About Me
Good afternoon, I am 64 years old and have been infatuated with Math since I was a child. It always came easy for me when I was in school and so, even as a middle school student, I was already finding great satisfaction in helping others understand "the language of MATH". I have had several Math instructors throughout my life and the ones that made Math enjoyable stand out in a positive light and the ones who said Math should be taught and learned in one direction only - did not - well they stood out, but not in a positive way.
I am always looking for even more ways to accomplish this goal. Having been a education/florida/palm-bay">Special Education instructor for 15 years helped me to even hone this concept to a higher level. I sincerely believe that everyone is capable of mastering "the language of Math" and it is my joy and privilege to lead them on this journey.

People learn in different ways, so it only stands to reason that we should teach Math in diverse ways. Some of us are visual learners, so let's teach them with visual cues etc.
Discovering the student's mode of learning is absolutely crucial to his/her success. Sometimes we need to show several options for solving a solution to a Math problem and all
