"I learned to love math because of interactions with a teacher that made it so plain to me. Now I have that passion and charisma to help students understand that given the proper learning tools and environment, they too can meet their goals in mathematics.

I hold a Master of Science in Secondary Mathematics Education from Mississippi State University (MSU) and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics from the University of Southern Mississippi (USM). I have taught in the public and private sectors for over 20 years. My students always improve significantly. I have helped students improve their academic scores and standardized testing scores. Some have gone on to college with full academic or ACT scholarships. I tutor middle school math, pre-algebra, algebra 1, algebra 2, and ACT/SAT math.

I enjoy helping students build their confidence. Seeing the light come on in their eyes or hearing understanding in their voices makes all my efforts worth it. Helping my students understand that they possess the ability to succeed in mathematics is what keeps me coming back to help students even though I am technically retired." less...
