"I'm a 20-year veteran math teacher. I earned my degree in math from the University of Connecticut, where I also minored in American History. I've also completed graduate coursework at Wesleyan University, mostly in mathematics, statistics, and general science. I've taught math in independent and public schools, from grades K-adult. I've tutored children as young as kindergarteners, supported high school students in math and writing, and have proofread, edited, and written for business and television.

I am an effective teacher because I meet my students where they are, and help them get to where they want to go. I love finding ways to help learners understand challenging topics.

When the weather allows, I spend almost every weekend kayaking, hiking, or fishing somewhere around Connecticut. I also enjoy reading, sometimes getting trapped in a book I really enjoy! I write short stories in my spare time when I have some time to myself. I also care for a very fluffy cat named Max, a crazy dog named Chance, and a tiny turtle named Technoblade." less...
