Not sure whether your child is truly ready for Algebra—or worried that acceptable grades may be hiding gaps in fractions, negative numbers, ratios, equations, or multistep problems? I help parents understand what their student knows, identify priority gaps, and create a plan before small problems grow.

Not sure whether your child is truly ready for Algebra—or worried that acceptable grades may be hiding gaps in fractions, negative numbers, ratios, equations, or multistep problems? I help parents understand what their student knows, identify priority gaps, and create a plan before small problems grow.

Many students can follow familiar steps but become confused when a problem looks different. They may rely on memorization, guessing, or extensive help at home without fully understanding the math. I look beyond the final answer to see how the student is thinking, find the earlier skill beneath the mistake, explain the concept clearly, and provide focused practice.

I have a Mathematics degree and an MBA from Emory University and I’ve spent 10 years helping students understand math. I’ve professionally tutored and taught in classrooms for tutoring and test prep organizations. I specialize in making complex ideas easier to understand and creating those lightbulb moments when math finally makes sense.

Lessons use clear explanations, guided examples, targeted practice, error analysis, and independent problem-solving. The goal is not simply to finish homework, but to help students understand why a method works, recognize patterns, and check their answers.

My approach is especially helpful for parents who want to know whether their middle-school student is prepared for Algebra, prevent them from falling behind, or strengthen foundations for high-school math and future Digital SAT success. Parents receive a clear explanation of strengths, priority gaps, and next steps.

I also work with adults preparing for the GRE or GMAT who feel rusty on foundational math. I help rebuild skills such as fractions, percentages, ratios, algebraic manipulation, and word-problem translation, then apply them to test-style questions.

Parents: Send your child’s grade, course, and any main concerns.

Adult test takers: Send the exam practice score, test date and topics to strengthen.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I hold a degree in Mathematics and tutor Algebra 1. I help students who are struggling, losing confidence, or earning acceptable grades while still having gaps in their understanding. By looking at how a student solves problems—not just whether the final answer is correct—I can identify foundational weaknesses and target the concepts that need the most attention. My goal is to help students understand Algebra now while building a stronger foundation for Geometry, Algebra 2, and future standardized-test math.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I hold a degree in Mathematics and have 10+ years of tutoring and teaching. I help parents understand which math skills their child has mastered, which skills need strengthening, and what to prioritize before small gaps become larger problems. Students receive clear, personalized instruction in foundational concepts such as operations, fractions, decimals, patterns, and word problems. This early preparation builds confidence now while creating a stronger foundation for Prealgebra, Algebra, and future math courses.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I hold a degree in Mathematics and have 10+ years of experience tutoring and teaching. I help students strengthen essential skills such as fractions, ratios, negative numbers, expressions, equations, and multistep problem-solving before small gaps become larger Algebra struggles. My approach focuses on understanding how each student thinks, identifying the foundational skill beneath a mistake, and explaining the concept clearly. Parents receive a better understanding of their student’s strengths, priority gaps, and next steps for becoming Algebra ready.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Liss truly exceeded my expectations from our very first session! She immediately connected with my child by introducing herself as their “math coach,” which made them feel comfortable and motivated. She came prepared with diagnostic questions and state standards, and provided clear feedback and a plan to build both math skills and confidence. After the session, my child said, “I really like how she explains things to me.” I’m excited to see the progress they make with Liss!
