About
My service stands out because I try my best to make my students feel comfortable and confident in their skills. While I do aim to build proficiency in math and help them know how to solve a problem, I also help my students gain a confidence in their own abilities. This confidence, I believe, is what helps them succeed as they no longer second guess that they know what they’re doing.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I generally try to talk to the student about what math topics they’ve struggled with in the past and then give them a few practice questions. Then I can assess where their problems are.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I worked as a math tutor at a Mathnasium franchise for two years and I was also top 1% of my high school. Now I'm a history major in the honors college at Baylor Universiry who teaches Pre-Calculus to the student athletes here.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Contact me with details, but my rate is generally $30 an hour.
How did you get started teaching?
I started free-lance teaching high school math about four years ago and then I worked as a tutor at a tutoring center three years ago. Now I tutor the student athletes at my university in math.
What types of students have you worked with?
I’ve worked with a number of different students including children with dyslexia, ADHD, and those on the spectrum.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would look for a teacher that makes you (or your student) confident in their ability to both teach you and help you develop the confidence and skills to be successful in math. By both teaching you the subject and helping instruct you on how to approach a new problem, a good teacher can give the skills to succeed even after they've stopped teaching you.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I think that a student should consider both what they hope to get from a session, progress wise, and who they feel they would be most comfortable learning from. Do they prefer a tutor that is similar in age and experience to their teacher? Or are they looking for a tutor that’s closer in age to them and would make them feel more at ease? Determining one’s comfort level when it comes to what they want from a tutor is important to have a successful session.
