"I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics Education and am certified in Special Education, ESL, Middle Grades Math, and EC-6. With over 20 years of teaching experience, I’ve worked with students ranging in age from 4 to 40 in both classroom settings and one-on-one instruction. I specialize in making math realistic, accessible, and even enjoyable—focusing on helping students find the “tricks” and strategies that make complex concepts click. Whether it’s foundational math skills, test prep, or targeted support for learning differences, I meet students where they are and build their confidence from there.

Currently, I serve as a Special Education teacher, where I tailor instruction to meet individual learning needs and ensure students feel supported and successful. I bring a calm, encouraging presence and a practical approach that helps learners grasp tough concepts while gaining real-life problem-solving skills. My goal is to make students feel capable, heard, and empowered—because when learning feels manageable, progress follows naturally." less...
