I've been tutoring math since 2015, starting with friends and family in Kinshasa, DR Congo. What began as helping people around a kitchen table turned into something I genuinely love doing. There's a specific feeling when a student who came in frustrated walks out saying "oh, that's all it is?" and I've been chasing that feeling for ten years now.

I've been tutoring math since 2015, starting with friends and family in Kinshasa, DR Congo. What began as helping people around a kitchen table turned into something I genuinely love doing. There's a specific feeling when a student who came in frustrated walks out saying "oh, that's all it is?" and I've been chasing that feeling for ten years now.
At the University of Oklahoma, I tutored student-athletes in Calculus, Algebra, and Trigonometry through the Athletics Academic Services program. My students averaged A grades on their exams, and several told me I should be their professor instead. I also taught Precalculus and Trigonometry to incoming engineering students during an intensive 4-week summer transition program, helping them build the foundations they needed before their first college math course. More recently, I worked with K-12 students in algebra through a research-funded tutoring initiative designed to close learning gaps caused by the pandemic. That program taught me how to build tailored lesson plans and adapt my approach for students at very different levels.
My tutoring style comes down to one thing: I meet you where you are. Before I explain anything, I want to understand how you think about the problem, because that tells me exactly where the gap is. From there, I use whatever works for you: visuals, real-world context, interactive problem-solving, or just slowing down and walking through it step by step. My goal is never to solve the problem for you. It's to help you build the confidence to solve it yourself, and eventually teach it to someone else. I tutor Pre-Algebra through Calculus III, Trigonometry, Linear Algebra, Discrete Math, and IB Math AA. I also speak French natively and hold a B.A. in Mathematics and a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Oklahoma, where I'm currently completing my M.S. in Computer Science.
