Award Winning Academic Tutoring & Test Prep

I have tutored and taught math since I was a student myself. I began tutoring kids in the neighborhood as a student in high school and earned a living in college helping my peers with their algebra, statistics and calculus. I graduated from the Barrett Honors College at ASU Summa cum Laude with a Bachelors degree in pure Mathematics. Then I got a "real" job behind a desk and kept just a few tutoring clients on the side. When I realized that I liked teaching math in the afternoons a lot more than what I did behind that desk, I went back to ASU to earn my Masters in Education, along with an Arizona Teaching Certificate. Since then, I have taught Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre Calculus, AP Statistics, and AP Calculus BC in both public and private schools.

My teaching style is getting students to "speak math." I encourage a lot of talking and we draw pictures to get a better understanding of what things look like. I encourage proper vocabulary and often ask my students to explain the concept to me, either through words or a drawing. We don't just "do problems", we communicate, using math. If this is a style that you think could help your student thrive in the classroom, please contact me to make an appointment today!
