Fun Facts
I have a husband, two children, and a dog. I love school, but also spend time reading, knitting, and creating stained glass art. I enjoy teaching craft classes at local libraries.
About Me
I attended community college and a larger university. I have a degree in Mathematics.
Experience
I am a math teacher at a local high school in Bridgeport, CT. I have been a private tutor for years, and love connecting with students to open their eyes to new and easier learning and studying techniques.
Approach
As a child, I started school young and skipped a grade, so I was always much younger than my classmates. Because of this, I had confidence problems in school. I teach my students content first, and how to be confident second. I do not want any of them to feel like they cannot be successful.
