"Do you need help in math? I can help right now. My students are children, teens, adults, and elders, across nearly all demographics, including ESL. I bring an infectious enthusiasm for math, and I work hard to make math easy and comprehensible.
I will train you at your level to help you see math with fresh, new eyes. I will work with to understand what you do know, and what you don't.

I was also served as an employee at UAS as an adjunct professor of remedial mathematics.
In the past eight years, I taught at several charter schools in Los Angeles, while taking more education classes at the California State University (Dominguez Hills). Currently, I am a few credits shy of my teaching certificate. I look forward to achieving this and a Master's degree, even while I continue to hone my skills.
