I am a 30+ year math teacher and author of I Hate Math who helps students turn confusing problems into achievable small steps.
If you struggle with math, or if you're doing well but want to reach higher goals, I can help. I love seeing students' confidence increase as their math stress decreases. I am the author of I Hate Math: Engaging Lessons & Activities to Help Kids and Teens Love Math, a book written to help parents and teachers make math meaningful and approachable.
I graduated from Virginia Tech with a BS in Math. I taught Pre-Algebra through Calculus at high schools in NC, TN, and MA. I was awarded a summer position at Eastman Chemical Company, where teachers learned real-world applications of mathematics. I also received a national teaching award from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
In addition to classroom teaching, I have taught students of all ages through homeschool classes, group courses, and individual tutoring.
Each year I direct a large Pi Day Party that helps students experience the creative and enjoyable side of math while strengthening their critical thinking skills.
I enjoy helping students improve their math skills and confidence. My goal is to help students succeed not only in their grades but also in how they approach challenges.
