Hi, I'm Maria!

I have over 13 years experience in education, including 7 years providing intensive math intervention. Along the way, I discovered that there is nothing I enjoy more than to turn math haters into math lovers through fun games, meaty number talks & the occasional M&M.  

In addition to working directly with students, I also provide ongoing consultation & case management, & present on topics related to math education to Bay Area schools & parent groups.
