Experience Summary
While receiving my bachelor degree from SIUE, I tutored local grade school, high school, and college students. After graduating from SIUE with a degree in Secondary Mathematics Education, I was employed by Central Community High School for 11 years as a mathematics teacher. I have since received my masters degree in Computational Mathematics. I am currently teaching at Lewis and Clark Community College as an adjunct instructor. I have taught all levels of mathematics courses, including geometry, trigonometry, calculus, statistics, as well as all levels of algegra.
Teaching Style
I believe that all students can find success in mathematics. I truly have a gift at teaching mathematics. Many students who have never found success at understanding mathematics, have always found success in my class. This is because I have a very traditional style of teaching that is enjoyed and favored by my students and parents. I believe students best understand mathematics by learning with a step by step approach, but I also firmly believe that students best understand mathematics by being more confident with their skills. This is why I also work on raising the confidence of all of my students in the area of mathematics ... this approach can make a world of a difference!
