My path into teaching isn't traditional, and that’s my greatest asset as a tutor. I blend formal classroom experience with real-world engineering and computer science applications. As a full-time public school teacher, my middle school math students achieved the highest state standardized test pass rate in the entire school. Today, I bring that same results-driven focus to 1-on-1 tutoring.

As a full-time public school teacher, my middle school math students achieved the highest state standardized test pass rate in the entire school. Today, I bring that same results-driven focus to 1-on-1 tutoring.
Connecting Math to the Real World
When students ask, "When am I ever going to use this?", I don't give theoretical answers. I draw directly on my multi-faceted career as an Engineering Project Manager, Army Reserve Officer, and EMT. Whether showing how geometry and algebra shape real-world structures or how logic powers video game mechanics, I help students see the "why" behind every formula.
My Teaching Philosophy
Step-by-Step Breakdown: I deconstruct complex math concepts into clear, manageable steps tailored to your student's unique learning style.
Supportive Environment: True learning happens when students feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions without judgment.
Confidence & Mindset: Beyond solving equations, my goal is to build long-term problem-solving skills, academic confidence, and a genuine interest in learning.
