"I am a professional math tutor with over 15 years of experience helping students build confidence and achieve success in Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Precalculus, and standardized test prep (ACT and SAT). As a Cornell University grad, I bring both strong academic credentials and a genuine passion for making complex mathematical concepts accessible and understandable.

My Experience & Approach

Throughout my career, I've worked extensively with middle school, high school, and early college students in both one-on-one and small group settings. My teaching philosophy is simple: every student can excel in math when concepts are explained in a way that resonates with their individual learning style.

I specialize in:

- Breaking down complicated problems into clear, manageable steps

- Teaching pattern recognition so students can approach new problems independently

- Identifying and addressing the root causes of confusion, not just surface-level mistakes

- Building lasting foundational skills that serve students beyond their current course

My approach is patient, structured, and results-oriented. I focus on developing true understanding rather than memorization, which gives students the confidence to tackle increasingly challenging material.

My students consistently improve their grades and test scores because I customize every session to their specific needs and learning gaps. I don't just teach math—I teach students how to think mathematically, manage test anxiety, and develop problem-solving strategies they can use independently.

Whether you're struggling with a specific concept, preparing for an important exam, or looking to get ahead, I'm committed to providing the clarity, support, and proven techniques you need to succeed." less...
