About
I love to work 1-on-1 with students to help them achieve their personal best in their mathmatics education. I strive to connect with my students to best meet their needs and adapt my teaching strategies accordingly.
I have been a math tutor in Bakersfield, CA for 13 years and have a Bachelors of Science degree in Mathematics education. I hold a current California Secondary Education Teaching Credential in Mathematics and have 2 years of high school classroom experience.
I specialize in Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Math Analysis (Pre-Calculus), and Calculus.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I start all of my appointments with new students by getting to know them a little bit - what are their likes/dislikes, comfort level with math and previous successes. I then ask what their goals are for the session and meet them at their level with the material. I end every session with some top tips to best move forward.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Mathematics with an emphasis in teaching and I taught in the public high school classroom for almost 3 years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My rate is $60 per hour with the option for half hour increments online.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching in 2014, but started tutoring as I was getting my degree in 2009.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with middle school, high school and college students in all areas of achievement. I work well with students with special needs because I tailor the material and techniques we use to the student's abilities.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently enjoyed going to see Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in theaters with my husband. It's nice to have movies back in theaters after the COVID-19 pandemic.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Do your best to communicate with your teacher/tutor. The more you communicate, the better the teacher can meet your needs and fill gaps in learning. Also, be patient. Your first appointment may not be the best fit for you. Look for a teacher you are comfortable with and makes learning enjoyable.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What type of help are you looking for - a quick study session before a test or ongoing, regular help?
What types of materials do you have to focus the learning sessions?
Do you want the session to use course materials you already have or do you want full lessons taught by your tutor?
