Experience
* ONLINE TUTORING ONLY* * Learning should be fun! I love to teach students how to enjoy their learning and internalize its relevant value. * If it looks like my students are playing, it's because I am a great believer of facilitated learning, project-based learning, cooperative learning and educational materials usage. * I love to teach Mathematics; all levels including SAT/ACT Prep. Math is an exact science but demonstrates its true beauty through multiple ways to arrive at the same answer. This is what makes a teacher truly effective. It's an overwhelming feeling of accomplishment, both for the teacher and the student when you're able to find that one comprehensible method the student "gets." * In today's schools, students are not taught how to learn, how to properly take notes, how to study, how to organize their thoughts and materials, or how to manage their time. These are extremely important to move a student from "memorizing and regurgitating facts for a test" to becoming "lifelong learners" who have an intrinsic appreciation of knowledge. * High School and Middle School Mathematics and Science Teacher (15+ years) * Director/Owner/Tutor of TBT: tutorial service for students 7yo - College age (15+ years) of Mathematics, Science, Testing

Hobbies
* Top of my list is Traveling. I have traveled extensively and have lived abroad as well. I thrive on meeting new people, experiencing new cultures and tasting new cuisines! * Singing...While my mother originally intended me to be a doctor, my father secretly wished for a family opera singer. Needless to say, I entered the Veterinary field and entertained my fellow staff members and our clients while in surgery! Even today, I sing in a local choir and enjoy the occasional "hairbrush microphone" performance while singing in the shower! * Horseback-riding...I have been an English rider since I was 7 yo. I am quite spoiled to be able to ride in beautiful open fields and beach shorelines on a daily basis. * Crafts...I am the Queen of DIY (Do-It-Yourself). Give me a glue-gun and I'm off creating something wonderful! * Cake Decorating...Not only do I love to bake but I also love to decorate; both whimsical and intricate designs. Many times, it's for family events and special occasions but more recently for buying customers. It's labor-intensive but I love it! * Jeeping...I LOVE JEEPS! Put me behind the wheel and I'm searching for the next great adventure! Even better when I can find a mud hole! * The Beach...I love the sun, sand and ocean! You can always find me at the beach when I'm not at home. * And lastly, Laughing! It's infectious! It's rejuvenating! It's the best medicine on Earth! I love to laugh. If it means having "cheek pain" because of laughing too much then I'm ready for it! Go ahead...make me laugh! :)
