Eunice
Math Junkie with a passion for teaching!
Teaching has always been something I've been passionate about. Helping people get to that "aha!" moment is one of the most rewarding things for me--it feels good knowing that someone has had a breakthrough in how they see the world around them, even for something as simple as words and numbers on a page.

After four years teaching in Taiwan, I moved back here to try something new.

I believe people learn when the subject being taught is relevant and interesti... Read more
