"So often I find that students have been presented with steps and rules rather than the development of the why something works. Therefore, I take the time to develop concepts and understanding of the mathematics. I have tutored in the south Austin area for the past six years as well as provided instruction for home schooled students. I have taught the following elementary and secondary courses: 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th grade math, Algebra I, Pre-AP Algebra I, Geometry, Pre-AP Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-AP Algebra 2, Trigonometry, and Pre-Calculus. My degrees are from SFASU, B.S. in Math & English and TAMU, M.Ed. and Ph.D. in math education.

I have received the following awards relative to teaching excellence in mathematics: Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching-1988, UT Ex-Student's Association Texas Excellence Award for Outstanding High School Teachers-1989, Star Guiding Star Award-1993, and Spring ISD Distinguished Educator-2005-2008." less...
