As the owner of a successful tutoring center for over 10 years, I have helped thousands of students build confidence, master challenging concepts, and achieve outstanding academic results. Throughout my career, I have taught more than 30 students who earned perfect scores on the math portion of the SAT or ACT. This year alone, 5 of my 43 test prep students achieved a perfect math score, with many others earning substantial score increases and admission to highly selective colleges. One of my proudest accomplishments was helping an 8th-grade student earn a perfect score on the SAT Math, demonstrating that with the right instruction and preparation, students can excel well beyond their grade level.

I specialize in Algebra I & II, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus, AP Calculus AB/BC, SAT and ACT Math. For students in grades 3–8, I also provide advanced enrichment in competition mathematics, including MOEMS (Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools), AMC 8, AMC 10, and other competitive math programs that strengthen logical reasoning and advanced problem-solving skills.

My teaching philosophy centers on identifying knowledge gaps, building a deep conceptual understanding, and creating personalized learning plans tailored to each student's goals. Whether a student is working toward an A in class, preparing for AP exams, aiming for a top SAT or ACT Math score, or training for national math competitions, I provide structured, engaging instruction that develops confidence, independence, and lasting mathematical success.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

The ACT Math section isn't just a test of mathematical knowledge—it's a test of speed, efficiency, and pattern recognition. Success comes from quickly identifying the type of problem, recognizing the fastest solution strategy, and avoiding unnecessary calculations. With over 10 years of experience as the owner of a successful tutoring center, I teach students how to recognize recurring question patterns, apply time-saving techniques, and make smart decisions under pressure. By combining strong mathematical foundations with proven test-taking strategies, I help students solve problems more accurately, work more efficiently, and maximize their ACT Math scores.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I believe that the strength of a student's mathematical future is built on the foundation they develop in algebra. Every course that follows, geometry, precalculus, calculus, college mathematics, and even standardized tests, relies on the concepts introduced here. My philosophy has always been that math isn't meant to be memorized, it's meant to be understood. When students truly understand the "why" behind each concept, they gain the confidence and critical thinking skills to tackle increasingly complex problems with ease. As the owner of a successful tutoring center with over 10 years of experience, I've helped thousands of students strengthen their foundation, improve their grades, and develop the problem-solving skills needed for long-term success. Whether you're catching up, preparing for advanced courses, or simply wanting to build confidence, I'll help you create the strong foundation that will support your mathematical journey for years to come.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Algebra is more than memorizing formulas, it's about understanding how mathematical ideas connect and building the logical thinking skills needed for future success. With over 10 years of teaching experience and as the owner of a successful tutoring center, I help students develop a strong foundation by breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps. My goal is not only to help students improve their grades but also to build confidence, strengthen problem-solving skills, and foster a deep understanding of algebra that prepares them for higher-level math courses.
AMC (Competition math)

AMC (Competition math)

I have over 10 years of experience teaching competition math and preparing students for AMC exams. My approach goes beyond memorizing formulas and focuses on helping students understand the “why” behind challenging problems, recognize patterns, and develop creative problem-solving strategies. I teach students how to approach unfamiliar questions logically and efficiently while building strong foundations in algebra, geometry, and number theory. My goal is to help students become stronger mathematical thinkers and approach competition problems with greater confidence.
Calculus

Calculus

Calculus is often viewed as one of the most challenging subjects in mathematics, but it doesn't have to be. My philosophy has always been that calculus isn't about memorizing derivative rules or integration techniques, it's about understanding the concepts that make those formulas work. Once students understand the "why," the mathematics becomes logical instead of intimidating. With over 10 years of experience as the owner of a successful tutoring center, I help students develop a deep conceptual understanding of limits, derivatives, integrals, and their real-world applications. Whether you're taking Calculus AB, Calculus BC, college calculus, or preparing for STEM coursework, I'll help you build the confidence, problem-solving skills, and mathematical intuition needed to succeed long after the exam is over.
Geometry

Geometry

I have over 10 years of experience teaching Geometry and helping students develop strong visual and logical reasoning skills. I break complex topics into clear, manageable steps and show students how concepts connect rather than treating each formula or theorem as something separate to memorize. My instruction covers proofs, triangles, similarity, circles, coordinate geometry, transformations, area, volume, and other core Geometry topics. I work with students at all levels, whether they need to strengthen their foundation, improve their grades, or prepare for advanced math.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have over 10 years of experience helping students build the foundational skills needed to succeed in Algebra and higher-level math. I focus on strengthening number sense, fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions, percentages, expressions, equations, and other essential Pre-Algebra concepts. My lessons break challenging topics into clear, manageable steps while helping students become more accurate and confident problem solvers. I also identify and address learning gaps early so students enter Algebra with a strong foundation and are prepared for what comes next.
Precalculus

Precalculus

Precalculus is where students learn to connect everything they've studied in algebra, geometry, and basic trigonometry into one complete mathematical framework. My philosophy is that students don't struggle with precalculus because it's difficult, they struggle because they're missing key foundations from earlier math courses. With over 10 years of experience as the owner of a successful tutoring center, I help students identify and strengthen those gaps while developing the analytical thinking needed for calculus and beyond. Whether you're preparing for AP Pre-Calculus, a refresher for Calculus, engineering, computer science, or simply aiming for an A in class, I'll help you build the confidence and conceptual understanding needed to succeed.
SAT Math

SAT Math

The SAT Math section isn't about memorizing formulas, it's about recognizing patterns and understanding the mathematics behind every question. One of the principles I teach my students is that every SAT Math problem has a logical path to a solution, and with the right approach, most questions can be solved in about 30 seconds. The key isn't rushing—it's learning to recognize patterns, eliminate unnecessary work, and choose the most efficient strategy. As the owner of a successful tutoring center with over 10 years of experience, I have helped thousands of students build the conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills needed to excel. Throughout my career, I have taught more than 30 students who earned perfect scores on the math portion of the SAT or ACT, including 5 perfect math scores among my 43 test prep students this year alone. Whether you're striving for a perfect score or simply looking to maximize your potential, I'll teach you how to think like the SAT test writers, not just how to solve the problems.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I have over 10 years of experience teaching Trigonometry and helping students move beyond simply memorizing the unit circle and formulas. I teach students what sine, cosine, and tangent actually represent and how these functions connect triangles, angles, graphs, and real mathematical relationships. Once students understand these connections, identities, equations, and more advanced trigonometric concepts become much easier to approach. My goal is to build the conceptual foundation and problem-solving skills students need for success in Precalculus, Calculus, and beyond.
