Biography

Teaching Approach & Style

As a Yale graduate, I bring rigorous academic training to create a friendly, relaxed, and fun learning environment specifically designed for middle and high school students. My inductive teaching method starts with essential foundational concepts and systematically builds to advanced topics, allowing me to identify both student strengths and growth areas. I excel at making challenging high school mathematics accessible through visual aids, hands-on problem-solving, and real-world examples tailored to each student's interests.

Subjects & Expertise

I specialize in the complete middle and high school mathematics sequence from basic arithmetic through AP Calculus. My expertise covers Addition & Subtraction, Multiplication & Division, Fractions & Decimals, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. With my perfect 800 SAT Math score, I'm particularly skilled at standardized test preparation and college readiness.

What Students Gain

High school students working with me build unshakeable confidence through mastering strong mathematical foundations before tackling advanced concepts. My "teach-back" method ensures students truly understand material rather than memorize procedures, preparing them for success in challenging coursework and standardized testing. Most of my students see significant score improvements and develop lasting mathematical reasoning skills.
