It's very frustrating to sit through class feeling completely lost. Almost as if you are in a foreign country! What’s more frustrating is going to someone for help and he or she doesn’t seem to understand why you are getting confused.

I know how frustrating and discouraging this feels. I also know that you are looking to understand the same concept, but from a different perspective, YOUR perspective. That’s what I aim to do.

I listen closely to your questions and try to see the problem from YOUR perspective. Where exactly are you getting lost? Did you maybe misunderstand something a few lectures ago that is causing your current confusion? Determining the answers to these questions enables me to present the same concept in a manner that is CLEAR TO YOU.

I have served students from pre-school to graduate school. My students attend both public and private schools such as Mayfield Schools, Clark Magnet School, S. Pasadena High, Westridge High, Notre Dame High, La Salle High, PCC, GCC, USC, and Pepperdine and CalState MBA Schools.

I’ve also worked with many professionals needing help with analytical projects, or those needing to improve their Excel skills. With a background in finance and human resources, I can also help you prepare for an interview or an employment skills assessment.

Email me today and I’ll be happy to answer any questions.

Discrete Math

Discrete Mathematics has been the most beneficial math course I have taken. I won't say that I learned to see math in a new way because it teaches you to see math and numbers in so many ways-from a theoretical to a computational perspective. I was fortunate to have a professor that motivated me to work on application problems in addition to the class work. This gave me the opportunity to discuss some basic applications that illustrated the course goals. Throughout the entire semester I diligently... Read More

Career Development

As a former Recruiter and Human Resources Specialist, I understand the importance of presenting yourself creatively in a resume and interview. I had many days were I had to sift through hundreds of resumes in order to select a handful for contact. Consequently, I interviewed several employees in one day.

So if you need some guidance in presenting yourself amongst today's massive and modern job market, or you simply don't have the time to build creative and competitive resumes for yourself,... Read More
