Bio

I am a high school math teacher and department head at Interlake High School, a top-ranked school in Washington State, with 10 years of teaching experience. I have taught the full range of high school mathematics, including Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, and all IB Mathematics courses—from Applications & Interpretation SL to Analysis & Approaches HL. Currently, I teach over 120 IB Analysis & Approaches HL students and moderate more than 100 IB Math Internal Assessments each year, giving me a...

I am a high school math teacher and department head at Interlake High School, a top-ranked school in Washington State, with 10 years of teaching experience. I have taught the full range of high school mathematics, including Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, and all IB Mathematics courses—from Applications & Interpretation SL to Analysis & Approaches HL. Currently, I teach over 120 IB Analysis & Approaches HL students and moderate more than 100 IB Math Internal Assessments each year, giving me a deep understanding of how students are evaluated and where they typically lose or gain points.

My students consistently perform above the national average on IB exams, and I specialize in helping students not just understand the math, but translate that understanding into higher test scores. I focus on exam-style thinking, clear communication, and the strategies that IB (and other assessments) actually reward. Whether you are trying to build confidence, keep up in class, or push from a 5 to a 6 or 7, I can help you get there.

As both a classroom teacher and coach, I work with students to develop strong problem-solving habits, reduce test anxiety, and approach math with clarity and purpose. I tailor sessions to each student’s needs—whether that’s reinforcing foundational skills or tackling advanced topics—and aim to make each session efficient, supportive, and results-driven.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I teach Algebra 2 with a strong focus on building a solid foundation in functions, equations, and problem-solving skills that carry into higher-level math. As a high school math teacher, I work with a wide range of learners and know how to break down complex topics like quadratics, exponential/logarithmic functions, and systems into clear, manageable steps. I emphasize understanding patterns and connections so students don’t just memorize procedures but actually make sense of the math. Whether you’re trying to keep up in class or get ahead, I tailor sessions to help you build confidence and consistency.
Calculus

Calculus

I teach calculus at the highest high school level, including IB Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches HL, where my students consistently score over a full point above the global IB average. I regularly help students master topics like derivatives, integrals, optimization, and differential equations, from foundational understanding to complex problem-solving. My focus is on building real intuition—helping students understand why concepts work, not just memorizing steps. I also specialize in test preparation, giving students the strategies and confidence to succeed on high-stakes exams.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I teach differential equations every year as part of IB Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches HL, where they are a core and highly important topic. I help students understand both the techniques—like separation of variables, integrating factors, and modeling—and the meaning behind the solutions. My focus is on building strong conceptual understanding so students can confidently approach unfamiliar problems. Whether you’re learning the basics or tackling more advanced applications, I tailor sessions to make differential equations clear and manageable.
Geometry

Geometry

I teach Geometry with a focus on helping students truly understand how and why the math works, not just memorizing formulas. As a high school math teacher, I guide students through topics like proofs, congruence, similarity, and trigonometry by breaking them into clear, logical steps. I help students develop strong reasoning skills and confidence in writing and explaining their thinking, which is often the biggest challenge in Geometry. Whether you need support with proofs or overall understanding, I tailor sessions to make the material approachable and manageable.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I teach Pre-Calculus with a focus on preparing students for success in calculus by building a deep understanding of functions, trigonometry, and advanced algebra. As a high school math teacher, I regularly work with topics like unit circle, transformations, conic sections, and polar coordinates, helping students connect concepts across different representations. I emphasize both conceptual understanding and problem-solving so students feel confident tackling complex, multi-step problems. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your foundation or get ahead for calculus, I tailor sessions to meet your goals.
Probability

Probability

I teach probability with an understanding that it can feel abstract and unintuitive for many students at first. As a high school math teacher, I’ve seen where students struggle, so I focus on breaking concepts down into relatable, real-world situations that make the math more meaningful and even fun. I help students build confidence with topics like conditional probability, distributions, and expected value by connecting ideas step-by-step. My goal is to make probability approachable so students can actually understand what’s happening, not just memorize formulas.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I specialize in SAT Math prep by helping students build both strong content knowledge and effective test-taking strategies. As a high school math teacher, I’m experienced in identifying common mistakes and teaching efficient approaches to maximize scores under time pressure. I focus on key SAT topics like algebra, problem solving, data analysis, and advanced math, while also helping students improve pacing and accuracy. My goal is to help students feel confident and prepared so they can perform their best on test day.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I teach trigonometry with a strong emphasis on understanding the unit circle, special right triangles, and how all trig concepts connect together. With experience teaching IB Mathematics, including the old curriculum’s trig identity proofs, I’m very comfortable helping students simplify expressions and build deeper reasoning skills. I focus on making trig intuitive rather than memorization-heavy, so students actually understand what they’re doing. Whether you’re struggling with fundamentals or more advanced identities, I tailor sessions to help you gain confidence and clarity.
