Hello! My name is Cassandra, and I am passionate about helping students conquer math with confidence. I hold both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree in Mathematics from Jackson State University. My journey into teaching began with Teach for America, where I discovered my love for engaging students in creative ways to make math fun and accessible.

With over 30 years of teaching and tutoring experience, I specialize in mathematics for grades 6–12, including Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Integrated Math 1-3, and Common Core Math for 6th and 7th grades. I’m certified to teach mathematics in both California and Georgia and have taught in diverse settings, including a four-year stint in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, teaching English Language Learners.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in high expectations, fostering independence, and building confidence. I believe that all teachers are superheroes, and math is my "superpower." To make math less intimidating, I infuse lessons with creativity, games, and real-world applications, creating an environment that balances fun with discipline and work ethic. My motto is: "Practice doesn’t make perfect; it makes permanent. Be sure to practice correctly to achieve perfection."

I’ve had the privilege of helping countless students overcome their fear of math, unlocking their full potential in the process. Whether you’re looking for support with Pre-Algebra or preparing for Geometry, I’m here to tailor lessons to your unique needs and learning style. I also offer a free consultation to discuss your goals and how I can help you achieve them.

If you’re ready to build confidence and excel in math, I’d love to work with you! Feel free to reach out to learn more or schedule your first lesson. Let’s make math your new favorite subject!

Organized and knowledgeable math tutor

Cassandra worked with my daughter on 6th grade honors math. She is a patient teacher and even had my daughter laughing a few times during the math lesson. Afterwards, she spent time explaining and giving pointers for staying organized for math. I am very happy that I chose Cassandra to assist my daughter in learning math!

Thank you Robin! I am always happy to know that the sessions are productive.

Clear and concise

Cassandra worked well with my 6th grader on prealgebra. She clicked with her easily and was obviously experienced working with young children. Would use her again.

Thank you Nina!

Nice, caring and understanding

In our first session Cassandra taught me something new that I had trouble with in the past. She also made easy and simple ways to learn and understand the math equations.
