I am a dedicated and results-driven educational professional with over 15 years of experience providing individualized support in mathematics and physics. With a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics from UCLA and a Master’s degree in Mathematics from Emporia State University, I specialize in tutoring students from grades 6 through college, helping them master complex concepts and build confidence in their problem-solving abilities. My approach is tailored to each student's unique learning style, ensuring they develop a deep understanding of mathematical principles.
I adopt a coaching-based tutoring methodology, guiding students to discover solutions rather than simply providing answers. Through strategic questioning, interactive demonstrations, and problem-solving activities, I encourage critical thinking and independent learning. This approach fosters not only subject mastery but also self-confidence and academic resilience, preparing students for long-term success.
One of my most rewarding experiences as a tutor was working with Issa, a student I began tutoring in July 2017. Initially, she struggled with math and lacked confidence in her abilities. I started by reinforcing fundamental concepts and providing structured learning strategies. Over time, her passion for mathematics flourished. Two years later, Issa’s school assessments showed remarkable improvement—she scored two levels above her standard math grade! Seeing her transformation from a struggling student to one who couldn't put down her math practice book was truly inspiring.
Beyond tutoring, I enjoy dining, camping, and reading. Exploring new cuisines, spending time outdoors, and immersing myself in thought-provoking literature help me bring creativity and a well-rounded perspective to my teaching.
