I specialize in math. We all use math in everyday life to one degree or another, whether you realize it or not. If math is scary for you, I can help you find and conquer your inner math demons.
In addition to math, I work with students on other subjects, including science, science research projects, and essay writing.

MATHCOUNTS
MATHCOUNTS is a national middle school mathematics program designed to promote mathematics competency through school clubs and competitions. Competition and practice problems are written to align with the NCTM standards for grades 6-8. Besides providing a framework and materials for schools to set up their own math clubs and run school competitions, the MATHCOUNTS Foundation has additional resources for honing math competency (click on the Resources tab):
- Set a reminder to check out the Problem of the Week and stay on your competitive math toes.
- Need a more organized approach to honing your math skills? Check out the Practice Plans.
- The School Handbook – published annually, the school handbook contains 200+ problems to help student teams train for competition. School competition team coaches provide copies to their team members. Individuals need to provide some basic information to receive a PDF copy of the School Handbook by email.
- For a guiding hand, Minis are short videos explaining concepts to help you with problem solving. Each video has an activity sheet and solutions. To find the Minis, Click on Video Library under Resources, and scroll down to All Videos. Click the Choose a Category drop down menu, then click MATHCOUNTS Minis and the Apply button.
