For over 15 years, I have helped family and friends with various math courses ranging from elementary school, middle school, high school, and some college. I find math tremendously fun and interesting, and I have a passion for creating a genuine understanding and a fun experience when a student is learning math. It can even be fun! Meeting the students where they are, building from there, and teaching according to their own learning styles has proven vitally important to success and building confidence. When a student starts to understand what has previously been difficult, there is such a sense of pride and accomplishment! Whether a sudden moment of understanding or a more gradual gaining of comprehension, that "Got it!" moment is something that I treasure every time. Currently, I homeschool my own children in all subjects, and I teach classes through our homeschool co-op.

When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, baking, playing board games, and doing logic puzzles.
