"I have loved teaching for 24 years. I have specialized as a math teacher but have also directed theatre and coached football for several years. I still perform, singing and performing on guitar! I have 3 kids between 16-20yrs old, each with very different approaches to academics and styles of learning.

What I love most about the learning process is when students not only learn content but can begin to articulate their learning process, make choices about how they explore learning, and know their value in a learning environment. I look forward to helping you learn about both math and yourself!

I've been teaching AP Stats for over 15 years. I am the accuracy editor for a major AP Stats textbook and worked with College Board on the latest course redesign. In fact, if you search "AP Statistics Course and Exam Description", go to the document on the CB website and scroll down a couple of pages to "Acknowledgements," you will see my name listed. I was recruited for the project because of my teaching style and because my students did better on the AP Stats exam than they did compared to their other AP exams! I have never excluded any student from taking the course (although I will advise against, if appropriate) and they pass the exam at a rate of 85% (compared to 57% nationally). If you are here and coming to me, that means you are motivated. I'm confident you can succeed!

I have taught Algebra and Geometry to the most vulnerable students at the schools in which I have taught. Teaching these students, I've learned that not only must I be an expert on content but also on learning in general. I have adapted and developed many strategies and techniques supported by Mind-Brain-Education research and regularly attend conferences on learning. This year, I am serving as a group leader for the CTTL Summer Academy at St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, MD, directed by the authors of "Neuroteach."

I can help you pass. I can also help you learn how to learn so that you no longer need my or any other services. I'm inter" less...
