"I have a full California teaching credential for math and have taught in Alameda public schools. In 2015 I received recognition from the California State Assembly for my Math differentiation work. I have tutored students at all levels to high school AP classes (Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, PreCalc, AP Calc, AP Stats) and college level. I have an Engineering degree and spent 20 years working in IT before becoming a teacher. I now specialize in math tutoring for high school and college students.

Students come to me for math tutoring for many different reasons and with many different needs. I personalize their instruction to those needs. Learning is relational — the teacher/student relationship is key to a student’s progress in any subject. I am skilled at taking complex topics and breaking them down into manageable steps. I really enjoy relating these steps and topics to prior or everyday knowledge so students can embrace new material with confidence. I take great pride in getting to know my students, how they learn, and where their gaps in knowledge lie." less...
