Who am I?
I’m Bex, a lifelong math nerd and cross-disciplinary professional who loves helping students feel confident and capable. I believe learning should be empowering—not overwhelming.

What’s my background?
I earned a double major in Computer Science and Theatre at Pomona College, one of Forbes top-ranked liberal arts colleges in the country, where I learned to balance clear communication with technical thinking—skills I leverage every day in my career to solve complex problems.

What’s my approach?
I believe math is a tool for thinking—not just a subject with right and wrong answers. My goal is to empower divergent and marginalized students to build understanding over memorization. I build on students' strengths to develop strategies to meet their needs, reduce stress, and grow confidence.

Why math?
Because math helps us think clearly, spot patterns, and solve real problems. It’s not about perfection—it’s about learning how to approach the unknown with curiosity and courage.

Wonderful tutor

Was a great help to our daughter with geometry and trig. She is punctual and very personable. We have only used her twice so far but our daughters grade went up a letter so far.
