Class Experience

Coordinate geometry is one of the most important and exciting ideas of mathematics.  Any location on earth can be located by a point with two coordinate values on a two-dimensional grid. GPS systems use coordinates to find our position and the position of our destination.  A two-dimensional grid representing a room with two coordinate values can help determine where to place a piece of furniture in a room.

In this fun and exciting class, a student's knowledge of plotting and graphing points on a coordinate plane will increase.  Basic plotting and graphing points on a coordinate plane are needed before taking this class.  I offer a class, Geometry Made Fun: "Points on a Coordinate Plane,"  that teaches the basic skills needed to take this class.  

The entire fifty-five minutes of class time will be spent plotting and connecting points to create a picture(s).  These picture(s) will be created on the coordinate plane.  Students will be able to create one or more pictures ranging from easy to difficult.  

I am a retired attorney as well as a former high school geometry teacher.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have a passion for teaching and tutoring children.  I want my students to have an enjoyable learning experience. I love to read nonfiction books on other cultures, historical events, and characters.  Also, math has always been a dear friend.  In college, I took and did well in college algebra, finite math, calculus, probability, and statistics.

I am a retired Attorney.  I practiced law for over 20 years. Also, I am a former high school geometry teacher. After retirement, for the past 5 years, I have been substitute teaching in both Missouri and Kansas.  I have had many job duties but to cap a few:  I have taught/tutored special education students (Down Syndrown, ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, etc.) with IEP's in all their core subjects. I have taught and tutored over 120 high school students in geometry.

I hold a Bachelor's degree from the University of Missouri in Business Administration/Marketing and a Juris Doctorate Degree in Law from the University of Maryland, Substitute Certificates from both Missouri and Kansas and I am a member of ACTP (Association for the Coaching and Tutoring Professional.

I love children and animals.  I love to cook, dine out and travel. I have three adult children, four almost five grandchildren, two dogs Weasel (Yorkie) and Benji (Schnese).
