About me
Soon after graduating from Northeastern University School of Law in 1976 I moved to California and passed the California Bar Exam. I discovered that my passion was working with young people and went into teaching full-time.
Over the years in California, I have taught math at all levels from elementary through junior college. I have worked in private and public schools and tutored small groups and one-on-one. I have also been involved in professional development for middle school teachers of mental mathematics. I have been a presenter at math conferences in Northern and Southern California. In 1985, I began offering SAT preparation classes and tutoring. I offer techniques in math so that even average and below-average math students can be successful on difficult SAT questions. I also have much experience in preparing students for the verbal portion of the SAT. Along with SAT prep, I have worked with students for many other exams including ACT, GRE, teacher exams, nursing, real estate, engineering, and others.
My teach ing style is energetic, enthusiastic and fun. I try to instill in my student’s confidence and a positive attitude and supply them with techniques that can boost their scores. I lived in Rhode Island for two years, from 2004-2005. I was very happy to connect with Ivy Bound, where I found a company committed to hiring well-qualified instructors, which I did not find in other prep companies. I believe that the most important component in any educational experience is the teacher and hs or her ability to communicate in an interesting and easily understandable manner.
I currently live in Sacramento, CA but work with students nationwide via Zoom.
