Experience
I've taught mathematics for more than four decades at the high school, community college, and university levels.
Today, I serve as Professor of Mathematics at Sandhills Community College in Pinehurst, North Carolina.
My educational background includes:
Bachelor of Science in Statistics
Master of Science in Applied Mathematics
Master of Education in Mathematics Education
As an applied mathematician, I believe mathematics should be practical, meaningful, and connected to the real world.
What You Can Expect
When your child works with me, you can expect:
Individualized instruction
Clear explanations that build understanding
A patient, encouraging learning environment
Strategies that help students become independent learners
Honest communication with parents
Whether your child needs help preparing for an upcoming test, catching up after falling behind, or building a stronger mathematical foundation, my goal is always the same:
To help every student become a confident mathematical thinker.
Because understanding lasts longer than memorization.
Hello!
Mathematics isn’t meant to be memorized.
It’s meant to be understood.
For more than 40 years, I've helped students discover that mathematics really can make sense.
Whether your child is building number sense, preparing for Algebra I, tackling AP Precalculus, or succeeding in a college mathematics course, my goal is always the same:
Help students understand mathematics,
not simply memorize procedures.
When students understand why mathematics works, they become confident, independent problem solvers.
Because understanding lasts longer than memorization.
My Philosophy
Every student learns differently.
Some need help preparing for tomorrow's quiz.
Others need to rebuild the mathematical foundation that school never gave them.
Rather than teaching students shortcuts to memorize, I teach them how to recognize patterns, think logically, and solve problems with confidence.
Those skills stay with them long after a test is over.
