Experience
I have been teaching for over 23 years in math, science, social studies, Language Arts, ESOL, and Spanish. I have tutored extensively for the past six years, and have a great deal of experience in tutoring struggling math students. I have been able to connect with them, by making math easier to understand and by making the process fun. I have been a home-based tutor for Gwinnett County Public Schools and have helped numerous students re-gain confidence and competence in math. I really enjoy seeing the proverbial "light bulb" go off in my students' faces when they finally begin to understand what was once a very confusing subject. I have taken many math classes over the years, and truly enjoy teaching and tutoring in Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry.

Hobbies
I love to get students to excel in school activities, as well as in extra-curricular pursuits. I have coached an award-winning Science Olympiad team and a Math Counts team for a number of years. I have coached a National Championship Orienteering team for 8 years, and have encouraged three of my orienteers to try out, and subsequently get accepted to the Junior World Orienteering Championship team. Orienteering is a competitive map and compass sport.
