I am bilingual since 1968 and taught Spanish Conversation to DES employees. I worked for DES for 15 years before retiring in 2004. I also taught math for the Urban Corps in East Harlem New York (el barrio según Tito).

I have taught math courses ranging from arithmetic to Calculus for the last 40 years. I started teaching in New York City and continued in Arizona since 1971.

I have an MA in Secondary Ed-Math plus 60 graduate credits toward an MA in applied Math. As an undergraduate I have a BA with a major in math and minor in physics.

I have about 20 college credits in Spanish, read several classic novels and developed a 9 week Spanish curriculum course for DES employees which they could get college credit for and I had 200 state employees on my waiting list. I lived with a Spanish speaking only family in 1968 and taught math in Spanish in South America.

My basic philosophy about teaching is that I be the instigator of my students to acquire ownership and pride in their math learning and the self confidence to continue motivating their success in any endeavor.

I also want them to acquire ownership and pride in their learning to speak, read, write and comprehend Spanish developing their self confidence in Spanish.

Very patient and hardworking tutor

Maddy went above and beyond when helping me study for the AP Calculus AB test, she not only helped me during the lesson but went out of her way to complete extra review before and after. Very glad to have found her!

Great tutor and able to connect with students needs.

It’s very hard for my daughter to be comfortable with a tutor. Maddy really helped her understand calculus and was very encouraging and patient. I highly recommend Maddy as she is a very capable and wonderful teacher.

Maddy checked to make sure I understood everything every step of the way and explained what I didn’t understand in different ways until I got it.

Great tutor !

Friendly, patient, loved she contacted my daughter after her lessons to make sure she was understood what they reviewed and learned. We’ll me using her tutoring thru the year. Made my daughter feel good even when she is struggling with Calculus. That’s when I realize she’s a good fit for an Honor students for 10 school years!
