Biography

Ms. Marie runs an after-school program in the San Francisco Peninsula area. With the goal of building strong number and reading skills in her students, she keeps in mind that everyone is different. Where some learn by memorization, others learn by listening or by doing – among other ways. Reading stories is definitely one way of learning!

Armed with a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering, a teaching license and a certification in TESOL, Ms. Marie hopes to create ways for students to understand math problems through an enjoyable reading experience.

Smashwords Interview

Describe your desk
Different colored pens, pencils, worksheets, Surface Pro tablet and green tea! Make that chamomile late at night.
What's the story behind your first book?
Students in my after-school program develop excellent number and reading skills. A common question from parents, though, is why word problems seem to be a big challenge. Word problems involve a lot of comprehension (among other things) of what exactly is being asked and what details are given to help answer the question.

The Mystery Math Squad story aims to entertain readers and foster love for reading. By writing a story where calculations are part of the conversation, I hope to give young readers a glimpse on how approaching word problems can be fun.
