Gumdrop Geometry

I began teaching in 1978 by forcing my little brothers to "play school" during summer breaks. I began my paid teaching career in 1991 by teaching at a public high school in Michigan. In my over 30 years of experience teaching, I have also taught at a community college, homeschool co-ops, an alternative school, and a virtual online school.  I retired from teaching high school math at a public high school in 2018. Now, I enjoy being home to homeschool my son, play with my grandchildren, and teach students online from all over the world.

I graduated from Western Michigan University in 1992 with a degree in Mathematics, History, and Education. In 2005, I earned a Master's Degree in the Art of Teaching from Marygrove College in Detroit. I am certified to teach mathematics in the state of Michigan.

I believe that students learn by DOING! My class is a safe place to try, make mistakes, and try again. My classes I incorporate plenty opportunity for practice, and I provide meaningful individualized feedback for students. During class I encourage active participation from each student, and provide ways for shy students to participate in ways that make them feel comfortable. I will work with your student to help them be successful in math.

Please message me if I can help you meet your math educational goals.
