"All my life I wanted to teach. When I was little, I used to play a board game called "Go To the Head of the Class" with the other neighborhood kids.

Now she can do the four operations on fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, geometry, and she greatly improved her spelling and proofreading skills. Care, concern, ability, understanding, patience and success are the qualities I can bring to you.

I have taken numerous math classes in order to be qualified to teach college level science classes. I have taken college math classes up to and including differential equations.

I have recently been tutoring elementary math including the new Singapore Math that many school are now using. Geometry was my favorite subject in HS and I can explain topics so that they are easily understood
