Hello! I am a NYC Department of Education high school Math teacher with over 12 years of experience working with students of diverse backgrounds, skill levels, and learning needs. I currently work in a GED program, where I prepare young adults and students who did not complete high school due to life circumstances—such as housing instability, court involvement, or other significant challenges—for success on the GED Math exam. I focus on strengthening foundational skills, teaching effective test-taking strategies, and rebuilding academic confidence. As a teacher in New York City high schools, I am serving an exceptionally diverse student population that includes students from all over the world, many of whom are multilingual learners, first-generation students, or adjusting to new academic systems. This experience has shaped my ability to provide culturally responsive, differentiated instruction tailored to each student.
I hold a Master’s degree in Mathematics Education from the Touro College School of Education in NYC and have extensive experience tutoring Algebra, Pre-Algebra, Geometry, and GED Math. My tutoring approach emphasizes individualized instruction, clear explanations, and breaking complex concepts into manageable steps. I prioritize conceptual understanding, real-world applications, and problem-solving strategies rather than rote memorization. Each session is structured yet flexible, allowing for targeted remediation, exam preparation, and measurable progress toward student goals.
As a military veteran, I bring structure, organization, and accountability to my tutoring while maintaining patience and encouragement. I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students feel safe asking questions and taking academic risks. Whether you are a high school student or a young adult working toward a GED after an interrupted educational path, my goal is to help you build confidence, independence, and long-term success in mathematics.
