I am a certified High School Math Teacher with over a decade of experience and an M.A. from New York University. My background is rooted in high-level mathematics and two passed Actuarial Exams. I taught pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Trig, AP Calculus, AP Statistics, SAT/ACT Math Prep at the high school level, giving me an insider’s understanding of exactly what it takes to achieve top-tier scores.

* I specialize in high-stakes results. My sessions are designed for motivated students who want to dominate the curriculum, score a 5 on their AP exams, or accelerate beyond their current grade level.

* Personalized Academic Strategy
You’re not just getting tutoring sessions: you’re getting a structured, results-driven plan. I look at the big picture and build a roadmap tailored to each student’s goals.

* Targeted Acceleration
I help students get ahead by learning next year’s curriculum in advance. This allows them to skip levels when appropriate and step into honors or advanced tracks feeling fully prepared.

* Elite Test Preparation
With deep experience in AP Statistics and state standardized exams, I teach the specific reasoning, efficient problem-solving methods, and “grader-expected” approaches that lead to top scores.

* Extensive Practice Resources
I provide carefully selected practice materials, mock exams, and focused drills that align directly with each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and goals.

* Strong Mathematical Thinking
Whether we’re reviewing school assignments or exploring more advanced concepts, I train students to think clearly, logically, and with precision like true mathematicians.

I work best with families who value academic excellence and are ready to commit to consistent effort and growth.

Make it easy

My son isn’t a math lover. Shirly just made it easy for my son to keep focused and positivity interacting, which surprised me a lot. He seems willing to have more classes with Shirly in the future because Shirly helped him understand much better and solved his confusion.

Worked with Ms. Shirly for AP Calculus AB. Ms. Shirly was very thorough and patient. She also provided some useful tips. She is also very fun and engaging. You won't feel bored. I highly recommend her!
