"I am a certified math teacher and experienced tutor, with previous work experience at Fairfax County Public Schools and Potomac Crescent Waldorf School in VA; Wheaton, Warrenville, and Carol Stream schools in IL; and 20 years of home-schooling. I'm a mother of five, who loves children and whose greatest joy is working one-on-one with people to help them realize their full potential. I have a BA (magna cum laude) in elementary education and have recently taken nursing pre-requisites (4.0 GPA) as well. I have over 25 combined years of teaching public school math, tutoring mostly middle and high school students, and teaching my own children. I've been told that I am patient, creative and good at explaining concepts. Other teaching-related jobs I've had include substitute teaching (many ages and subjects), Sunday school teaching, therapy for a boy with autism, and helping with vacation Bible clubs both in the U.S. and the U.K.

I have called the Washington, D.C. area "home" for over ten years, and previously lived in California, Nigeria, Illinois, Great Britain, Israel and Jordan. I have appreciated all the states and countries that have hosted me, and I continue to enjoy meeting people from around the world. That's one of the aspects of metro D.C. that I value the most! Other interests of mine (besides math, teaching and travel) include music (especially choral singing), reading (aloud to my family and by myself), spending time outside on walks or playing Frisbee, and visiting my far-flung family.

I look forward to meeting your student." less...
