Experience Summary
After 16 years of high school classroom teaching experience in Missouri, I decided to pursue my doctorate in education at UK. I'm certified in secondary math grades 7-12 in both Missouri and Kentucky and have 4 years of college level teaching as well. I also taught the secondary Practicum for prospective math, science, social studies, and language arts teachers. I earned an educational specialist (ABD) from the University of Kentucky. Now I own a tutoring business and handle the business side of an art gallery for the creative side of my brain to have a little fun!
Teaching Style
My high school students have said that I'm completely focused on them, communicate very effectively and add humor whenever possible. You can check my ratings from students at www.ratemyteachers.com -- search for Marquette High School in Chesterfield, Missouri.
My Hobbies
Reading is my favorite hobby, but I also write (have a published medieval fantasy novel), draw, and play video games (Assassin's Creed is a favorite). I also ADORE traveling, particularly when my children, husband, and dogs can join me.
Other Comments
I went for my doctorate so I can help math teachers be more effective. Students are my focus; helping them gain an appreciation for mathematics is my primary goal. Students do much better when they have success and like the subject. It is my goal to provide both for students. gtownmath at gmail dot com for more info.
