I help middle and high school students master math, rebuild confidence, and stop feeling lost. I specialize in Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Pre-Calculus for students in grades 8 through 12. I also coach students to perform at a high level on the SAT and ACT math sections.

My tutoring style is calm, structured, and encouraging. I break down complex problems, explain the why behind every step, and guide students through practice until it clicks. We work together. I check for understanding. Confidence comes first. Grades follow 😊

Many students see measurable improvement within weeks. Parents often share that homework time becomes calmer and their child walks into class and tests with more confidence. I work especially well with students who feel stuck, frustrated, or behind. I meet students where they are, build momentum, and move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

Every student learns differently. I adapt my teaching, adjust my explanations, and customize each session to match how your child learns best. My goal goes beyond better grades. I aim to build lasting math confidence that carries into future classes and exams.

If your child needs support with Algebra, Pre-Calculus, or math test prep, I would love to help.
