About
I have over a decade of experience teaching college-level mathematics to students from a plethora of backgrounds and learning styles. I'm passionate about helping students find the beauty (and utility) in math, and that's what makes me such an effective instructor. I have experience teaching online, and am highly proficient at video conferencing, virtual whiteboards, mathematics visualization software, etc.
I truly enjoy watching students develop mathematical confidence and fluency.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Ph.D. in Mathematics (2011) from the University of Texas at Arlington, and since then I've held faculty positions at the University of Arizona and Saint Mary's College of California. I'm also trained in inquiry-based learning and am familiar with accessibility standards.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
How did you get started teaching?
I've been teaching since high school, when I started my very first job at Emler Swim School. For many years, I taught private and group swim lessons to children as young as 6 months old. In college, I continued this practice by teaching swim-for-fitness and water aerobics classes. When it was time to start thinking about my career options in graduate school, teaching was the obvious choice!
What types of students have you worked with?
Many! As a graduate student, I worked with a lot of non-traditional students (adults who took evening classes to finish up their college degree requirements). In my university and college faculty roles, I worked with primarily "traditional" college students, many of whom were either first-generation or Latinx. I now tutor primarily high school and college students. I also have a lot of experience working with students having (learning) disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and blindness.
