I taught in Illinois for seven years and have recently relocated to Phoenix. I primarily taught high school. The courses taught and number of times taught are in the list below. I meet the requirements for "Highly Qualified" in Mathematics.

I hold a Bachelors of Science in Mathematics (physics minor), and am able to present material via a variety of formats and approaches. If I see that you are not "getting it" one way, I'll approach the concept from a different angle. I am generally quite patient and will work with anyone that has the desire to learn. However, I am NOT willing to waste my time and your money if the student isn't willing to put the effort into learning.

Courses taught:
Pre-Algebra - 3 years
Algebra 1 - 4 years
Geometry - 2 years
Algebra 2 - 2 years
Pre-calculus - 2 years
Statistics - 1 semester
Physics - 1 year (college prep)
Physics - 1 year (tech prep/minimal mathematics/conceptual)
Junior high math - 3 years
Junior High Social Studies - 1 year
Computers ranging from introductory junior high to professional development for adults

I have a very broad knowledge and experience base and can assist with other areas as well.

I do require that a parent or guardian be present if the student is under 18 years of age. I have also received my fingerprint clearance card.

With my current teaching schedule, I am only available on weekends. If a weekend only schedule will work for you, I am available.

Study Skills

As an experienced teacher, I have helped many students develop strategies that help them learn. In addition, I developed many such skills while I was going through school as a student. So, I can approach it from both ends, the teacher and the learner.
