About

Success in math often hinges on having a supportive environment, mainly because “fear of math” can be so easy to succumb to, creating a lack of confidence that can seriously inhibit learning. I create a positive and encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Together, we'll work through challenges and build your math skills, one step at a time.
