  I never thought that learning math should be boring....that is why I have a beach ball in my tutoring bag. When I work with students, we think bigger than what is on the paper but we still maintain the traditional mathematical concepts. I bring spirit and personality to my sessions so that students look forward to our time together. Mathletics is about stretching the mind to solve problems and exercising those brain cells beyond what students think possible. I taught math at Lake Highlands High School in Texas and I trained teachers from Texans Can! charter schools. While earning my Master's Degree, I performed education research on student outcomes and predictors of success. Ask me sometime; I know the #1 predictor of student success. I also taught in the Chapel Hill schools in NC. I always taught the most struggling students and thus, I had to SELL math to them. My style was outside-the-box but it worked - it involved art, movement, music and more. Show less
