Hi, I’m Dee.

Hi, I’m Dee. I graduated from Ohio State with both a BS in Computer Science from the College of Engineering and an MS in Mathematics, but I have a wide variety of interests from languages to skiing to Jazz.

There are some students who believe that math is useless, but I see math all around us, I know why we need to learn it, and I’m passionate about showing others why they should care too. I believe that every student assigned to a math class has the ability to succeed in math if they have the right teacher and motivation. I also believe that students with ADHD are some of the most creative and interesting people I know. Every student is unique, with different strengths and weaknesses, so each requires his/her own approach. That’s why I usually prefer a Socratic method; the habit of asking questions not only helps keep a student engaged in the exact topic they need to master, but also assists the student long after the teacher is out of the picture.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I do ask for cancellations to be made 12 hours ahead or I will have to charge a cancelation fee. I look forward to meeting you!
