Teaching Approach & Style

My teaching approach is specifically designed for middle and high school students who need to master foundational concepts before tackling advanced problem-solving. I ensure students thoroughly understand key mathematical principles—like quadratic equations and their applications—before introducing more complex procedures. My use of visual aids and step-by-step verification helps high school students build the systematic thinking skills essential for success in advanced mathematics.

Subjects & Expertise

I specialize in middle and high school mathematics from Pre-Algebra through AP Calculus, with additional expertise in Physics. My experience spans individual tutoring, small group instruction, and larger concept-focused classes designed to prepare students for high school success and college readiness.

What Students Gain

High school students working with me develop flexible mathematical thinking and learn to approach problems from multiple angles—a crucial skill for standardized tests and college-level mathematics. Students gain confidence through learning systematic problem-solving strategies and developing the ability to tackle challenging concepts independently.

Qualifications & Experience
