I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Philosophy, as well as a Master’s degree in Linguistics. My academic journey has cultivated a deep love for logical thinking, problem-solving, and language, which I bring into my teaching. These areas of study have provided me with a unique interdisciplinary perspective that enriches the way I approach both math and language instruction.

With over ten years of teaching experience, I have taughthigh school students in Latin and mathematics in small private school settings. Beyond the classroom, I’ve tutored students in math and helped them prepare for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT. My teaching experience also includes teaching English online to children in China. This diverse background has equipped me with the skills to work with students of varying abilities and learning styles.

As a patient and encouraging educator, I believe in fostering a supportive environment where students feel confident to explore and grow. My teaching philosophy centers on the Socratic method, encouraging students to actively engage with material through guided questioning. This approach helps students not only master the content but also develop critical thinking skills and a sense of ownership over their learning journey. My ultimate goal is to inspire students to reach their potential and discover joy in learning.

Approved Subjects

Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I am the second oldest of five children. I was homeschooled, and so I have lots of in-home experience helping younger siblings with elementary subjects. In addition, for the past two years I have taught a course which includes early elementary school English and Latin through a distance learning program. I also have experience privately tutoring elementary school math.
Homeschool

Homeschool

I was raised in a homeschool family, and so I have plenty of experience helping younger siblings with school subjects. I understand how some students are homeschooled so that they can slow down or speed up the work load, and I am able to adjust my teaching style to their individual preferences. For the past three years, I have also taught online classes for a distance learning program, and all of the students are homeschooled.
Linguistics

Linguistics

I have a master's degree in Linguistics and earned a 4.0 GPA. Completed classes include Introduction to Linguistic Theory, Phonology, Syntax, AAVE, Language Evolution, Languages of Asia, and Child Language Acquisition. I have written papers on second language acquisition, linguistic relativity, and animal communication as it relates to human language evolution.
Prealgebra

I graduated with a minor in math. I have four years of tutoring experience in elementary math, pre algebra, and geometry.

Provides good explanations

Maria helped me to understand Latin--especially cases and declensions. She was patient with me and I would highly recommend her. We have only had one session so far but are planning on meeting online regularly.
