Hi, I’m Ryan! High school math moves fast—especially once students hit Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, and AP Calculus. Suddenly, memorizing steps isn't enough, and even bright students can hit an unexpected wall.
With 16 years of full-time high school classroom teaching experience and a Master's in Education, I specialize in helping students bridge that exact gap. I turn confusing formulas into plain-English concepts so students can tackle tough problems independently, maintain their GPAs, and most importantly, build critical thinking skills that can serve them for a lifetime.
===============
COURSE I TEACH
===============
• AP Calculus AB & BC (from rebuilding foundational confidence and skills to targeting top AP exam scores)
• Pre-Calculus & Trigonometry
• Algebra 2 & Integrated Math
• Algebra 1, Geometry, & Middle School Foundations
============================
HOW I HELP STUDENTS SUCCEED
============================
• Deep Problem-Solving Core: We move past memorization. I teach students how to think through multi-step calculus and algebra problems so they don't get stuck on novel exam questions.
• Proactive "Head Start" Previewing: We preview upcoming school material ahead of time so your student enters class ahead of the curve, feeling calm and confident.
• Low-Stress, Zero-Judgment Environment: 16 years with high schoolers has taught me that high achievement and low stress go hand-in-hand. I bring patience, clear steps, and humor to keep sessions engaging.
Whether your student needs to secure an A in Pre-Calculus, prepare for the AP Calculus exam, or get a jump start on next term, I’m here to help them build real, lasting confidence.
