I am a Texas-certified math teacher with 20 years of experience teaching mathematics at the middle and high school levels. Most of my career was spent teaching in public high schools, with additional experience teaching middle and high school mathematics in private schools.
My goal as a tutor goes beyond helping students get the right answer. I want students to understand why the mathematics works, develop effective problem-solving skills, and gain confidence in their own ability to learn math.
Throughout my teaching career, I helped students prepare for and succeed on Texas assessments, including the Algebra I End-of-Course Exam and STAAR. I was also selected by my school district to help write the Algebra I curriculum used across the district's schools. This experience gave me a strong understanding of both the mathematics students need to learn and the common challenges that can prevent them from mastering it.
Now retired from classroom teaching, I continue to be passionate about working with students. I enjoy identifying the specific concepts that are causing a student difficulty, explaining them in ways that make sense to that individual student, and then building the skills and confidence necessary for continued success.
