"No matter where you are on your journey, let me help you learn, succeed, and also enjoy math. I specialize in Prealgebra, Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2 as well as Elementary and some Advanced courses. If you live in New York State, I am the best choice to help you prepare, pass, and achieve college readiness scores for the Regents exams.

Math has been a passion for my entire life. I don't just enjoy solving problems on my own, but I love taking students on their own skill building journeys. I am successful because I quickly get to the root of misunderstandings by stripping back to the math fundamentals and reinforcing the building blocks needed for advancement.

I earned my BS in Mathematics in 2003 and spent 10 years in the Actuarial Science field. In search of a more rewarding experience, in 2013 I began volunteer tutoring math fundamentals for low-income students as well as SAT preparation. Though I have spent the most time tutoring middle school and high school students, I also have experience with adult learners and elementary school aged children. My goal is always to dig deep enough to get to the place where there is an understanding and relate the knowledge that you already know to the new concepts troubling you now. I will not make assumptions about what you know and will reinforce the foundations so new material has stable ground to grow.

My desire to help those most in need, led me to pursue an alternative certification program resulting in achieving a Master's degree in Adolescent Math Education in 2017. I taught public high school math in NYC and currently hold New York State Certification for Mathematics Grades 7-12.

I am down to earth with a silly sense of humor. I don't just want you to learn, I want you to feel comfortable and enjoy yourself during the session. So whatever math skills you need to develop, and no matter your age or prior experience, my approach is simple: Let's figure out where you are, where you want to be, and together let's walk the steps to get you there." less...
