As a certified Texas high school math teacher currently teaching in a top-rated public school district, I bring extensive classroom and individualized tutoring experience to my students. I hold a master‘s degree in Electrical Engineering and an active Texas teaching certification (Math 7 -12), providing me with a rigorous foundation in secondary math education. Throughout my career, I have specialized in guiding high school students through courses ranging from Algebra and Geometry to Pre-Calculus and AP Calculus AB. My background as an active public school educator gives me a deep understanding of current curriculum standards and the specific academic hurdles students face in today's classrooms.

My teaching experience spans several years working directly with students aged fourteen to eighteen in both classroom settings and targeted one-on-one sessions. A primary focus of my instructional work is Digital SAT Math preparation and AP-level test strategy. Having mentored hundreds of high schoolers, I recognize that every student approaches mathematical thinking differently. My methodology centers on identifying specific learning gaps, breaking down intimidating concepts into intuitive steps, and equipping students with efficient problem-solving tools such as Desmos to maximize both speed and accuracy on standardized exams.

When tutoring one-on-one, I tailor my approach to match the student's unique learning speed and goals. Rather than relying on passive memorization, I engage students in an active, problem-driven dialogue where they talk through their logical steps as we tackle challenging problems together. This approach fosters genuine conceptual mastery and long-term self-reliance. Whether a student is aiming to elevate their Digital SAT Math score into the 750-800 range or needs targeted reinforcement for their high school coursework, my objective is to provide a supportive, structured environment that yields measurable score improvements and lasting confidence.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

As a certified high school math teacher, I have extensive experience guiding students through Algebra 1, which serves as the critical foundation for all advanced high school mathematics. I specialize in helping students master core concepts such as linear equations, graphing functions, and complex word problems by breaking them down into clear, intuitive steps. By incorporating interactive visual tools like Desmos and focusing on deep conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization, I ensure my students build lasting confidence. Ultimately, my goal is to transform math anxiety into academic success, equipping students with the robust algebraic skills they need to excel in their current coursework and future standardized tests.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

As a certified high school math teacher, I have extensive daily experience teaching Algebra 2 and know exactly where students typically hit roadblocks. I specialize in breaking down complex and intimidating topics—such as polynomials, rational functions, and logarithms—into intuitive, manageable steps. By integrating powerful Desmos graphing strategies and focusing on active problem-solving, I help students not only boost their current GPA but also build a rock-solid foundation for Pre-Calculus and the SAT.
ASVAB

ASVAB

As a certified high school math teacher, I have extensive experience helping students master the foundational concepts required for both the ASVAB Mathematics Knowledge and Arithmetic Reasoning sections. Since calculators are not permitted on this exam, I focus heavily on building strong mental math skills, quick estimation techniques, and effective strategies for translating complex word problems into simple equations. I break down intimidating topics like fractions, percentages, and basic algebra into intuitive, manageable steps. Ultimately, my goal is to eliminate test anxiety and equip future service members with the competitive AFQT scores they need to unlock their desired military career paths.
Calculus

Calculus

As a certified Texas high school math teacher with 5 years of classroom experience, I specialize in guiding students through AP Calculus AB concepts with clarity and precision. My instruction strictly aligns with College Board standards, helping students master limits, derivatives, and integrals while maintaining a high AP exam pass rate across my advanced math courses. I focus on breaking down complex mathematical proofs into intuitive problem-solving strategies that seamlessly bridge the gap between Precalculus and Calculus. Whether you are preparing for AP Calculus AB exams or aiming to maximize your school GPA, I deliver targeted instruction to build lasting mathematical confidence.
Chinese

Chinese

As a native Mandarin speaker and a certified high school teacher, I bring both authentic language fluency and professional teaching methodologies to every Chinese lesson. I understand that learning a tonal language can be intimidating, so I break down pinyin pronunciation, character stroke order, and grammar into engaging, easy-to-digest steps. Whether you are a beginner wanting to build conversational confidence or a high school student preparing for AP Chinese, I customize my curriculum to meet your exact goals. My structured approach ensures that students go beyond rote memorization to truly master real-world communication and cultural nuances.
Geometry

Geometry

As a certified Texas high school math teacher with 5 years of classroom experience, I specialize in guiding students through the rigorous concepts of High School Geometry. I focus on building intuitive understanding in geometric logic, proofs, coordinate geometry, and introductory trigonometry, bridging the gap between Algebra and advanced mathematics. My targeted teaching approach breaks down complex, multi-step problems into clear logical steps that directly align with school curricula and exam standards. Whether reinforcing foundational skills or aiming for a top-tier GPA, I provide the personalized strategies students need to achieve lasting confidence.
Precalculus

Precalculus

As a certified high school math teacher with dedicated experience teaching AP Precalculus, I know exactly what it takes to succeed at this rigorous level. My students consistently achieve outstanding results, reflected in my 95.5% AP exam passing rate, because I align my teaching strictly with the College Board's standards. I focus on breaking down complex topics like advanced functions, trigonometry, and introductory limits into clear concepts that perfectly bridge the gap between Algebra 2 and Calculus. Whether your goal is to master your current coursework or secure a top score on the AP test, I will provide the targeted strategies you need to build absolute confidence.
SAT Math

SAT Math

As a certified high school math teacher, I have extensive daily experience breaking down the exact algebraic and geometric concepts tested on the Digital SAT. My instruction goes beyond basic review by teaching students highly effective Desmos calculator strategies that maximize both problem-solving speed and accuracy. By utilizing official College Board materials and focusing on individual knowledge gaps, I consistently guide students toward achieving top-tier math scores in the 750 to 800 range.
