TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught in a middle school/high school setting for twenty years. I have taught everything from 7th grade math to Calculus. I have also been a part of many regional projects through our Intermediate School District. I am currently beginning my third year of teaching AP Calculus AB and am looking forward to another successful year.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I really enjoy letting the students investigate and explore as much as possible so that they can make their own connections.
