Bio

Many students understand math in class but lose points on tests because of accuracy, pacing, or weak foundations. I identify the exact breakdown quickly and teach a clear system so students can perform confidently on quizzes, exams, and the SAT.

Many students understand math in class but lose points on tests because of accuracy, pacing, or weak foundations. I identify the exact breakdown quickly and teach a clear system so students can perform confidently on quizzes, exams, and the SAT.

Many students begin with a single starter session so we can identify their strengths, learning gaps, and create a plan that makes math feel manageable. I welcome students at all levels, including those who feel behind, overwhelmed, or anxious about math. From there, we build a clear weekly plan so progress continues between sessions.

As an award-winning math educator and certified instructional coach, I bring more than a decade of classroom and leadership experience to every session. Parents choose me when they want structure, strategy, and measurable growth—not just homework help.

Recognized for excellence in math instruction and student achievement, I’ve served as Department Chair, Academic Coach, and Teacher of the Year nominee. My background allows me to quickly pinpoint learning gaps, design targeted lessons, and guide students toward mastery through clear explanations and high-impact practice.

Each session follows a results-driven model:
1. Diagnostic review (identify the exact gap)
2. Clear instruction (model the method)
3. Targeted practice (remove the mistake pattern)
4. Strategy + confidence coaching (transfer to tests)

If you message me with a recent worksheet, quiz, or score report, I’ll tailor Session 1 immediately. Would you prefer to start this week or next week?

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I help students build a strong bridge from arithmetic to algebra by strengthening core skills such as integers, fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions, percents, and basic equations. Sessions focus on clearing up confusion, building accuracy, and helping students develop the confidence and problem-solving habits needed for success in Algebra 1.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I help students master Algebra 2 with clear instruction, targeted practice, and measurable progress. We start by identifying the exact skills causing missed points, then focus on the highest-impact topics such as functions (polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic), complex numbers, sequences, and conic sections. Sessions include guided problem-solving, error-pattern correction, and test prep, with clear between-session practice so students become more accurate and confident over time.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

As a certified educator with over ten years of classroom experience, I specialize in helping elementary students build strong mathematical foundations. I’ve worked with students from diverse backgrounds and learning profiles, including gifted learners, English language learners, and students with IEPs or 504 plans. My sessions are designed to strengthen number sense, build fluency, and boost confidence in problem-solving. Whether your child is working on basic operations, fractions, word problems, or early algebraic thinking, I tailor instruction to their pace and learning style — helping them grow into capable, independent math thinkers.
Executive Functioning

Executive Functioning

I coach students in executive functioning by building practical, repeatable systems for planning, organization, time management, and follow-through. We identify where breakdowns are happening, then set up a simple weekly structure students can run independently: assignment tracking, prioritization, work blocks, and accountability check-ins. My background as an Academic Math Coach and former department chair helps me support students who are capable but inconsistent due to routines, transitions, and academic overwhelm. Families typically see greater independence, consistency, and reduced stress at school and at home.
Geometry

Geometry

I help students build Geometry mastery through clear instruction, targeted practice, and measurable progress. We focus on the skills that most often drive grades and test performance, including angle relationships, triangles, similarity, congruence, circles, coordinate geometry, and proofs. Sessions emphasize diagram literacy, step-by-step reasoning, and error-pattern correction so students become more accurate, confident, and efficient on quizzes and exams.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I guide students through the essential bridge between arithmetic and algebra, covering integers, fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions, percents, and basic equations. My approach ensures students feel confident and fully prepared to succeed in Algebra 1.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I help students master Precalculus topics including functions, trigonometry, unit circle relationships, logarithms, limits, and algebraic reasoning so they can perform with confidence in class and transition successfully into Calculus. Each session focuses on clear problem setup, step-by-step reasoning, and correction of common error patterns so students improve accuracy, speed, and test performance.
Probability

Probability

I teach probability concepts in a way that’s clear and practical. Students learn how to calculate probabilities, interpret outcomes, and understand combinations, permutations, independent and dependent events, and expected value — skills that connect directly to real-world applications and advanced math courses.
Reading

Reading

I help students strengthen reading comprehension, vocabulary, and evidence-based analysis so they can understand complex texts and respond to questions with clarity and confidence. Students learn how to identify main ideas, track details, make inferences, and support answers with textual evidence. Sessions focus on structured reading strategies that improve performance in school assignments and on exams such as the Digital SAT Reading & Writing section.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I help students raise Digital SAT Math scores by targeting the highest-yield problem types and improving accuracy, pacing, and consistency under time pressure. We start with a short diagnostic to identify the exact skills costing points, then follow a structured plan focused on algebra, advanced math, data analysis, and geometry/trigonometry. Each session includes timed practice, error-pattern correction, and strategy coaching, with clear between-session assignments.
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

I help students raise Digital SAT Reading & Writing scores by targeting the highest-yield question types and improving accuracy, pacing, and evidence-based reasoning. We start with a short diagnostic to identify the exact question types costing points. Then we follow a structured weekly plan using targeted drills, timed sets, and an error-log system that eliminates repeat mistakes. Each session builds speed, confidence, and consistent execution under time pressure, with clear between-session assignments.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I help middle school and high school students build practical systems for organization, planning, task initiation, follow-through, and test preparation so they can manage school more independently and with less stress. Sessions focus on building a repeatable weekly system for assignment tracking, prioritization, time-blocking, and test planning, with clear between-session tasks so progress is structured, measurable, and sustainable.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I have more than fifteen years of experience helping students master trigonometry, including right triangle relationships, the unit circle, identities, and modeling problems. My background as an Academic Math Coach allows me to simplify challenging concepts and strengthen problem solving skills quickly. Students gain clarity, confidence, and consistent accuracy through structured lessons and targeted practice. I prepare learners for classroom success, state exams, and SAT style trigonometry questions.

Knowledgeable and patient

My son has had many tutors over the years, but none have connected with him the way Fanta does. She is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and has a special way of making learning feel easy and comfortable for him. Luke looks forward to his sessions and doesn’t want to work with anyone else but her. Since working with Fanta, he’s gained so much confidence, not just academically, but in how he approaches learning overall. Her patience and ability to meet him where he’s at have truly made all the difference. I can’t recommend her enough!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Crystal. Working with Luke has been such a joy. Watching his confidence and skill grow each week is exactly why I love what I do. I truly appreciate your trust and partnership in his learning journey. Warmly, Fanta

Amazing!

Fanta is helping my 8th grader with Algebra 1 and after only one lesson, her confidence has skyrocketed!! We most definitely will continue to use her throughout high school and beyond!

Thank you so much, Lisa. It has been wonderful working with your daughter and watching her confidence grow so quickly. I’m so proud of the effort she’s already putting into Algebra, and I’m excited to keep building on her momentum throughout the school year. Warmly, Fanta

Great Tutor

I worked with Fanta to prepare for the SAT Math section, and it changed how I felt about math completely. Before we started, I was overwhelmed by word problems and felt stuck when I did not understand something right away. Fanta broke things down in a way that finally made sense. She did not just teach me how to get the right answers. She helped me build confidence and showed me how to approach each question calmly and strategically. When I took the SAT, I actually felt ready. My math score went up by over 100 points, and I left the test feeling proud. If you want a tutor who is both smart and genuinely supportive, I highly recommend her.

Thank you so much, London. I’m incredibly proud of how much effort you put into your SAT prep and how you learned to approach each question with confidence and strategy. Watching your growth and seeing that 100-point increase was so rewarding. I’m thrilled that you felt ready and proud on test day. Warmly, Fanta
