I am an avid reader; my favorite genres are science fiction and historical fiction. I love hiking, alone or with family and friends. I have been a long-time contemporary/modern dancer and currently enjoy yoga. I also play acoustic guitar and sing.

I am an avid crafter. In particular, glassblowing--scorching! thrilling! gorgeous!--will always be the love of my life. I also love the calm meditation of making ceramics. Give me a pottery wheel, and I could stay there all day. In fact, every craft has its charms--I also love jewelry-making, knitting, crocheting, sewing, origami, polymer clay, welding, woodworking, and so much more.

I am very familiar with several other mathematics subjects and I am more than willing to expand my teaching experience by working with students in subjects that I have not yet had the opportunity to tutor.

As does Vergil; in college, I carried extra credits and after college had private...More
