I am a Texas-certified secondary mathematics teacher with more than 10 years of classroom experience helping middle and high school students make sense of math, strengthen skills, build confidence, and become independent problem-solvers. I also hold an all-grade special education certification, which helps me support students with learning differences, attention challenges, working-memory needs, and math anxiety. I have a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a master’s degree in Educational Technology.

I have taught as a general education math teacher, interventionist, inclusion teacher, resource math teacher, and online Pre-Calculus instructor through The University of Texas at Austin. My experience spans middle school math through Pre-Calculus, including Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Mathematical Models, and individualized high school math.

My tutoring style is calm, patient, and structured. I find where confusion begins, break problems into manageable steps, connect procedures to meaning, and use gradual release: I model first, we practice together, then the student works independently with feedback. I use guided questions, visual models, shared whiteboards, and digital tools when they help a student understand. Math is not a spectator sport, and wrong answers are clues.

I understand math frustration personally because I once hated math. In school, teachers made it feel lifeless and painfully boring. I checked out, fell behind, and entered college with major gaps. Later, I rebuilt those skills through long hours in tutoring labs and discovered that math was not the problem—the way it had been taught to me was. I worked my way from developmental courses into advanced mathematics, earned excellent grades, and completed my mathematics degree. That experience is why I teach this way: the right explanation and real success can change what a student believes is possible.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I help Algebra 1 students build the skills and confidence they need for success in high school math. I’m a certified secondary math and special education teacher with a B.S. in Mathematics, a minor in Secondary Education, and over 10 years of experience teaching and supporting students in math. Algebra 1 can become frustrating when students are still building confidence with equations, graphing, functions, integers, fractions, word problems, and problem-solving. I help students identify what is getting in the way, fill in missing skills, and develop a clear process they can use more independently. My goal is to help students improve their grades, feel more confident in class, and build a stronger foundation for future courses like Geometry, Algebra 2, and Pre-Calculus. I work well with students at all levels, including students who feel behind, students receiving special education services, and students who are ready for more challenge.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Algebra 2 can become frustrating quickly when earlier skills like solving equations, factoring, graphing, or working with functions are not fully solid. I help students figure out where the confusion starts, rebuild the skills they need, and develop a clear process they can use more independently. I’m a certified secondary math and special education teacher with a B.S. in Mathematics, a minor in Secondary Education, and over 10 years of experience teaching and supporting students in math. I have taught middle school and high school courses in Texas up through Pre-Calculus, including Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Algebraic Reasoning, Mathematical Models with Applications, and Pre-Calculus. I work well with students at all levels, including students who feel behind, students who need help filling in missing skills, students receiving special education services, and advanced students who want a deeper understanding. Some students need help keeping up with class. Some freeze on tests. Some just need the material explained in a way that finally clicks. In Algebra 2, I help with factoring, functions, graphing, systems of equations, quadratics, radicals, logarithms, complex numbers, rational expressions, and solving equations. My goal is to help students improve their grades, rebuild confidence, and become stronger, more independent problem-solvers.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I’m a certified math and special education teacher with over 10 years of experience helping students build confidence and succeed in math. I have a B.S. in Mathematics, a minor in Secondary Education, and experience teaching and supporting students across a wide range of ability levels, learning needs, and past experiences with math. For elementary math, I focus on helping students build strong foundations with number sense, basic operations, fractions, decimals, word problems, problem-solving strategies, and math confidence. I meet students where they are, explain concepts in clear and approachable ways, and help them experience small wins that build toward stronger skills and more independence. My goal is to help students feel less frustrated, more capable, and better prepared for the math they are learning now and the math they will need later.
GED

