2006 Colorado Association of Gifted and Talented Parent of the Year!
2008 Shades of Blue Educator & Teacher of the Year
I am a mathematician holding a BA in mathematics and an MS in applied mathematics. My desire is to encourage more kids to love math and to major in the mathematical sciences. Therefore, I am offering three services: Mathstronauts, Math Busters, and professional math tutoring. Mathstronauts offers enrichment classes and math and science camps for students who are fascinated by math and offers enrichment materials for teachers to offer their math-hungry students. Math Busters offers training for teachers, especially elementary teachers, to help them teach math and summer classes for students who need help. Should someone need one-on-one help in mathematics or in science, I am offering private tutoring in my home. I personally can tutor at all levels of mathematics, from basic math through undergraduate math courses. I also offer ACT, SAT I, and SAT II math prep. as well as prep. for Math Counts & AMC math competitions and for ISEE exams. Lastly, I have a minor in French and can tutor beginning and intermediate levels of high school French. My team can also tutor students in mathematics as well as in chemistry, physics, basic programming, French, and Russian.
| Subjects include:
|
Tutoring sessions are either held at my residence located in Centennial, where I have been serving clients from the general vicinity (Centennial, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, Aurora, Englewood, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, and southeast Denver) or at the MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts (serving Cambridge and Boston).
