I am a retired high school math and physics teacher. I received my Bachelor of Science from the University of Michigan and my Masters in Math Education from Western Michigan University. I have over 30 years of experience in teaching a variety of classes both in person and online, and many years of tutoring students beyond the classroom. I have a strong passion for any kind of mathematics and physics, and also for helping students in these subjects. I believe knowledge is power. I also believe the skills used to do math and science are important to understanding the world in many areas; for example, weather, economy, household repairs and finances, statistics used in the news, your healthcare, etc. I believe all students can learn in the right circumstances. I am excited about helping students who have a desire for self improvement. If a students wants to do better, I will find a way to help them make that happen. I am compassionate and understanding, accepting of all types of people, patient and kind. These are my values and I honor them in all areas of my life.
