"With over a decade in mathematics education, I bring classroom expertise and personalized tutoring that transforms how students connect with math. My experience includes two years teaching in public schools and two years in curriculum development, giving me an extensive toolkit of practice problems and teaching strategies.

What sets me apart is my patience and genuine kindness. I create supportive environments where students feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow. Whether working with students struggling with concepts like negatives and fractions, or advanced learners needing refreshers, I approach each session with equal care and dedication.

My Master's Degree in Mathematics Education from the University of Central Florida provides both theoretical foundation and practical skills to break down complex ideas into digestible lessons. Ten years of tutoring have taught me that every student is unique, requiring individualized approaches.

I firmly believe anyone can learn mathematics if they want to. This philosophy drives my methodology of meeting students exactly where they are. Through thoughtful questioning, I assess current understanding and identify knowledge gaps. Rather than using predetermined plans, I adapt explanations to match each student's learning style and academic level.

My approach is diagnostic and responsive. I listen to how students explain their thinking, observe hesitations and errors, then craft explanations bridging what they know with what they're learning. This might involve visual representations for some, step-by-step procedures for others. The key is flexibility and genuine attention to individual learners.

Whether preparing for tests, working through homework, or building confidence, I guide with patience and expertise to help you succeed both now and beyond our sessions." less...
