Biography

Teaching Approach & Style

I put middle and high school students at the center of their own learning by consistently inviting them to share their mathematical thinking and emphasizing that confusion is a natural part of mastering challenging concepts. My approach prioritizes deep understanding over memorization, which is crucial for success in high school mathematics and standardized testing. I excel at connecting new concepts to students' existing knowledge, making advanced topics accessible.

Subjects & Expertise

I specialize in the complete middle and high school math curriculum, from Pre-Algebra through AP Calculus and Statistics. My expertise includes preparing students for high-stakes testing and ensuring they're ready for college-level mathematics. I offer 1:1 tutoring, small group sessions, and larger concept-focused classes.

What Students Gain

Through my systematic approach to building mathematical bridges, high school students develop the critical thinking skills and conceptual understanding needed for success in advanced coursework. Students gain meta-cognitive awareness that helps them tackle increasingly complex mathematical problems with confidence.

Qualifications & Experience

B.A. in Math Education, UC Brown

I hold a Master's degree in Teaching Mathematics from Brown University with specialized training in effective instructional methods for secondary mathematics. With 2 years of intensive community college tutoring and perfect scores on standardized math assessments, I'm certified to teach secondary mathematics and deeply understand the progression from middle school through college prep mathematics.
