After earning my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Sacred Heart Unviersity, I taught at the secondary level for 25 years. During that time, I returned to the classroom but this time as a student. I received a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Gonzaga University. These degrees certainly strengthened my knowledge in the subject matter but I learned how to teach and tutor from actually instructing students. They were my best teachers since they affirmed for me what methods were working or not. As a visual learner myself, I utilize pictures and drawings to make abstract concepts more concrete. In addtiiton, I create many examples and have students look for patterns and then make generalizations based on their observations. This is why I enjoy helping students in Algebra the most since it is the foundation and bridge to all other mathematics beyond it.

Beyond the classroom, I enjoy exercise through running and biking. I have successfully completed 6 marathons finishng each in under my target time of 5 hours. Running 26.2 miles has taught me perseverance and determination which I try to convey to students in tutoring sessions . Rather than being frustrated and giving up when a problem is difficult, I encourage them to see it through to the end. If one method doesn't work, try another. Having a variety of options available to solve a problem, increases the chances for a solution. The journey is as important as, if not more important, than the destination.
