About Me

I have 6 years of classroom teaching and 10 years of tutoring experience, including more than 2500 hours of private and small-group instruction. I have taught classes from 6th grade to university and tutored from age 11 to adult. I have an undergraduate degree in English from Amherst College, and a Master's degree in Geosciences from the #1 graduate program in the country. I scored in the 99th percentile in the SAT and GRE, and previously worked for private test prep companies as a tutor, teacher and essay grader. My teaching style is encouraging, clear, fun, and flexible. I love figuring out how to customize a lesson in order to best cater to an individual student's needs. I can work with classroom teachers to come up with a plan to help you or your child through the semester. I also love helping students to build confidence that extends far beyond one subject or one test. As a teacher, it is important to me that students make fundamental and lasting progress as a result of our time together. One of my favorite things to do as a teacher is to convert students who are shy about math, into math heroes!
