Experience
I have been tutoring for 9 years. I work with students of all ages and ability levels! I've worked with traditional grade-school, high school, and college students. I've taught home-schooled students as a primary instructor and worked with students doing on-line coursework or in-class work. I currently teach 7th grade Math. I’ve taught at high schools on Kauai and middle school in Florida. I've worked as an adjunct Math instructor at Harrison College. I firmly believe that everyone can be good at Math, and I want my students to believe that as well! Confidence is a big factor in Mathematics. I work with students on problem-solving and critical thinking. I focus on creating deeper understanding of the material (the WHY). I also use color to emphasize the patterns in Mathematics. I am good at what I do! I've had multiple students ace tests after just three or four tutoring sessions!! I got a 750 on the Math portion of my SAT. I am trained in Singapore Mathematics and am happy to discuss using this curriculum with your child!

Hobbies
I am not the typical Math tutor and I've been told that many times. But, it works in our advantage! I can relate to students well. I'm very laid back and students enjoy the session! I was an Art minor in college. So, I can give alternate explanations of material and work well with different learning styles and interests.
