Bio
Hello Everyone! I'd love to help you with fract/dec/%, equations, problem-solving, number sense, coord graphing, pre-alg, etc. For over 20 years, I have taught 5th - 8th graders in math and tutored 4th - 9th grade. I have my Master's Degree from UW-Oshkosh, I live in Texas, and I have two dogs. What I like most about math is that there are many ways to get an answer. My students always said that I have excellent ways of explaining things to make sense and telling or showing how to do different processes so they remember. Oddly, I struggled with math in my school days, but I can now understand students' struggles and get them to that "a-ha!" moment, whether we are in person or online. When I'm not working, I play with my two dogs (German Shorthair Pointers). I also design cabinetry (kitchen remodeling), which uses more math than I ever imagined. Math is everywhere! I'm excited to meet you and work with you. Please check my session availability. I often work days with districts.
