"Hi! I’m a certified middle school math teacher with over 18 years of classroom experience in Texas public schools. I hold certifications in Math (4–8), English as a Second Language (ESL), and Special Education, and I have a Master’s degree in Public Administration and Nonprofit Leadership.

I specialize in helping students build strong foundational skills in math, develop critical thinking strategies, and gain confidence in their problem-solving abilities. I have extensive experience working with a wide range of learners, including students who speak Spanish or Japanese at home, and I tailor lessons to meet individual learning needs.

My tutoring sessions are conducted in English, but I am able to offer occasional clarifications or support in Spanish or Japanese if needed to help students feel more comfortable and understood.

I believe that math success is not just about memorization. It’s about building real understanding and confidence. I strive to create a positive, encouraging environment where students feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow." less...
