As a child, I found math challenging. I had a great teacher whose patience helped me excel at math. I believe that math and reading are accessible to everyone. My job is to find creative ways to present ideas to students to help them see how concepts apply to their lives. Each person learns differently, and I have found that patience and listening are the keys to uncovering a person's learning style. My goal is to take the fear out of learning and present kids and adults with tools so that they will succeed! Everyone can learn, given the right tools. I also believe that consistency is a key to learning. I help students to spend just a little time each day to develop consistent study habits and prevent stress. I also help people reduce test anxiety by teaching kids some test-taking techniques.
