Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello! I have experience teaching middle and high school math and science.  My favorite courses to teach are enrichment courses in which I prepare your child for upcoming courses in Biology, Chemistry, and Math (Prealgebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra 1  and 2, and Precalculus).  As a college professor, I know what it takes to prepare your high school junior and seniors for AP exams and to develop study skills to excel.
