I am a retired teacher with twenty years of classroom experience. I taught in public schools as a Special Education Specialist for 15 years. Most of those years were in the subjects of English and Mathematics. I also have 5 years experience as a Common Core sixth grade teacher.
I have two children and two grandsons. Before working as a teacher, I served in the U.S. Navy for twenty years. I spent nearly 8 of those years stationed in Japan. In 2016 , I moved to South Korea and taught in an international school for four years.
Math was my favorite subject when I attended school, I started tutoring other students when I was in the ninth grade. I am well versed in multiple ways to help students grasp math concepts. I love seeing them experience ’Aha’ moments.
I eagerly look forward to helping you to achieve your goals.

very helpful

Merlin was very helpful. He put my ADHD son at ease so that they could have a good discussion about the material that he needed to review and study. He also helped him work on his overall study skills and the best way to approach the material.
