Even though I have now retired from teaching full-time, I continue to work part-time as a tutor for elementary math students during the school year; plus, make time to travel and focus on my "creative" side!

Teaching style
My teaching style has always been about student-centered learning. I have always believed that students learn best through hands-on experiences that promote higher-level questioning and build strong problem-solving skills. My goal has always been about students being engaged and accountable for their learning.
