My corporate and volunteer experience allows me to quickly share with students

how I have personally used mathematics "in the real world".

~~~ With parent permission, I will work with parent & school teacher in identifying

curriculum gaps that may exist since there are many vertical

connections in mathematics that spiral and build year after year.

Note: any communication with teacher will always have parent copied.

~~~ My goal is to get you to the point where you don't need me any more!

While the above photograph is my professional shot, I am happiest when wearing a t-shirt and my favorite Keens, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors with my family.

I am a firm believer that LIFE comes first, and want to help my students clear up their math issues so they can have more fun living life! It all goes by too quickly!
