Hi Everybody!!!!

My name is Kathy, and I love math!  I love to work with lower level maths, because if I can instill a love of math early on, then those kids have a better chance at loving math their whole lives, and taking on higher levels of math in their schooling. 

I live in Northern California; I retired from the USAF almost 5 years ago, and due to a disability I cannot work, so I'm home all day most days, without much to do.  So I want to tutor, and I think I'm pretty darn good at it, if you let me.  I like to go on Yahoo! Answers and help people with their math there.  Usually I answer questions about Algebra, but you can go there and see my answering style and judge for yourself.  You can find me here:  http://answers.yahoo.com/my/profile;_ylt=AuGDN7kl10LNJOwQ3b4YpC_sy6IX;_ylv=3?show=zXSqPifuaa&preview=true

Because Yahoo! doesn't let users under 13 to use that site, there aren't many opportunities to help people with earlier levels of math, so I hope I get to do that here. 

I am really bad with forums and boards, so I might not get how this works.  But I hope the administrators and the powers that be allow me to tutor here, and I hope I can help students fall in love with math!

I love math!  I want you to love it too!  Ask me anything!

Re: Hi Everybody!!!!

Hi mathykathy,
The first word I'd like to tell you is

Its always nice to have people willing to help others with their problems in mathematics here; there are more than a handful and you are welcome to join the elite group. The forum would provide you a good opportunity of helping young students, getting to know new people and sharing your views on many subjects. Being new to the forum isn't a disadvantage by any yardstick, the senior members here too started afresh sometime back; you'd soon feel at home here.

I sincerely hope you visit the forum often and post as often!
Welcome again
