A Scientist, A Mom,
A Science "Whisperer"
(according to former students!)
Having worked in the Laboratory and in Competitive Intelligence for years,
I chose to leave "industry" to help students fall in love with
(or at least, be intrigued by)
math and science.
​
My sons loved math and science but
they felt that something was missing in their classes--the "Why" of it all.
The wondering-of-the-"Why" inspired me to approach
Education Consulting in a different way.
I focus on Skills and Strategy with Science content.
​
Learn the Skills
Gain Confidence
Design the Strategy
Problem-Solve
​
​
​
Become Efficient and Proactive Learners
​
My teaching objective is to help students bring pieces of
information together
(the math and the science)
to find a "story".
As the story evolves, it becomes easier to understand
why and how
the concept works together.
The student then designs their strategy to solve the problems!
​
This approach is similar to what a scientist does in the laboratory.
(Or what all of us do every day for general problem-solving.)
​
The foundation of my teaching style is to use Color
when introducing the skills and content.
I have found that if I use contrasting colors on a white background,
my students will remember our tutoring session for literally months/years. True!
​
​
​
The goal is to build confidence.
Confidence leads to...
Problem Solving!
​
I am looking forward to teaching a new group of problem-solvers
in the 2024-2025 school year!
