I am a middle school math teacher with 13 years of experience teaching in Chicago Public Schools. I specialize in working with students in grades 6–8, helping them build strong foundations in key areas such as ratios, percentages, fractions, solving equations, and pre-algebra. I hold a bachelor’s degree in elementary education with math and science endorsements, as well as a master’s degree in bilingual education and an ESL endorsement. In addition to math, I also teach Spanish and have extensive experience supporting students in both English and Spanish.
I have extensive experience working with diverse learners and providing differentiated instruction to meet students where they are. I focus on individualized support based on each student’s needs and regularly incorporate spiral review to reinforce skills over time and improve retention. I also emphasize real-world problem solving and encourage students to think critically, helping them understand how math applies beyond the classroom. I have worked with students in whole-group, small-group, and one-on-one settings.
My tutoring approach is patient, structured, and personalized. I break down concepts into clear, manageable steps and focus on building both understanding and confidence. I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and developing their skills at their own pace.
