"For over three decades, I have specialized in demystifying math and science for students of all ages—from children and teens to traditional and older college students. I offer expert support in Mathematics (Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, etc.) and Science (Chemistry, Physics, Biology) at all levels. My experience includes teaching math and physics in classroom settings and working full-time in a community college math tutoring lab for several years. I've successfully worked with students across the full spectrum of academic needs, including helping an adult learner master Calculus while simultaneously acquiring English language skills.

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering (Purdue University) and a Master of Science degree in Environmental Systems (Humboldt State University). This strong technical background ensures I don't just teach the steps—I teach the core concepts. I view problem-solving through an “ADHD lens,” focusing on breaking down complex subjects into accessible, manageable steps. If you struggle with focus, processing speed, or just need a new way to look at an old problem, I excel at finding the right angle for your brain. I am a queer woman committed to creating an inclusive, non-judgmental, and welcoming learning environment for every student. If you’re looking for a tutor who brings both deep expertise and genuine connection, let's connect and solve some problems together.

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring new places (I have a pilot license and am certified to scuba dive) and spending time with my hands in the dirt—gardening and perfecting the art of composting. I am active with my corgi, Pete, and we enjoy meeting new dogs and new people." less...
