it can actually be really fun if the questions are viewed as the simple patterns they really are.

I now want to share the knowledge I have acquired over an education of 25 years to teach students and facilitate their learning.

I understand how important tests such as the ACT and SAT are to many students, and how confusing math can be at times. I want to help students to improve their performance in both these areas. When I teach, I focus on concepts and understanding the larger picture. In addition, I advocate for practice and identifying patterns in problem...
