Mathematics

I have a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and have left working at Microsoft to pursue my lifelong dream of teaching Mathematics.   I was considering teaching at the community college level, but after taking recent math refresher courses I realized that to properly prepare for a Master's in Math I would need to take a couple more years of math.  So, I decided instead to pursue a Master's in Education, and explore teaching high school or junior high.

I have also spent part of the last year tutoring students in preparation for the Mathematics portion of the SAT.  I am not yet sure whether I will ultimately remain a teacher in public school, move to private school (possibly a Lutheran school, or change to focus on tutoring or on training, but the possibilities are all out there.  With a Master's degree I should be well prepared for whatever career path the next few years bring.
