"My name is Denise, my friends call me Neesey! I have 4 kids of my own so I am always teaching and coaching. I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Biochemistry and a minor in Sociology from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. I did this while playing 3 sports (soccer, basketball, and lacrosse) in college. I am very used to juggling many things at once and am a multi-faceted person. In addition to helping my kids succeed in school, I am also a cake decorator and a financial coach.

My original dream was to work for the FBI, but because of my athletic background, I have always felt most comfortable being a coach in some fashion. I was a high school softball coach for many years and now I am a financial coach. I am an investment advisor representative and have many financial licenses including a Series 6, 63, 26 and 65. I have been coaching and teaching high school students and younger since I was 16 years old. I have been a private homeschool teacher for the past 5 years. The students I teach started in 5th and 6th grade and are now currently in 9th and 10th grade. They were both struggling in the traditional classroom environment and are now thriving under my teaching. I would like to continue doing this work and helping other students reach their full potential in any subject.

Math and Science are obviously my strong suits or I wouldn't have gone into the Biochemistry field. However, I have been teaching every subject on the Middle School and High School level. The best thing about teaching for me is to see when a student has that "a ha moment". I like to make learning fun and relate things students are struggling with to things that students love. Micro assignments and little victories can add up to achieving the big picture!" less...
