I have been tutoring for over two decades, ever since a high school classmate's parents begged me to tutor them. Ever since, I've been hooked to teaching! My philosophy is to tailor tutoring to both the student's current level and pace as well as their medium- and long-term goals. Recently, a student told me that my explanation of a concept from their pre-calculus class was "so simple" in contrast to the "confusing" explanation their teacher had given--high praise!

I have been tutoring for over two decades, ever since a high school classmate's parents begged me to tutor them. Ever since, I've been hooked to teaching! My philosophy is to tailor tutoring to both the student's current level and pace as well as their medium- and long-term goals. Recently, a student told me that my explanation of a concept from their pre-calculus class was "so simple" in contrast to the "confusing" explanation their teacher had given--high praise! In addition, one of my former students believed he was "bad at" math; his parents credit my tutoring with giving him so much more belief in his math abilities that he is now a tax accountant!
In terms of formal teaching, I have taught for three years in higher education at Top 10 universities such as Princeton and Caltech. I also currently teach gifted & talented elementary through middle school math at the Art of Problem Solving Academy and tutor middle through high school students, including standardized test prep (PSAT, SAT, ACT), at C2 Education.
I also have experience and training working with students with learning differences. I currently teach students of all ages (primarily elementary and middle school, but including adult learners as well) who need reading support at Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes and am trained in their Seeing Stars, Visualizing & Verbalizing, and On Cloud Nine programs. I also currently coach middle and high school students at The StudyPro, which specializes in teaching students with ADHD and ASD to better use their executive functioning (EF) skills to help them achieve their goals in the classroom and beyond.
I would be delighted for the opportunity to bring my individually tailored approach to teaching you or the student in your life, whether they are currently struggling with a particular subject or study skills OR they are looking for additional acceleration and enrichment in their learning. Please reach out, and I look forward to working together to make a learning plan to help achieve your learning goals!
