NY Certified Math Teacher | Mastering Algebra, Geometry & SAT Math

Victoria R.

ACT Math

I am a math educator with a background in Statistics, specializing in the data analysis and coordinate geometry seen on the ACT. I focus on breaking down complex topics—like composite functions and trigonometry—to teach the logic behind the formulas rather than simple memorization. By sharing "trap-recognition" skills and strategic shortcuts, I help my students significantly improve their speed and accuracy under timed conditions.

Algebra 1

I am a NY State Certified Math Teacher with a Master’s in Math Education and a Bachelors in Statistics. I specialize in helping high schoolers bridge the gap between "doing the homework" and truly mastering the concepts. Whether you are navigating the New York curriculum or Florida’s B.E.S.T. standards, I provide clear, step-by-step guidance tailored to your specific school goals. Algebra often feels like a hurdle, but I focus on making topics like functions, graphing, and equations feel like second nature. My goal is to create a patient, low-stress environment where we turn confusion into confidence. From daily homework support to acing that next big state exam or the SAT, I’m here to make sure you have the tools to succeed.

Geometry

Hi! I’m Victoria, and I’d love to help you master Geometry. Having logged significant hours helping students navigate the transition from Algebra to Geometry, I know that this subject requires a completely different "mental map." My goal is to help you build that map. With my background in Statistics, I bring a unique perspective to Geometry. I don’t just ask you to memorize proofs; I teach you how to recognize the logic and "traps" within problems. Whether you are struggling with coordinate geometry, circles, or complex proofs, I focus on making the material visual and intuitive. What you can expect from our sessions: Targeted Strategy: We won’t just do busy work. We’ll focus on the specific comprehension gaps that make Geometry word problems feel like a different language. Confidence Building: I create an encouraging, high-energy environment where you feel comfortable asking questions. My students leave sessions feeling capable, not overwhelmed. Test-Prep Integration: Because I also specialize in ACT/SAT prep, I’ll show you exactly how the Geometry you’re learning in class will appear on those high-stakes exams, giving you a head start on your college applications. I’m a firm believer that anyone can "get" math with the right mentor. If you’re looking for a tutor who is as invested in your success as you are, send me a message!

Logic

I have extensive experience in formal logic, rooted in advanced undergraduate coursework in computer science and proof theory. My expertise covers propositional and predicate logic, truth tables, and the construction of formal proofs, which I currently teach as a core component of the Geometry curriculum. I specialize in helping students bridge the gap between abstract logical theory and its practical applications in mathematics and programming.

Prealgebra

Hi! I specialize in helping students bridge the gap between basic arithmetic and the abstract concepts of Algebra. With a background in Statistics and years of tutoring experience, I focus on building a strong foundation in integers, equations, and number theory. My goal is to transform 'math anxiety' into confidence through clear, step-by-step explanations and real-world applications.

SAT Math

I am a NYS Certified Math Teacher with a Master’s in Math Education and a Bachelor’s in Statistics. I specialize in helping students navigate the specific challenges of the Digital SAT (DSAT). Because the SAT is as much a test of logic as it is a test of math, I focus on teaching students how to identify "trap" answers and use the most efficient problem-solving strategies. My background in Statistics allows me to provide expert coaching on the Data Analysis and Problem Solving sections, which are often the most time-consuming for students. I also cover the essential Algebra and Advanced Math topics that make up the bulk of the exam. Whether we are mastering the Desmos built-in calculator or learning how to translate word problems into equations, I provide a clear, strategic approach that builds confidence and raises scores. I am available for both local sessions in Miami and remote sessions for students in New York and beyond.

Track & Field

I am a former collegiate scholarship athlete with over 20 years of experience in middle and long-distance running, including 6 completed marathons. I have completed USATF Level 1 Coach training and have years of experience coaching both middle and high school athletes to personal bests. I specialize in data-driven training plans to help runners improve efficiency and prevent injury. I am available for in-person coaching in Miami or online video form analysis nationwide.
