Michele loves to see the light bulb moment when a student “gets it”. She loves removing any fear of math by bringing fun into math learning. She found her passion for math as a teenager, but more importantly in high school she found her passion for Jesus and has been grateful to follow him for many years. Michele helps students understand math by breaking down concepts into small manageable pieces. Graduating from Texas A&M University with a degree in Civil Engineering, she worked in her field for 6 years earning her Professional Engineering License before she chose to become a stay-at-home mom. Married to her best friend Scott for 30 years, she homeschooled their 3 kids kindergarten to graduation. Her son Justin (23) graduated from college with a degree in Mathematics and works as a Data Engineer, Nathan (21) is a Civil Engineering major at California Baptist University (CBU) and her daughter Catherine (17) will enter CBU as a nursing major Fall 2018. She has taught classes in many different homeschooling venues through the years and has worked as a math tutor/teacher the last 5 years.
