Teaching & Mentorship Approach
I understand firsthand how important it is to have a mentor—during my graduate studies, I often credit my statistics tutor for helping me achieve my first advanced degree. That lesson shaped my teaching philosophy: meet students where they are, break down complex material into simple steps, and build confidence through encouragement.
• Patient, clear explanations tailored to your learning style
• Flexible scheduling with a 2-hour cancellation policy
• Initial no-cost consultation to set goals and expectations
• Online or neutral meeting locations for your convenience
Beyond the Classroom
Outside of tutoring, I’ve coached intramural and youth football for over 10 years, which sharpened my skills in motivating, mentoring, and building confidence in young learners.
