Denise has taught or tutored at ever level from preschool to undergraduate college physics, in classrooms, workshops, laboratory classes, and one-on-one. She had written four books on teaching math in the home school, and she publishes the bi-monthly newsletter "Mathematical Adventures" for upper-elementary through high school students.
