I have taught and tutored math for over 20 years at a range of levels and diverse learning abilities, including 13 years teaching online. My master’s degrees and state teaching certificates are in Secondary Mathematics Education, Education of the Academically Gifted, and Adult Education. I have been recognized by the Mathematical Association of America and received their Sliffe Award for Distinguished Mathematics Teaching. My teaching philosophy is to meet students where they are in their understanding and empower them with skills to build the future they desire. Improving executive function skills (such as time and energy management) is intertwined with my teaching of math skills.
