Teaching Approach & Style

I specialize in making middle and high school mathematics engaging and accessible through storytelling, real-life scenarios, and humor that resonates with teenage learners. My approach recognizes that different high school students learn differently—some need visual representations, others need repetition, and many just need someone who understands the academic pressures they face. I create a supportive space where making mistakes is part of mastering challenging concepts like algebra and calculus.

Subjects & Expertise

I focus on middle and high school mathematics from basic arithmetic through Statistics, with specialized experience in making abstract concepts concrete for teenage learners. I excel in 1:1 and small group tutoring that addresses the unique developmental needs of secondary students.

What Students Gain

High school students don't just memorize formulas—they develop genuine understanding of mathematical concepts that prepares them for advanced coursework and standardized testing. I build strong foundations while adapting to each student's learning style, with many students reporting improved confidence and better grades after just a few sessions.
