Grammar has logical rules. Shakespeare was a genius. I am officially retired but still enthusiastic about helping young people along their journey of learning. Pre-teens may be my favorite age group yet Algebra is perhaps my favorite subject. Learning is all about making connections between what is known, to what is unknown. I think I am pretty good at leading students Socratically down that path. Regarding math algorithms, I am a bit stubbornly old-school, but I am very familiar with new ways of teaching. I believe arithmetic is rooted in a strong understanding of our base-10 number system. I am well-versed in bad Dad jokes. What did the acorn say 20 years later?    Gee I'm a tree!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"desc-title\"\u003e\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M5 10.0001V16.0112C5 16.3702 5 16.5496 5.05465 16.7081C5.10299 16.8482 5.18187 16.9759 5.28558 17.0817C5.40287 17.2015 5.5634 17.2818 5.88446 17.4423L11.2845 20.1423C11.5468 20.2735 11.678 20.3391 11.8156 20.3649C11.9375 20.3877 12.0625 20.3877 12.1844 20.3649C12.322 20.3391 12.4532 20.2735 12.7155 20.1423L18.1155 17.4423C18.4366 17.2818 18.5971 17.2015 18.7144 17.0817C18.8181 16.9759 18.897 16.8482 18.9453 16.7081C19 16.5496 19 16.3702 19 16.0112V10.0001M2 8.50006L11.6422 3.67895C11.7734 3.61336 11.839 3.58056 11.9078 3.56766C11.9687 3.55622 12.0313 3.55622 12.0922 3.56766C12.161 3.58056 12.2266 3.61336 12.3578 3.67895L22 8.50006L12.3578 13.3212C12.2266 13.3868 12.161 13.4196 12.0922 13.4325C12.0313 13.4439 11.9687 13.4439 11.9078 13.4325C11.839 13.4196 11.7734 13.3868 11.6422 13.3212L2 8.50006Z\" stroke=\"#002A94\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003eTeaching Specialization\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"desc-desc\"\u003e I spent half of my career in Middle School Math with sidesteps into high school math and college business adjunct positions. The other half of my career was as a Specialist in AIG - Academically and\/or Intellectually Gifted as North Carolina calls it. That allowed me to work with scholars from K-8, mostly 4-8, in all four core subject areas with forays into STEM, SEL, and Financial Literacy. I am now officially retired with 29 years of experience.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stride","offers":[{"title":"60 Min","offer_id":47585651360031,"sku":"f9177a37-99f4-41a6-a013-87feb6a2375a","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 Min","offer_id":47585651327263,"sku":"f9177a37-99f4-41a6-a013-87feb6a2375a","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/7175\/6319\/files\/23b2f70f-c52d-460e-a4b6-68e08d2c6218.jpg?v=1700080520","url":"https:\/\/checkout.tutoring.k12.com\/products\/gw-d","provider":"K12 Tutoring","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
