About
I have 8 years of professional classroom experience ranging from 7th-12th grade. I have taught classes including 7th-grade math, 8th-grade math, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Advanced Functions and Modeling (AFM). My students exceeded their expected growth on standardized tests
I have experience with one-on-one tutoring for middle school, high school, and college-aged students in math. Students I have tutored have improved their grades as well as their confidence in their mathematical abilities.
I enjoy finding meaningful and unique approaches to help students learn, appreciate, and become confident in their math and problem-solving skills.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to meet with the student (and the parent, if applicable) to discuss the needs and wants. If the student needs homework help, or help with a specific class, I like to dive right into their current assignments and provide extra practice problems as needed to ensure confidence and mastery.
If a student wants to catch up/review/get ahead over the summer, I like to talk about their goals, give an informal assessment to see what we need to work on, and plan topics and practice activities from there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics and education, I have 8 years of experience teaching math at the middle school and high school levels.
How did you get started teaching?
I've always wanted to teach and to help others, as long as I can remember. I majored in Mathematics and Education in college and began teaching upon graduation.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have tutored students with disabilities, including the autism spectrum. I have taught in both public and private schools in inclusive regular education classrooms. I also have experience teaching AIG and Honors classes.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
How often do I need help, and for what length of time?
