Fun Facts

While in college I made many young friends, one of whom introduced me to his love of ceramics/pottery. I fell in love with it too and now I have a small studio behind my home and I participate in my local farmers market and craft shows to sell my craft. I use this for "therapy", getting messy like a child and creating something beautiful that I am proud of!!

About Me

When I was 21, I married my high school sweetheart and 6 years later we started our family. We now have 3 grown children. We live in far Northern Maine and luckily there is a College just 7 minutes away. That simply leads to me getting to do what I love to do, teach math!

Experience

I have taught in some capacity my whole life. From 18-38, I taught people with mental and physical disabilities. I taught them to do everything from simple daily skills to managing their money. At 38 I went back to school and became a teacher, certified in Maine!! I have a great passion for math and have taught or tutored it many times in the last 14 years.

Approach

I start by giving my trust and respect to each new student. I do that freely. Then we simply get to know each other. How I teach and how they learn. If we are the same already, wonderful. If not, it is my job to change, not the student's. I teach the way you learn.
