With 28 years of dedicated mathematics teaching experience, I bring a proven track record of helping students not just pass their courses, but truly understand and excel in mathematics. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Science from Penn State University and a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction, combining deep mathematical expertise with advanced training in effective teaching methods. I have taught every level of middle and high school mathematics in both public and private school settings, from foundational algebra through advanced AP Calculus. One example of the results I've seen with my students: nearly 90% of my AP Calculus students pass the AP exam—well above the national average. I'm regularly invited to speak at national and international education conferences and lead professional development workshops for teachers across the globe.
My teaching style adapts to each student's learning needs. Whether working one-on-one or in classroom settings, I focus on building genuine understanding rather than memorization. I help students see the "why" behind mathematical concepts, making connections that stick. My actuarial background allows me to show real-world applications that make abstract concepts tangible and relevant. Whether your student needs help catching up, staying on track, or getting ahead, I provide patient, personalized instruction that meets them where they are. My decades of experience mean I've seen every type of learning challenge and know how to guide students through them successfully.
