"Hi! I'm a graduate of Brown University and have been tutoring for over fifteen years. I specialize in math, which was my favorite subject growing up. There's nothing quite like problem solving, and I'm dedicated to helping students find the ease, enjoyment, and success I did when I was in school.

"Hi! I'm a graduate of Brown University and have been tutoring for over fifteen years. I specialize in math, which was my favorite subject growing up. There's nothing quite like problem solving, and I'm dedicated to helping students find the ease, enjoyment, and success I did when I was in school. I received honors and awards in math in high school, and I went to Brown with a math/science/technology scholarship. Although I ended up pursuing a career in the arts, I've been tutoring math since graduating college, and it is STILL my favorite subject! I've worked with a range of ages and levels, from six-year-olds learning arithmetic to teenagers and adults studying Pre-Calculus or prepping for the SAT. Currently I'm tutoring SAT Math, Trigonometry, Algebra 2, Geometry, Algebra 1, Pre-Algebra, and Elementary School Math.



One-on-one tutoring gives me the opportunity to find out just where each student needs more explanation, practice, or a new way to think about a concept. As I get to know a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style, I can tailor our work to be most effective and efficient for that student's goals.



It's thrilling to see students gain confidence where they were once frustrated or hesitant, to watch their grades and test scores improve, and to see them expand the breadth of subjects they consider themselves "good at" and careers they might pursue in the future. It's particularly exciting to see students start to enjoy math as much as I do. With a solid understanding of underlying concepts, the process of applying them flexibly becomes creative, adventurous, even fun.



Feedback I've received from parents includes that I'm a "gifted teacher," a "positive role model," and that I "really got through to" their child. I am personable, encouraging, creative, and kind. I have met wonderful students through Wyzant and look forward to meeting more. If you want to boost your child's (or your own) understanding, proficiency, enjoyment, and confidence in math, please message me." less...
