About Me
I received my 4-year Bachelor's of Education in 1991 from the University of Manitoba (Canada), with a major in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I have been teaching high school math and science for the last 34 years. I have taught Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and all levels of Math (excluding Calculus).
In 2009, I received the Excellence in Teaching Award from the University of Manitoba for my contribution to the "Advancement of Teaching and Learning".
Experience
I have been springs">tutoring consistently for the last 12 years: Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. I tailor and implement engaging lessons that maximize student learning opportunities. I am currently semi-retired and hope to springs">tutor for several more years, as I enjoy helping students succeed in math and science.
