My approach is patient, clear, and focused on building true understanding—not just memorizing steps.

I tutor:
• Calculus I, II, III
• Linear Algebra & Differential Equations
• Probability & Statistics (including AP Statistics)
• Precalculus, Algebra I/II, and Trigonometry
• GRE / SAT / ACT quantitative sections

Sessions are available in person in the Richmond area (Fan, Museum District, West End, Short Pump) or online via Zoom—whatever works best for you. Whether you’re struggling with a tough college course, preparing for an AP exam, or aiming for a top GRE score, I’ll meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.

Let me know if you’d like a custom rate for ongoing weekly sessions or small-group tutoring.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

With a strong background in Algebra 1, I have extensive experience tutoring key concepts like linear equations, inequalities, functions, polynomials, rational expressions, and systems of equations. My approach emphasizes developing a deep understanding of foundational principles and applying them to solve problems. I focus on building problem-solving skills, fostering critical thinking, and helping students gain confidence in their ability to tackle challenging problems independently. Through patient guidance and clear explanations, I make abstract concepts more accessible and engaging for all learners.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have a strong foundation in Algebra 2 and experience tutoring students in key topics such as quadratic equations, functions, rational expressions, logarithms, polynomials, and systems of equations. My approach focuses on identifying each student’s challenges and breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps. Through targeted practice, real-world examples, and consistent feedback, I help students build both skills and confidence. My goal is to ensure lasting success in high school math and prepare students for advanced coursework.
Calculus

Calculus

I have extensive experience tutoring Calculus 1, Calculus 2, and Multivariable Calculus, covering topics such as limits, derivatives, integrals, series, and partial derivatives. I’m skilled in techniques like the power rule, chain rule, integration by parts, u-substitution, partial fractions, and Taylor series. My approach breaks down complex calculus concepts into clear, manageable steps and reinforces understanding through targeted practice problems. I aim to help students succeed in their coursework while building a strong foundation for future studies in STEM, physics, and engineering.
Geometry

Geometry

With a strong foundation in mathematics, I have a comprehensive understanding of geometry and extensive experience tutoring geometry. I help students grasp essential topics such as angles, congruence, similarity, the Pythagorean theorem, and the properties of various shapes. My approach focuses on breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, using visual aids and real-world examples to make abstract ideas more relatable. By offering personalized lessons and fostering a positive, supportive environment, I aim to not only improve grades but also instill a lasting appreciation for geometry.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have extensive experience tutoring prealgebra, helping students build a solid foundation in essential math concepts such as operations with integers, rational numbers, linear equations, inequalities, ratios, proportions, and percentages. I also introduce fundamental geometry concepts like area, perimeter, and volume, along with basic graphing skills and data interpretation. My approach is focused on making math accessible and engaging, while developing problem-solving strategies and boosting student confidence. Through personalized lessons and patient guidance, I help students progress from their current skill level toward academic success.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have a strong foundation in precalculus, with experience tutoring key topics such as functions, trigonometry, complex numbers, and polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions. My approach focuses on deep understanding and application of concepts without reliance on calculators, in line with rigorous testing conditions. I teach problem-solving techniques for topics like graphing, transformations, and analytical equation solving. My goal is to help students gain mastery and confidence, equipping them to approach challenging problems with clarity and precision.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I have a strong grasp of trigonometric concepts and experience tutoring students in key topics such as sine, cosine, tangent, the unit circle, and trigonometric identities. My approach emphasizes building a solid foundation in both the theory and application of trigonometry, focusing on problem-solving strategies and real-world examples. I use clear explanations and visual aids to make abstract concepts more accessible, helping students boost their grades and build confidence. With tailored lessons, I address individual challenges and help students develop a lasting understanding that supports their success in future math courses.
