I am a high school mathematics teacher with 16 years of experience teaching courses ranging from Algebra through Calculus III, with a particular specialization in Calculus. I have a strong record of success in AP Calculus BC, with more than 70% of my students earning a 5 on the AP Exam. I also teach Dual Credit Calculus III and have had many students enter college with credit for Calculus I, II, and III.

I am a high school mathematics teacher with 16 years of experience teaching courses ranging from Algebra through Calculus III, with a particular specialization in Calculus. I have a strong record of success in AP Calculus BC, with more than 70% of my students earning a 5 on the AP Exam. I also teach Dual Credit Calculus III and have had many students enter college with credit for Calculus I, II, and III.
I earned undergraduate degrees in Mathematics, with a specialization in Mathematics Education, and Computer Science from Illinois State University, as well as a master's degree in Mathematics from DePaul University. In addition to classroom teaching, I routinely tutor students privately throughout the school year, including weekly one-on-one sessions at local libraries. I also spent several years tutoring at Huntington Learning Center and Kumon.
My tutoring philosophy emphasizes understanding rather than memorization. I want students to know not only how to arrive at the correct answer, but why their reasoning works and how to articulate their understanding. I adapt my explanations to each student's needs and work to identify and strengthen gaps in their mathematical foundation.
I particularly enjoy preparing students for the AP Calculus AB and BC Exams. I have access to an extensive collection of Free Response and multiple-choice questions that I am willing to share and work through with students. I can also provide a structured, rigorous AP preparation plan focusing on co
I graduated from Illinois State University with an undergraduate degree in Mathematics (with a specialization in education) and Computer Science. I also obtained a Masters in Mathematics from DePaul University.
My goal is to work with students and be able to teach them in a way that they comprehend not only the work, but also demonstrate the ability to teach others. I feel that true success in mathematics goes beyond getting and answer but rather understanding why the work is correct and being able to articulate their understa
