I graduated and received my Master of Arts in Education with a focus on Special Education. After gathering the proper licenses and endorsements, I began teaching math to the general population of students and to students with special needs. I have worked both in online and physical classroom settings. I've been teaching and tutoring for over 15 years and counting. The students that I taught ranged from grade level students in Mathematics to high school level students in Algebra and Geometry. I enjoy helping students achieve to their fullest potential. I enjoy using different strategies to match individual learning styles. I especially enjoy helping students to make connections between what they're learning and their experiences. I have learned that both student and I are on a journey together in becoming life-long learners because with each new student, I learn also! From the student, I learn about new ways to teach and communicate. We should never stop learning. My favorite subject to teach/tutor is Algebra 1 because it is more fun for me to connect the concepts to everyday living. In my leisure, I enjoy reading books or watching movies. I also enjoy roller skating.

When I'm not teaching, I enjoy working puzzles and using Photoshop to create new images.
