I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

I'm a licensed New York State educator with a Master's degree in Secondary Education, focused on STEM. For over four years, I've taught middle and high school math in both public and private settings helping students from diverse backgrounds build confidence and skills in subjects like algebra, geometry, and precalculus. My passion lies in making math feel approachable and relevant.

In addition to classroom teaching, I've taught math online across various platforms, connecting with students through virtual tools that encourage clarity and engagement. I use screen-sharing, interactive materials, digital task charts, and one-on-one support to personalize the learning experience. My online sessions are structured, friendly, and designed to help students stay motivated and organized.

I specialize in SAT Math preparation and have earned certification as an SAT instructor. I've supported many students in mastering content, recognizing patterns, and developing strong problem-solving strategies for test day. I believe math should reflect the real world, so I often integrate technology and project-based learning to spark curiosity and critical thinking. I also stay in close communication with families to reinforce academic growth and independence beyond tutoring sessions.

I'm excited to bring my strong math background, test-prep expertise, and collaborative mindset to a role where I can help students truly thrive both online and in person.

Hobbies

Spending time with family is one of my favorite things, especially when it comes to sharing moments with my kids. Whether it's going on vacations filled with fun and discovery or simply enjoying everyday routines, I love creating memories together. I also enjoy reading, particularly fantasy fiction that sweeps me into magical worlds and imaginative adventures. Trying out new recipes is another hobby I find joy in; it's exciting to experiment in the kitchen and see what delicious meals we can come up with. These little passions make life feel richer and more connected.
