Hi! I'm a math educator and instructional coach with 21 years of experience helping students build confidence and succeed in mathematics. I hold a BA in Mathematics with teaching certification from SUNY Geneseo, a Master's in Adolescent Literacy from St. Bonaventure University, and New York State teaching certification in Mathematics Grades 7–12. Throughout my career, I've worked with students and teachers in Grades 4–12, and one thing I've learned is that every student can grow in math when they have the right support, strategies, and encouragement!

Whether you're struggling with fractions, feeling overwhelmed by Algebra, trying to make sense of Geometry, or preparing for a New York State Regents exam, I'm here to help! As a mathematics instructional coach, I specialize in helping students understand the why behind math instead of just memorizing steps. We'll break challenging concepts into manageable pieces and find strategies that work for YOU. My goal isn't just to help you get the right answer...it's to help you understand how you got there and feel confident doing it on your own.

My tutoring style is patient, supportive, and personalized. No question is silly, mistakes are part of learning, and you never have to feel embarrassed about asking for help. We'll work at your pace, celebrate your progress, and turn those “I just don't get it!” moments into “Ohhh, I get it!” moments. Whether you need to catch up, keep up, get ahead, or prepare for an important test, I'm excited to help you reach your goals. I offer online tutoring after school and on weekends, so let's take the stress out of math and build your confidence one step at a time!
