I am a professional engineer who graduated with honors from University of Kentucky's College of Engineering. I absolutely love and have a very strong background in math. I am tutoring elementary math, middle school math, pre-algebra and algebra. Algebra is probably my favorite math subject; although I also love working with kids of all ages.

I began teaching math during my sophomore year of college where I worked in a math program, Math Excel. It provided students with an additional 6 hours per week of instruction and practice working problems for their math classes.

After graduating from college, I worked as a structural engineer designing bridges for nine years. I decided to be a stay at home mom once I had my child. Over the last ten years I have tutored in all areas of math subjects through Calculus I. Several years ago, I worked for a company that was contracted to provide tutoring to at risk students identified by Fayette County Public Schools. To be able to take a student who has fallen behind in math and be able to teach them and watch them succeed is one of the most rewarding experiences I have had.

In teaching math, I believe students need to not only know how to do something but why they are doing it. I believe this is paramount in building a strong foundation for a student's future in all areas of math.

My other interests tend to be the same as my daughter's. We are very close and I am very active in all of her activities. In addition, I love all sports from football and basketball to swimming, diving and cheerleading. When time allows I enjoy escaping into a good thriller or mystery.
