"I am an experienced educator with a heart to see all kids learn math. I am always seeking creative ways to introduce complex concepts ensuring that students with differing abilities can access math and feel successful.

As a young student, math was always overwhelming and frustrating for me. A gifted and patient teacher took the time to tutor me, which inspired me to pursue a career in education. For this reason, I love teaching math to students who struggle, and I have a desire to find unique strategies to ensure that all students can learn math and even have fun in the process!

I possess a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential with a Math Supplemental Authorization. I have experience teaching math in a variety of settings. For over 20 years, I have taught in both public and private schools. Currently, I teach Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 and Pre-Calculus to homeschool students in person and online. I also work as a private math tutor where I help students with their homework and test prep. Additionally, I homeschooled my children from kindergarten through high school and therefore have experience teaching and assisting students with all subjects.

One of my areas of expertise is finding the gaps or holes in a student's understanding and introducing a variety of methods to help the abstract concept become more concrete. In addition, I have 10 year’s experience teaching problem solving using the Singapore math teaching methodology." less...
