I really enjoy working with children and have done so in many different capacities. I believe in learning through participation and repetition. I am laid back, but persistent.I feel that a child has to find their own style of learning and I am dedicated to helping them achieve that.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have over 25 years experience in education and have taught middle school through college mathematics. I enjoy helping students learn mathematics as well as other subjects. In math I prefer to assist with basic math through pre-calculus. I also enjoy history and economics and assisting with those subjects as well. I have worked with special needs students as well as students of diversity.
My philosophy of teaching has evolved from many years of teaching and administrative experience. As I reflect on my beliefs regarding teaching and learning, I find that my mission as an educator is threefold: • to promote positive learning; • to spark learner enthusiasm for learning; • and to provide a strong foundation for lifelong learning. To accomplish this, I enjoy applying a wide variety of strategies based on essential educational principles encompassing a variety of learning styles, ... read more

I have a love of learning and teaching and it shows in my classes. I have tutored my 11 year old daughter in math for the last 3 years. This year we are doing pre-algebra. I believe in evaluating a student from what they know and then see if I can teach them any ways to shorten what they do or try to bring it up or down to their level of understanding. Each learner is different so your style must be flexible. I believe in celebrating our wins and exploring our opportunities. My goal is to get the learner to a level where they are confident and comfortable in the material that they are learning.
I have earned two degrees in business administration. I have 20 years of practical business experience to go with my education. I have a very good grasp of high school and college algebra, and business calculus. I have had to write a master's thesis as well as many papers throughout ... read more

I begin by establishing rapport with the student, and usually I prefer a lighthearted, encouraging style of interaction. I believe every student is capable of learning, but may not have been shown the strategies and skills that will best suit them. I like to help the student identify their learning style, and then teach using strategies that will coincide with that learning style. Often when the student has been taught some different strategies for learning, s/he is more capable of tackling new lessons without additional help. As a Peace Corps Volunteer in Costa Rica, I learned that our goal was to "work ourselves out of a job." That is always my goal as a teacher and tutor: to do my job so well that my services become unnecessary!
I have over 18 years experience as a teacher and a tutor, working with ages 5 through adult, both in the U.S. and in Central America. My areas ... read more
