Is your student struggling with math, falling behind, or losing confidence? I specialize in helping middle and high school students understand math step by step and become more confident solving problems independently.

**MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL MATH**
I tutor Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Precalculus, Probability & Statistics, and SAT Math. I particularly enjoy Probability and Statistics.

My approach is patient, practical, and tailored to the student. Rather than simply showing how to get an answer, I look for the point where understanding breaks down. I explain difficult concepts in clear steps, work through examples with the student, and help strengthen earlier skills that may be causing problems with current material.

Students can bring homework, upcoming test material, or topics they simply don't understand. My goal is not just to get through tonight's assignment, but to help students develop the skills and confidence to tackle future problems themselves.

**SAS TUTORING**
I also offer specialized SAS tutoring for college students and adults. I have years of professional SAS experience, including using SAS in the federal government with Medicare and Medicaid data and large mainframe environments. I can help with SAS programming, debugging, data processing and analysis, and understanding existing SAS programs.

**EXPERIENCE**
I hold a B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Psychology from the University of Maryland and have extensive professional experience as a software developer. I also have classroom experience as a substitute teacher and communication experience through Toastmasters, where I served as Club President.

Whether your student needs help catching up, preparing for a test, improving a grade, or building stronger math skills, I'll meet them where they are and help them move forward.
