"I am a credentialed math and statistics teacher, with a Masters degree in Math Education and a Bachelors degree in Statistics. I have 13 years combined experience teaching students in grades 6-12, as well as adults in college settings. I also homeschool my five children, from their infancy through highschool. So I am experienced in teaching math across all ages. I have been tutoring with Wyzant for four years.

Tutoring is rewarding because it allows me to use my teaching talents and skills in a one-on-one relationship to help my students achieve their goals. I am blessed when my students can move past their struggles and find success in their math studies.

Over the years, I have learned to use a variety of methods to help my students. I use manipulatives with younger students to help them develop understanding of foundational concepts. This has become even more important with the methodology used in the California Common Core Curriculum. I also use methods to help identify right-brain learners and then assist them with alternative teaching methods. With all students, I use pictures and analogies to help students attach math concepts to knowledge and understanding they already possess. This develops brain connections that increase retention and higher level thought processes.

Do you want to finally achieve success in mathematics and statistics? Let's get moving on that path." less...
