Award-Winning Trigonometry Tutors serving Smithtown, NY

...I'm a transplanted New Yorker living in Oregon while finishing graduate school. I was a special education student in a Montessori school until middle school, then "mainstreamed" by the beginning of high school. I attended Ithaca College, a small private college, for undergrad, and Oregon State, a large public university, for my graduate work. Taken together, this has given me a healthy appreciation for the variety of student experiences in the education system. I feel...

...where students start to see how abstract ideas connect to real-world scenarios. My teaching philosophy is centered around exposure to diverse topics, methods, and ideas that encourage students to take intellectual risks and step out of their comfort zones.

I ask students...

I firmly believe that every child is entitled...
