My strong interest in helping students achieve understanding in the different levels of math began when I saw students struggling at a young age. I received a Masters in Teaching and began 15+ years of tutoring Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2 and PreCalculus in a one on one setting. I feel that it is extremely important for the student not only to understand the concepts of what they are learning but also to apply it to the world around us. When I'm not working with students I enjoy spending time learning new teaching techniques as well as gardening, walking, running and traveling.
