Hello prospective students! I have taught high school for 26 years (and middle school for 5 years before that) and am excited to begin tutoring online. I particularly love calculus and precalculus but am happy to support you for other math classes as well. I am delighted to share that last year my 44 AP calculus AB students earned 35 5's and 9 4's on the AP calculus exam and it would be my pleasure to help you be just as successful as they were.

Hello prospective students! I have taught high school for 26 years (and middle school for 5 years before that) and am excited to begin tutoring online. I particularly love calculus and precalculus but am happy to support you for other math classes as well. I am delighted to share that last year my 44 AP calculus AB students earned 35 5's and 9 4's on the AP calculus exam and it would be my pleasure to help you be just as successful as they were.
I aim to help students develop an understanding of math that is deeper than simple algebraic manipulation. When my students ask me questions in the classroom I listen to hear the question behind the question and address the source of confusion, rather than just showing them how to solve a particular problem. Though, if you want me to simply help you with a couple of tough problems, I am in for that too!
I am excited to meet you and help you with whatever you need. Looking forward to it!