GED

I help GED students build the skills, confidence, and test-readiness they need to move forward. I’m a certified math and special education teacher with a B.S. in Mathematics, a minor in Secondary Education, an M.Ed. in Educational Technology, and over 10 years of experience teaching and supporting students in math and academic skill-building. For GED support, I focus on helping students strengthen the core skills tested on the exam, especially math, problem-solving, reading comprehension, writing, grammar, science reasoning, and social studies concepts. I help students identify gaps, break confusing topics into clear steps, and practice strategies they can use on test day. My approach is patient, structured, and practical. Whether a student is returning to school after time away, trying to overcome past frustration, or working toward a specific goal, I focus on steady progress, confidence, and helping them feel prepared for the next step.
Geometry

Geometry

I help Geometry students make sense of the diagrams, formulas, vocabulary, and logical reasoning that can make the course feel very different from Algebra. I’m a certified secondary math and special education teacher with a B.S. in Mathematics, a minor in Secondary Education, and over 10 years of experience teaching and supporting students in math. Geometry can be challenging because students have to combine visual thinking, algebra skills, measurement, proofs, and problem-solving. I help students slow down, understand what a diagram is showing, identify the information they need, and build a clear process for solving problems. I can help with angles, triangles, polygons, circles, area, volume, coordinate geometry, similarity, congruence, right-triangle relationships, trigonometry, and proofs. My goal is to help students improve their grades, build confidence, and become more independent problem-solvers.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I help Prealgebra students strengthen the skills they need before Algebra 1 becomes overwhelming. I’m a certified secondary math and special education teacher with a B.S. in Mathematics, a minor in Secondary Education, and over 10 years of experience teaching and supporting students in math. Prealgebra is often where gaps in number sense, fractions, decimals, integers, equations, word problems, and problem-solving start to show up. I help students figure out what is getting in the way, rebuild missing skills, and develop a clear process they can use more independently. My goal is to help students improve their grades, build confidence, and feel prepared for the next level of math. I work well with students at all levels, including students who feel behind, students who need foundational skill-building, students receiving special education services, and students who are ready for a stronger challenge.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I’m a certified secondary math and special education teacher with a B.S. in Mathematics, a minor in Secondary Education, and over 10 years of experience teaching and supporting students in math. I have taught middle school and high school courses in Texas up through Pre-Calculus, including Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Algebraic Reasoning, Mathematical Models with Applications, and Pre-Calculus. Precalculus can be challenging because it pulls together many earlier skills: algebra, functions, graphing, trigonometry, equations, logarithms, and problem-solving. I help students figure out where the confusion starts, strengthen the skills they need, and develop a clear process they can use more independently. I can help with functions, graphing, polynomial and rational expressions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometry, identities, equations, complex numbers, and applications. My goal is to help students improve their grades, build confidence, and feel better prepared for the next math course.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I help students build the study habits, organization, and confidence they need to be more successful in school. I’m a certified special education and secondary math teacher with over 10 years of experience supporting students with a wide range of learning needs, confidence levels, and school experiences. For study skills support, I help students learn how to break assignments into manageable steps, organize materials, plan ahead, track deadlines, prepare for quizzes and tests, take useful notes, and study in a way that actually helps them remember and apply what they are learning. My approach is patient, structured, and practical. I meet students where they are, identify what is getting in the way, and help them build routines they can use more independently. My goal is to help students feel less overwhelmed, more prepared, and more confident in their ability to succeed.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I’m a certified secondary math and special education teacher with a B.S. in Mathematics, a minor in Secondary Education, and over 10 years of experience teaching and supporting students in math. I have taught middle school and high school courses in Texas up through Pre-Calculus, including Geometry, Algebra 2, Algebraic Reasoning, Mathematical Models with Applications, and Pre-Calculus. Trigonometry can be challenging because it connects algebra, geometry, graphs, ratios, identities, and abstract thinking all at once. I help students slow the process down, understand what the symbols and formulas mean, and build a reliable approach they can use on homework, quizzes, and tests. I can help with right-triangle trigonometry, sine, cosine, tangent, unit circle concepts, graphing trig functions, inverse trig functions, identities, equations, and applications. My goal is to help students improve their grades, rebuild confidence, and become stronger, more independent problem-solvers.
