"I am a retired public school mathematics teacher. I taught mathematics for 33 years at the junior high/middle school level. I taught math 7, math 8, pre-algebra, and algebra I. I also substituted for 6 years at the school that I retired from and also worked for 2 years for NorthShoreClubZ Tutoring Agency. I have a BS in Math from UMASS Amherst and an MS in Math from Salem State University. I live in Saugus, Massachusetts and taught in the Beverly Public School System. I am familiar with differentiated instruction, the Mass State Frameworks, and students' IEPs. I am very patient and I am able to explain concepts so that you will understand them. I have taught many, many students over the last 40 years and realize that each student has his or her own learning style." less...
