I am a graduate of Saint Mary's College of California with dual Bachelor's degrees in Mathematics and Theology. I have a genuine passion for math and love helping students discover the clarity and satisfaction that comes from mastering challenging concepts. Over the past several years, I have worked with both long-term students and drop-in learners, tutoring high school and elementary students weekly as well as leading open online math sessions. My students benefit from consistent guidance that keeps them on track, confident, and less stressed about schoolwork.
In my lessons, I use Zoom, interactive whiteboards, and custom math pages that I design with LaTeX to make concepts clear and approachable. I adapt constantly checking in often, noticing frustration early, and shifting strategies until the concept "clicks." When a student needs extra encouragement, I bring in puzzles or short stories to make learning more engaging and memorable.
As a father, I've learned the value of patience, encouragement, and persistence qualities I bring to every tutoring session. My goal is to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, develop problem-solving skills, and grow in confidence as learners.
