With over 25 years of mathematics education and corporate experience, I hold a PhD and MS in Mathematics from the University of Chicago, an MBA from Rotterdam School of Management, and a Stanford Decision and Risk Analysis Certificate, equipping me to deliver practical, high-impact math tutoring. As a former faculty member at the U.S. Naval Academy, lecturer at the University of Chicago, and instructor at Ohio State University, I’ve taught students from high school to graduate levels in diverse settings, including classrooms, seminars, and one-on-one sessions. My approach blends rigorous problem-solving with real-world applications, drawing on my extensive career in international business and innovation management to make abstract concepts engaging and inspiring. I use real-world examples to help students connect and reinforce learning, ensuring they master both concepts and practical applications.

What sets me apart is my ability to tailor instruction to each student’s needs, fostering confidence and mastery in subjects from algebra to advanced calculus and beyond. While teaching midshipmen at the Naval Academy, I worked to tie calculus concepts to real-world warfighter examples like target analysis and trajectory optimization, which made the math relatable and relevant from the student’s perspective. This informs my method of breaking down complex problems into clear, manageable steps. Parents and students can expect a supportive, nurturing, results-driven tutoring experience that boosts grades, confidence and appreciation.

As a tutor, I create a positive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and tackle challenges. My global experience in international business and technology allows me to connect math to exciting fields like technology and strategic decision-making, sparking curiosity and motivation. With a proven track record of helping students succeed, I enjoy guiding learners toward academic excellence and real-world problem-solving skills.
