I have a master's degree in mathematics and over a decade of in person classroom teaching. I also have a bachelor of science degree with over a years course work in both biology and chemistry. I have hands on experience in these fields from working in both biology and chemistry laboratory settings. I worked as administrator over a home school, teaching students from Kindergarten thru 12 grade, in math, science, and language arts and developing curricular materials. I have found from my teaching experiences that students learn best from active participation in the learning process, and are often encouraged with material that is practical and meaningful. My main goal in working with students who are having problems with a particular subject matter is to simplify the material as much as needed so that a student will get to the root of their difficulties and work from there to obtain a strong foundation of the subject material. I am not rigid in my approach. If a particular manner of subject presentation is not helping a student, I will use a different method to facilitate the learning process.
