I love showing people how math can be easy and fun! It's a well-kept secret. So, if you aren't sure how to do something, we'll patiently and playfully, take it step-by-step and see how math is part of the wonderful world around us. I find that we learn best when we're curious. So, we'll find low-pressure ways to help you succeed that work with your learning style.

After graduating with an engineering Bachelor's (2008) and Master's degree (2010), I found that my love is teaching others. Now, for more than a decade, I've tutored middle school, high school, college students, and adults in math and science. Recently (2019-2020) I taught engineering at UNCA in Asheville, NC as an Adjunct Faculty in the Mechatronics program. And, simultaneously have been teaching home-school students in the area Algebra I and II, trigonometry, and geometry. With any student I work with, no matter their level, I find it's the type of attention they need that's most important in helping them succeed. I try to bring that presence, attention, and commitment to all of my students. Going at their pace and collaborating to make it fun, are key elements I bring to tutoring.

Algebra 1 and 2 and Trigonometry are foundational parts of engineering. We use them every day. Alongside tutoring, I spent 15 years working in the Aerospace industry for NASA and other companies that fly spacecraft. I enjoy sharing the inspiring aspects of math with all generations. And, I especially enjoy bringing students up to speed who may feel behind or confused - I believe patience and understanding go a long way in teaching the basic skills we need to get through life!

Physics is part of everything we do in Aerospace, from launching rockets to planning a spacecraft's trip to the moon. There are statics, mechanics, electrodynamics, and so many basic forces that construct our universe. I'm versed in many of them and enjoy teaching physics to others.
