In high school, I discovered how much I enjoyed teaching math when my calculus teacher asked me to substitute for her in a college course. It was incredibly rewarding to see the “light bulb” come on when students finally understood a challenging concept, and I realized then that teaching was something I truly loved. I went on to graduate from the University of Pittsburgh with a B.S. in Computer Science. With this background, I can provide deeper mathematical insight -- if you would like to incorporate math apps and computer code to enrich your studies, just ask and I’ll be glad to show you how technology and math work hand in hand.
For over 30 years, I have taught in the classroom, lectured via Zoom, and tutored one-on-one, working with students from middle school through college. I’ve learned that no two students think the same way. Some need visual examples, others prefer step-by-step logic, and many benefit from real-world applications that make math more meaningful. My approach is flexible and student-centered: I meet you where you are, adjust the pace as needed, and ensure that you not only understand the material but also feel confident using it.
Teachers and professors sometimes move too quickly, and textbooks can feel dry or overwhelming—that’s where I come in. My goal is to guide you toward those “Aha!” moments when everything clicks, and then reinforce that understanding with practice until it becomes second nature. If you are motivated to learn, I am committed to helping you excel in math.
