"I hold a BS in Math-Computer Science from UC San Diego and an MA in Education from UC Santa Cruz, and I have six years of experience helping students succeed in mathematics. I spent four years teaching high school math in the classroom, working with students from diverse academic backgrounds and designing lessons that made complex concepts clear, accessible, and engaging. During that time I taught courses such as Algebra, Geometry, and Integrated Math, and I also served as a team lead, supporting new teachers and helping align curriculum, assessments, and instructional practices.

In addition to my classroom experience, I have spent two years as a professional tutor working one on one with students from middle school through early college, including learners with ADHD, dyslexia, processing challenges, and other learning differences. I take a patient and individualized approach, focusing on understanding each student’s strengths, areas of need, and preferred ways of learning. My goal is always to help students build confidence as well as skill, and I tailor explanations, visual supports, and practice problems to meet each learner where they are.

Whether I am reteaching foundational skills, supporting students through advanced coursework, or preparing them for assessments, I prioritize clarity, encouragement, and steady progress. I believe every student can succeed with the right support, and I work to create a positive, structured environment that helps them grow not only in math but also in their study habits and problem-solving abilities." less...
