I've been teaching and tutoring for over 20 years. I've worked with students with many types of learning styles and in a variety of subjects. I've created curriculums that align. with. state standards for Middle school math, Pre-algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Forensic Science, Physical Science, Life Science, Earth Science, Biology, and Chemistry. I also enjoy teaching a class called Practical Math. I can't imagine my life without the joy I get from interacting with students and parents.
