"My primary background is in mathematics. I have a BS and master's in mathematics and mathematics education. I have taught elementary, middle and high school mathematics for over 20 years, and have had great success helping students "get" math by using a variety of methods and explanations. I am patient and a great teacher. I also worked as an adjunct professor, training the next generation of teachers. I spent a year in China and a summer in Japan teaching ESL, and have also taught ESL domestically. I love working with people from around the world as well. I have also taught K - 7 English and Language Arts, K - 6 Science and Social Studies, STEM and High School Biology. I am proficient in French up through high school as well." less...
