"I help students build confidence and strong results in math by breaking complex topics into clear, logical steps. My approach focuses on efficiency and understanding so students can avoid ineffective study habits and develop problem-solving skills they can rely on. I emphasize not just how to solve problems, but why the methods work, helping students feel more confident and prepared.

I am a Virginia Tech mathematics graduate and financial professional with an MS-ABD in actuarial science. I hold professional credentials including Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (FSA), CFA, and FRM, which provide a strong foundation in probability, financial mathematics, and analytical reasoning. I have three years of experience tutoring SAT Math and high school courses such as Algebra I & II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and Statistics in one-on-one settings. In addition, I have one year of experience working with small groups of advanced elementary students in math competition preparation.

I take a results-focused and flexible approach to tutoring, tailoring each lesson to the student’s goals and learning style. I offer a free 15-minute introductory consultation through the Wyzant platform to discuss objectives and ensure a good fit. I maintain a flexible schedule, ask for 24 hours’ notice for changes, and am responsive to my students’ needs." less...
