I am Daria and live in St. Louis, MO. I enjoy learning new things and helping others learn. I have taught in grades pre-K through 9, multiple subjects, both public and private schools. More than half of my 20 years teaching experience is in upper elementary and middle school math. My philosophy is that rote memorization is not necessarily the best way to learn, but by gaining an understanding to the underlying concepts. I live with my husband and enjoy visiting my children and grandchildren.
