"I have a BA in Mathematics and an MSEd in Adolescent Education: Mathematics, as well as extra graduate coursework in Statistics. In addition, I hold permanent NY teaching certification for Mathematics in grades 7-12. I taught at the junior high/high school level for 5 years before moving to a community college where I have taught for 18 years. I have also tutored at many different levels from middle school through college, both in-person and online.

I feel that two of my strengths are making Math less scary for my students, and knowing how to break down the information in a way that is understandable. I often have college students who tell me at the end of the semester that they never thought they could be successful in Math until they took my class. I love helping students gain confidence in their Math skills.

Although I have not taught Math at the elementary level, I teach a two-semester sequence of Math classes for future elementary teachers, so I have become familiar with the elementary curriculum in that way." less...
