Without the basics understood thoroughly, it would be impossible to move to the next building block in mastering a subject.

As a graduate of the University of Miami and former US Air Force officer, I am very excited to help students learn and excel in the math and science courses.

I teach with the belief that all students can and will learn if given the proper tools and motivation. I am sensitive to my students’ individual circumstances and needs, and I use my education and experience to teach my students in a way that makes information relevant to them. I believe it is important for our students to be able to relate what they learn in the classroom to the real world. If we make education relevant, students are more likely to remember what they have learned long after the grade has been given. My goal is to teach students how to think and how to organize information in a way that makes sense to them.
