As a California-certified math teacher with over three years of experience working with students of all ages, I bring a strong foundation in mathematics education, a passion for student growth, and a proven ability to foster inclusive, supportive learning environments. I would be excited to support your students in subjects ranging from Pre-Algebra through Statistics.
I completed my Bachelor’s in Pure Mathematics at UC Santa Cruz, and I recently graduated with my M.Ed. in Single Subject Mathematics from Alder G.S.E this past May. My role as a high school math co-teacher at Golden State Preparatory Academy allowed me to lead classroom instruction, manage behavior through restorative practices, and design curriculum aligned with Common Core standards. My approach prioritizes clarity, encouragement, and adaptability—core values I would bring into any tutoring setting.
Beyond the classroom, I have developed strong interpersonal and instructional skills through experiences as a SCUBA instructor and teaching assistant, where I worked one-on-one and in small groups to guide learners through complex skill-building processes. These roles have helped me refine my ability to scaffold instruction effectively, build student confidence, and ensure conceptual understanding—skills directly transferable to individualized academic tutoring. Thank you for your time and consideration—I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your students' academic success.
