About
I am a retired professional educator with 17 years experience teaching high school and college mathematics. Up until recently, I taught at a prestigious private day school school and have also taught part-time at a community college.
I love the moment when a student owns their understanding for the first time. When it finally "clicks" for them. I enjoy working with teens and young adults. Their enthusiasm for life and their sense of humor always makes me smile.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
With a new student, I will first find out how long they've been struggling and on what concepts they are having the most difficulty. We will work some example problems so that I can identify foundational areas for improvement as well as identify areas where they are strong. From there we will address problem areas and create a plan for moving forward while strengthening their foundational skills.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelors and a Masters degree in Mathematics. I have 17 years of experience teaching high school mathematics including Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus and Calculus. I also have 10 years experience teaching at the community college level including courses in Pre-Algebra, Beginning and Intermediate Algebra, and College Algebra. I have tutored students aged 11-25 in all areas of math.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Pricing is dependent upon distance driven to the tutoring location and level of course. We can figure out a rate that works for you-just give me a call!
How did you get started teaching?
I have been passionate about helping others learn since I was young. I actually began tutoring math when I was a high school student. In college I worked in the math tutoring center and in graduate school I was a TA. After finishing my masters, I sought out a position teaching mathematics in secondary schools due to my passion for working with young people and mathematics.
