I live in Northumberland County (pop. 12,259), in eastern Virginia, and work in the small, rural school district there. Our one high school, one middle school, and one elementary school together serve about 1400 students.
I truly have a passion for teaching, and 30 years of experience to show for it. I became a French teacher and also have state certification to teach world geography, world history, and general mathematics. My dream though, has always been to teach geometry and to obtain my master’s degree.
I am a person who can do math in my head sometimes even faster than on paper. I keep statistics for our volleyball, basketball, and softball teams (only a person who loves math will understand this). I also tutor students in algebra 1, geometry, and algebra 2, helping prepare them for the Standard of Learning tests they must pass to graduate. There is such a need for mathematics teachers.
