"* HOW TO WORK WITH ME *

Message me with 2-3 suggestions for day+time.

I'm amenable to a free, 10-minute intro talk by phone/Zoom; provide your phone number, not email.

* FAQs *

Sessions are typically 1-2 hours, 1-2x weekly, for homework, subject-material guidance, and test review. But it's up to you! I don't provide materials, although I can give suggestions.

We use Google Meet for face-to-face interaction and screen-sharing, as well as an online whiteboard where we uploads photos of worksheets, post PDFs, and see each other’s writing in real time.

* MY APPROACH *

Focused and encouraging, enthusiastic and personable, I've helped students reach that "light-bulb moment" countless times. I've got your back! Content knowledge is only part of the puzzle, though; problem-solving skills are crucial, so I share tactics on being methodical and help in constructing a system. Check my testimonials to hear from my students!

Effective tutoring is not a one-off, stopgap solution; I often end up working with my students long-term, through their high-school and early-college years.
