For example, when going...

...while keeping the flexibility to stay home with my youngest who is not yet in pre-school. Having taught in a public school setting, I have had experience with students of all abilities and understand that each student is unique; and therefore each student may learn slightly differently than the one style of teaching that the classroom teacher primarily uses. I also understand that life circumstances play a huge role in a student's ability to learn...

...at my community College helping students with Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, and Statistics. I am also very comfortable tutoring Economics, History, and English as my college minor was Buisness Management and as a history major I have written and edited a great deal of essays and research papers.

I believe that helping a student master the material is key towards gaining the needed confidence. Outside of...

...try to help them relish in its systematic ways by using the tools that they already have. I have always pictured math as a toolbox. Each year in math, as students learn more concepts, they collect more tools to add to their own math toolbox. The more tools they collect, the easier it is for them to get the job done. Students can only use the tools, however, when they understand how they work. This...

Sharing what we know is the best way to get better.
