I’m a certified teacher with over a decade of classroom and tutoring experience, and I hold a Master’s degree from Stanford University Graduate School of Education in Organization and Leadership. In addition to teaching, I’ve served as an Academic Dean in New York City, where I trained teachers, designed professional development, and supported hundreds of students in reaching their full potential.

Beyond the classroom, I’ve helped students prepare for the ISEE test, successfully guiding them to achieve admission into some of the top private schools in the area. My clients not only mastered the content, but also built the confidence and resilience needed to perform under high-stakes pressure.

What sets me apart? I bring the dual perspective of both a teacher and a school leader. I understand curriculum inside and out, but more importantly, I know how to make math click for students. My students consistently grow in confidence, skills, and motivation because I combine high expectations with encouragement and care.

My Approach
•I specialize in making challenging math concepts simple, clear, and approachable.
•I use engaging, real-world examples so students see the relevance of math in their everyday lives.
•I prioritize building self-esteem and resilience, ensuring students become confident, independent learners.

Why Choose Me
•Stanford Graduate School of Education alum with deep expertise in learning and leadership.
•Certified teacher and former Academic Dean with proven results in both classrooms and one-on-one tutoring.
•Extensive tutoring experience in math, including success with private school entrance exams (ISEE).
•Compassionate, positive, and results-driven.
•References available upon request.

If you’re looking for a tutor who combines world-class training, real leadership experience, and a proven track record of student success — I’d love to work with you.
