My hobbies are playing the piano, hiking, reading, bridge and bowling (yes, bowling!). I enjoy talking about anything and will often make stuff up just to keep the conversation going. I started tutoring back in the 90's in a program called Start Making A Reader Today (SMART). I found some computer programs that did alphabet and word recognition with animation. I also worked in an after school tutoring program for high school students. It was a melding of tutoring and mentoring, trying to get some at-risk students into college by improving their grades. I like math and physics, so much so that I tried to teach myself string theory. No luck there, it is a much harder nut than you might think.
