I hold a master’s degree in software engineering and have around 10 years of experience tutoring math across grade levels through college. I have taught in one-on-one sessions, small groups, and classrooms, adapting my approach to different learning needs. I specialize in helping students prepare for standardized exams, pass math courses, and meet academic requirements for earning credits.

My teaching style emphasizes intuition and independent thinking. I encourage students to explore ideas, ask questions, and develop ways of solving problems that make sense to them. Rather than simply demonstrating a procedure, I help students understand why it works and when to use it. My software engineering background supports this approach by connecting mathematical ideas with logical reasoning and practical problem-solving.

For exam and course preparation, I identify gaps in understanding, strengthen essential concepts, and guide students through targeted practice. Lessons balance immediate goals, such as an upcoming test, with the deeper understanding needed for continued progress. I want students to leave each session better prepared and more confident in their ability to tackle unfamiliar problems independently.

I offer online and in-person tutoring in Manhattan and Brooklyn, including individual and group lessons. Whether a student needs to rebuild foundations, keep up with a challenging course, or prepare for an important exam, I tailor instruction to their level, pace, and goals.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

My ACT Math preparation combines math review with practical test-taking strategy. I first look for the specific areas costing a student points, whether that is algebra, geometry, functions, statistics, probability, timing, or simply recognizing what a question is asking. From there, we practice targeted problems and develop faster ways to approach common ACT question types without sacrificing accuracy. I have worked with students at different skill levels and focus on making preparation efficient, organized, and specific to the individual student.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have been tutoring math for about 10 years, working with students individually as well as in classroom settings. In Algebra I, I focus on helping students become comfortable with equations, inequalities, functions, graphing, factoring, and word problems. I like to explain the reasoning behind each method and then let students work toward solutions in a way that makes sense to them. My goal is for students to leave Algebra I with a foundation they can rely on in every math course that follows.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Algebra II is often where students have to bring many different math skills together, and I enjoy helping them make those connections. I work with functions, polynomials, rational expressions, systems, complex numbers, exponentials, logarithms, sequences, and related topics. Rather than treating each chapter as a separate collection of formulas, I help students recognize the patterns that connect them. I have about 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience and adjust my approach based on where each student is struggling.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

Prealgebra is an important stage because this is where many of the habits students carry into higher math begin to develop. I work patiently with students on fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, negative numbers, expressions, equations, and basic geometry. Instead of asking students to memorize steps they do not understand, I use examples and intuitive explanations to help the ideas make sense. Over my years of tutoring, I have found that once students understand what they are doing and why, their confidence often improves along with their math skills.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I help students bridge the gap between algebra and calculus by developing a deeper understanding of functions, graphs, trigonometry, logarithms, exponentials, and other precalculus topics. With a Master's in Software Engineering and a strong mathematics background, I tend to approach problems logically and from more than one direction. I especially enjoy breaking complicated-looking problems into smaller ideas that students already understand. When necessary, I also go back and strengthen missing algebra skills so students are genuinely ready for calculus.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I prepare students for SAT Math by working on both the mathematics itself and the way SAT questions are structured. We cover algebra, advanced math, data analysis, geometry, and trigonometry while paying close attention to recurring mistakes and inefficient approaches. I teach students how to recognize the underlying idea in a question, choose an effective solution method, and use their time carefully. With about 10 years of math tutoring experience, I tailor preparation to the student's current level rather than using the same study plan for everyone.
