Certified Tutor

With over 8 years of tutoring experience, I've helped students from kindergarten through high school build skills and confidence in math, English, reading, and more. As a creative and passionate math tutor, I specialize in making learning engaging, understandable, and empowering for every student.

I've guided learners through foundational skills and subjects including Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, reading comprehension, writing, and grammar. My background in advertising gives me a unique ability to connect lessons to real-world situationswhether it's using pizza slices to explain fractions, storytelling to make reading come alive, or business growth models to make algebra click.

I believe in a growth mindset and tailor each session to the student's pace, learning style, and goals. My students know me as patient, encouraging, and resourceful, and I strive to make each lesson a safe space where mistakes are just stepping stones to mastery.

Over the years, I've seen students not only raise their grades but also shift their mindsettransforming frustration into confidence. Hearing "I actually like math now!" or "Reading is fun!" is what drives my work.

Whether your child needs homework help, test prep, or a boost in confidence, I provide personalized instruction that fosters academic growth and a genuine love of learning.
