As a passionate math educator with a Master's in Mathematics and Special Education from the University of Utah, I have dedicated over 30 years to both tutoring and classroom instruction across a wide range of math subjects, including Algebra, Calculus, and Geometry. My teaching philosophy centers on identifying and addressing the foundational skills that students may lack, enabling them to grasp complex concepts more effectively. I believe in fostering a supportive environment where students feel comfortable exploring their understanding through inquiry and problem-solving. My enthusiasm for math is contagious, and I strive to make learning engaging and relevant. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring mathematical theories and applying them in real-world scenarios, further enriching my tutoring sessions.
