About me...

I believe in this rapidly changing technological world there are still many connections to be made between learning mathematics and the creative process.  As a choreographer (http://maureenwhitingco.org/) and a mathematician , I view these two passionate based careers in my life as being intrinsic to feeding and nurturing one another.  Here is my Ted X talk on mathematics and art entitled “beauty chaos and the art of the mundane”. I come from a family of teachers and I learned from family discussions how mathematical thought could be fun and interesting.  This natural inquisitive interest served me well at Smith College where I ran the math tutoring lab and was an undergraduate teaching assistant.  I took these experiences into my 25 years of teaching and have been a successful sought out math tutor and teacher.  

What I create:  A math and testing package to suit the needs of your child.  Scores and tests and comments from educational institution and testing centers are evaluated and a program is designed.  

What the students experiences: The student will better “know his/her/ their mind” to to learn and absorb information with love compassionate and a good portion of grit.

We all need to “know our minds” to communicate to discuss converse and to learn and absorb information with more facility and knowledge.  This is accomplished with compassion, determination and a good portion of grit.
