Math is easier to learn when students feel comfortable asking questions and understand why the steps work. I help high school students build confidence in Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, and Precalculus through patient explanations, targeted practice, and support that fits their coursework.

Math is easier to learn when students feel comfortable asking questions and understand why the steps work. I help high school students build confidence in Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, and Precalculus through patient explanations, targeted practice, and support that fits their coursework.

I am a certified math teacher with over 12 years of teaching and tutoring experience. I recently earned my Master of Education in Advanced Teaching from the University of the People, building on my bachelor’s degree in Education with a minor in Mathematics. I currently teach at a college-prep secondary school in Florida, where I help students navigate challenging material and prepare for higher-level mathematics.

Whether your student needs to strengthen foundational skills, tackle an honors course, prepare for an upcoming test, or work ahead, I meet them where they are. We use their class materials and goals to focus our time, work through examples together, and practice until they can take more of the lead. I emphasize understanding, problem-solving, and recognizing mistakes so students become more independent.

My students and their families frequently describe me as patient, clear, and approachable. I want students to feel comfortable saying, “I don’t understand,” knowing we can try another explanation without judgment.

I offer both ongoing support and focused help with specific topics or assessments. Send me a message with your student’s course, current challenges, and upcoming deadlines, and we can discuss a productive starting point.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I am a certified math teacher with a master’s degree in education and 12 years of teaching and tutoring experience, including ACT math preparation. I help students strengthen their skills in algebra, functions, geometry, statistics, probability, and trigonometry through targeted practice. Sessions emphasize recognizing problem types, choosing efficient strategies, and managing time while maintaining accuracy. We review mistakes and address learning gaps to help students approach test day with greater confidence and independence.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I am a certified math teacher with a master’s degree in education and 12 years of teaching and tutoring experience. I have taught Algebra 1 in the classroom and tutor students in equations, inequalities, linear functions, systems, and quadratics. I break problems into manageable steps and explain why each method works so students can apply it independently. Sessions target each student’s needs, whether that means strengthening foundational skills, completing homework, or preparing for a test.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I am a certified math teacher with a master’s degree in education and 12 years of teaching and tutoring experience. As an Algebra 2 classroom teacher, I help students understand polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions, along with systems and other course topics. My explanations connect equations, graphs, and patterns to help students understand both the procedures and the concepts. I tailor practice to address learning gaps, prepare for assessments, and build a strong foundation for Precalculus.
Geometry

Geometry

I am a certified math teacher with a master’s degree in education and 12 years of teaching and tutoring experience, including classroom instruction in Geometry. I help students with geometric relationships, congruence, similarity, coordinate geometry, right-triangle trigonometry, area, and volume. Using diagrams and guided questions, I teach students how to organize information, choose an approach, and explain their reasoning. I also provide step-by-step support with proofs so students understand how each statement follows logically.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I am a certified math teacher with a master’s degree in education and 12 years of experience teaching and tutoring middle and high school math. I help students master fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, negative numbers, expressions, and equations. My patient, step-by-step explanations make challenging concepts more approachable while helping students understand why each method works. Sessions address individual learning gaps, build confidence, and strengthen the foundation students need for Algebra 1.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I am a certified math teacher with a master’s degree in education and 12 years of teaching and tutoring experience. As a Precalculus classroom teacher, I help students with functions, trigonometry, identities, equations, vectors, parametric equations, and polar coordinates. I connect algebraic methods with graphs and visual explanations while addressing any prerequisite skills that need reinforcement. Each session helps students tackle challenging coursework, prepare for assessments, and develop the understanding they will need for Calculus.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I am a certified math teacher with a master’s degree in education and 12 years of teaching and tutoring experience, including SAT math preparation. I help students strengthen the algebra, advanced math, data analysis, geometry, and trigonometry skills tested on the digital SAT. Sessions combine targeted practice with strategies for interpreting questions, managing time, and using the built-in Desmos calculator effectively. We review mistakes to identify learning gaps and build a more accurate, confident approach to unfamiliar problems.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I am a certified math teacher with a master’s degree in education and 12 years of teaching and tutoring experience. Through teaching Precalculus and tutoring Trigonometry, I help students understand the unit circle, trigonometric functions and graphs, identities, equations, and triangle applications. I connect visual explanations with algebraic methods so students can make sense of concepts that often feel like memorization. Sessions include guided practice and strategies for choosing an approach, checking solutions, and solving problems independently.

Patient and professional

My son isn’t the most outgoing kid. He’s in AP pre calculus and Chris reviews his homework with him 3 days a week.. He is comfortable asking Chris questions and Chris is patient and clear with him. Thank you!

My son really enjoys working with Chris. He finds him extremely knowledgeable and helpful for his Algebra 2 Honors course. He will definitely be scheduling more with him.

Sat, 15 lessons with Chris

Thorough, knowledgeable and flexible

Chris has been helping my son to get grasp of new concepts in geometry, and how to apply them while solving problems. My son, who doesn’t get easily engaged, find classes productive and helpful. Chris is accommodating and prepares to the classes in advance based on my son’s curriculum. We really appreciate his help!
