Mathematics Education for Children, Parents,  and Teachers

"My specialty is in working with students who are non-standard learners and do not respond well to math instruction that is procedural and rote.  My approach is teaching from the concept first, letting students develop their own conceptual understanding so that the procedures flow naturally from their understanding. The result is a happy, confident student who is able to see the big picture and can then use the new knowledge in creative problem solving."
