Jane Molnar, Mathematics Tutor & Learning Coach
My career has been dedicated to inspiring mathematical confidence, competence, and joy in children.
I have had decades of experience making math clear and accessible to students of all ages. I have taught mathematics to students in kindergarten through college.
I have taught algebra and analytic geometry classes in 20 elementary and middle schools in the East Bay, as well as in the MESA program at UC Berkeley.
I have trained mathematicians, scientists, engineers, philosophers, and public school teachers to teach math to children.
I homeschooled my three sons over a period of twelve years.
