About
I love helping students become confident in their abilities to solve problems in math. I have created my tutoring around best practice research that uses hands-on materials and pictues to make math engaging and build student understanding. We also work on good study habits and the willingness to try. My students build self-esteem and critical thinking skills; the path to strong minds and great careers!
I am a professional math teacher and have taught over 1,500 students for more than 16 years in the classroom. I have taught all ages from Kindergarten to high school secious and college students, students with ADD, ADHD, and dyscalculia. I am also a certified math interventionist through Math Recovery.
I enjoy working with students and helping students feel confident in their math abilities along with getting to know each student as an individual person.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
In tutoirng, I usually start with your classwork and homework. I see what questions you have on those and we do extra practice on the concepts that you struggle with until you feel confident in them.
I can also do an initial assessment for math topics and levels.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a licensed math teacher 5 -12. I am also a certified math intervetionist through Math Recovery.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Think about what your goals are in hiring a tutor. Do you need help on homework, want to accelerate, or fill in gaps from previous grades? Then you can find the tutor that has experience doing that.
