With over 15 years of teaching experience, I bring a deep passion for mathematics and a commitment to helping students succeed. My journey as an educator spans high schools and universities, including the University of Dallas, University of North Texas, and Dallas & Tarrant Community Colleges. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business with a minor in Mathematics and a Master’s degree in Pure Mathematics and Accounting. Additionally, I am certified in AP Calculus AB and BC and hold a Texas state certification in high school mathematics and natural sciences. Currently, I tutor students remotely through Varsity Tutors, guiding learners in mastering challenging concepts and building confidence in their abilities.

As a semi-retired educator in my 70s, I approach teaching with patience, clarity, and a genuine love for the subject. My classroom and tutoring sessions are designed to be highly organized, reflecting my dedication to clear and effective instruction. Outside the classroom, I’ve shared my passion for mathematics through a blog that explores “Proof Without Words,” a visual approach to mathematical proofs celebrated for its clarity and elegance. You can explore this work here: https://modern-abstract-algebra.blogspot.com/.

Whether working with high school or college-aged students, I aim to create a supportive learning environment that inspires curiosity and fosters a deeper understanding of math. My experience with both in-person and online teaching has equipped me to adapt to diverse learning needs and styles. If you’re looking for a dedicated, patient, and experienced tutor to help you achieve your math goals, I’d be delighted to assist you on your journey.
