I am a private tutor with over ten years of math teaching experience. I have a bachelor's degree from San Francisco State University and I tutor grades 6-College.

Tutoring Style: 

I love math, and I love teaching math. I adjust my approach to teaching based on what works best for my student; when my student learns fast, my lessons move fast, but when my student is stuck, I think I might be the most patient person on Earth. I value mathematical fundamentals, and I like to help my students develop a deeper understanding of the topic at hand.

Success story: 

I had a student named Arlo, and he had never studied under a good math teacher. I met Arlo just as he started 12th grade, but he had to finish both Algebra 2 and Precalculus before graduation. I worked with him five days a week, and by the end of the year, Arlo had an A in both courses. I still feel amazed by the amount of skill I saw him gain that year. He has since become a very skillful software engineer, and I have never stopped feeling proud of him.

Hobbies and interests: 

I love music, and I have played guitar in punk and indie bands for most of my life. I also love fighting games, and I recently started competing in tournaments for Street Fighter 6 and Smash Bros Ultimate.
