Bio

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Finance and an MBA in Supply Chain Management, both of which required strong quantitative and analytical skills. Before working in business, I spent five years as a certified middle school math teacher in DeKalb County, Georgia. In that role I taught students in grades 6–8, covering subjects from pre-algebra through algebra and geometry foundations.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Finance and an MBA in Supply Chain Management, both of which required strong quantitative and analytical skills. Before working in business, I spent five years as a certified middle school math teacher in DeKalb County, Georgia. In that role I taught students in grades 6–8, covering subjects from pre-algebra through algebra and geometry foundations. Those years gave me valuable insight into how students learn math, where they typically struggle, and how to explain concepts in multiple ways until they “click.”

My classroom experience taught me the importance of patience and adaptability. Every student approaches math differently, so I use a step-by-step approach that starts with diagnosing gaps in understanding and then building confidence through clear explanations and guided practice. I often incorporate visual methods, real-world examples, and problem-solving strategies that help students connect math to everyday life. Parents frequently shared that their children not only improved their grades but also felt less anxious about math after working with me.

In addition to classroom teaching, I have provided one-on-one support for middle and high school students, including help with homework, test preparation, and standardized exams such as the SAT and ACT. My strength lies in breaking down abstract ideas into manageable parts and encouraging students to ask questions without fear of judgment. Whether online or in-person, my goal is always the same: to make math approachable, to help students master the skills they need now, and to prepare them with the confidence to succeed in future courses.

Common Core

Common Core

As a former middle school math teacher, I have hands-on experience teaching Common Core standards across grades K–8. I understand the methods schools use today, from number lines to visual models, and I can explain them in ways that make sense to both students and parents. My approach focuses on building deep understanding while also giving students practical strategies to solve problems with confidence. Whether your child needs homework help or a boost in test prep, I make Common Core math approachable and less stressful.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I am a former certified middle school math teacher with four years of classroom experience, and I regularly worked with students in grades K–6 to build strong math foundations. My teaching style focuses on patience and clarity, helping younger learners master essential skills such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and early problem solving. I am familiar with Common Core methods and can bridge the gap between how math is taught in schools today and how parents may have learned it. My goal is always to boost both skills and confidence so students feel ready for the next level.
