I have successfully taught math and other subjects for grades 4-12. I am a certified teacher in Washington state and have worked for schools in Ohio, California, and Washington. I am most experienced with teaching middle school and high school level math. I have been widely regarded as an excellent math teacher by former students and parents. I have also has tutored numerous students in math. Several references will attest to my strong teaching abilities and the overall success as a teacher.
Degrees: Bachelor's from Franciscan University, 2000. Master's from Gonzaga University, 2008.
About Teaching Math: Many people remember learning math as simply memorizing the rules, algorithms, and processes that were required to get the right answer. This is not what math should be about. I want my students to truly learn concepts and understand why math works the way it does. That way, students can then apply their learning to real life situations.
I look forward to helping your child succeed in math and other subjects!
