"I have always loved math, and understood why others despise it. My father programmed computers, my mother programmed students as a math teacher. They taught me well and inspired within me a love of learning. The eldest of four spanned over seven years, I was helping my siblings with their homework starting in elementary school. I have graduated from UMBC with a B.S. in mathematics, and am currently teaching at Meade High School. I have tutored college students through the university for calculus and precalculus. I know the difference between doing work for a student and actually helping someone learn difficult material. I worked at Mathnasium for two years. I have thousands of hours of experience teaching math of all levels. I feel best when I see eyes light up with understanding, and I strive to make that happen every day." less...
