I am graduated from Penn State University in Industrial Engineering in 2017. I've tutored ever since I was in high school, and I love helping people! I like to help my students understand math (and other topics) instead of just doing it blindly. My goal is to help my students improve their math (and other topics) and build skills that will help them find learning easier in the future! Fun fact, I used to work for Disney and I like to salsa dance!

Frequently Asked Questions
Middle school math moves from learning procedures (like how to divide) to understanding why those procedures work. Students start seeing algebra as a way to represent patterns and relationships, not just a set of rules to follow. This shift can feel challenging at first, but once students grasp the underlying concepts, they develop stronger problem-solving skills that carry through high school and beyond.
Orlando's three school districts—Orange County, Osceola, and Seminole—may use different textbooks and approaches, but the core Florida standards are consistent across all of them. Tutors who work with students in Orlando are familiar with these standards and can adapt their instruction whether your student is using Eureka Math, Big Ideas, or another curriculum. They focus on building conceptual understanding rather than just teaching to a specific textbook.
Word problems require students to translate language into mathematical thinking—a skill that takes practice. Tutors help students develop a systematic approach: identifying what they know, what they're looking for, and which operations or strategies apply. By working through problems step-by-step and discussing the reasoning behind each choice, students build confidence and see word problems as puzzles to solve rather than obstacles.
Showing work reveals how a student thinks through a problem, making it easier to spot where misunderstandings happen. It also helps students catch their own mistakes and reinforces the reasoning behind each step. Tutors emphasize this practice because it builds stronger problem-solving habits and helps students explain their thinking—skills that matter far beyond math class.
Graphing connects abstract equations to visual patterns, which helps many students understand relationships between variables more clearly. Tutors break down the process—finding points, identifying slopes, understanding intercepts—and help students see how each piece of an equation affects the graph. This visual-algebraic connection often transforms how students think about equations and functions.
Yes. Math anxiety often stems from feeling lost or unsupported, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction creates a low-pressure space to ask questions and work through challenges. Tutors celebrate progress, break problems into manageable steps, and help students see their own capability. Over time, as students understand concepts more deeply and experience success, anxiety typically decreases and confidence grows.
The first session is about getting to know your student—their learning style, current strengths, specific challenges, and goals. A tutor will assess where they stand in the curriculum, identify any gaps, and discuss what support would be most helpful. This foundation allows the tutor to design personalized instruction that targets your student's needs from day one.
Multi-step equations require students to keep track of operations, maintain equation balance, and remember the order of steps—all while managing potential arithmetic mistakes. Tutors teach students to work systematically, verify each step, and understand why inverse operations matter. By practicing with guided support and discussing the reasoning, students develop the organizational skills and confidence to handle increasingly complex equations.
