Thank you for your kind words. I love my students, most of them work really hard for me every day, a few are a bit more challenging. I have kids who just have trouble with math, some with ADD/ADHD, some on the autism spectrum, some with emotional disabilities, and sometimes kids with vision or hearing difficulties. I always treat them with respect and we try to laugh and have a good time while learning our algebra and geometry. I am also lucky to work with a great group of regular and special ed teachers.

Keep warm!
