Hi! I'm Meghan, a former New York City high school math teacher with 10 years of classroom experience and more than 15 years of tutoring experience. I hold a Master's degree in Secondary Math Education from Queens College and a Master's degree from Baruch College in the Scaffolded Apprenticeship Model of School Improvement through Leadership Development, with a focus on educational leadership, improving instruction, and developing strategies to better support student learning.
During my 10 years in the classroom, I primarily taught high school Algebra and Geometry, working with students across a wide range of skill levels and learning styles. I've also tutored students one-on-one and in small groups from elementary math through Algebra 2, as well as students preparing for the Math sections of the SAT and ACT.
One of my favorite parts of teaching is helping a student reach the moment when something that once felt confusing finally clicks. My approach is personalized to each student. I identify what they already understand, where there may be gaps in their foundation, and which explanations or strategies work best for them. From there, we strengthen those skills while working through current material. My goal isn't simply to help students finish an assignment or prepare for the next test, but to help them understand the math, build confidence, and become more independent learners.
For SAT Math, I combine content review with test-taking strategy. I help students identify the concepts and question types costing them points, strengthen those areas, and develop more efficient approaches to solving problems. Whether a student wants to improve a grade, strengthen their math foundation, or work toward a higher SAT Math score, I look forward to helping them make progress and feel more confident in math.
