MICHELE WINDSOR
Summary
I am a retired math teacher who finds fulfillment in working with people and supporting their growth. Although I have retired, I continue to tutor math and teach math digitally during the week, helping students improve their understanding and confidence in mathematics.
As a math teacher, I strive to serve as a positive role model for students by consistently demonstrating and encouraging constructive behavior both in and out of the classroom. My background includes significant experience in high-level math teaching environments and private tutoring. With a friendly and energetic approach, I have dedicated 28 years to teaching in public school classrooms and five years to digital math instruction. I am deeply motivated to help students reach their potential while fostering an atmosphere that is happy, healthy, and encouraging.
