I have been teaching and tutoring for over twenty years and have worked with hundreds (thousands?) of students from pre-school through adulthood. I have a Master's of Science in Education and have worked as a middle school teacher (math), along with a number of college courses I taught as an adjunct, and I have tutored one-on-one for decades. I pride myself in being able to explain difficult concepts in many different ways, meeting the needs of the learner and working with their strengths to increase academic performance. I work both with classroom subjects--especially math--as well as test prep. As a perfect scorer myself, I know all the tips and tricks to increase your score on the SAT or any other standardized test you may have to take.
My approach to education is a deep understanding that learning is often challenging, and it is crucial to be in a safe and supportive environment where students can feel comfortable asking questions when they don't understand. I try to keep things light even in high-stress environments, and I've found that a little levity goes a long way.
Whether it's counting or calculus, I will meet the learner at their level and help them develop the skills they need to be successful. I'm eager to help you meet your goals and look forward to meeting you!
