I am a Yale-educated tutor and teacher with a decade of experience. I assist students in 6th through 12th grades with all math and science classes, English and writing, SAT prep, and college applications. Whether students feel lost, want more support to reach their full potential, or seek an extra boost to get ahead, I help them exceed their goals. My students become confident, independent learners with the self-awareness to know when to ask for help.

I would love to hear from you! You can reach me at the phone or email above, or by filling out the contact me form below. On this website, you can learn about the students I work with, the services I offer, and my approach to tutoring. You can also read testimonials from parents and students.

My Services

The subjects I tutor include:
  • Math: 6th grade through calculus and statistics, including AP and college courses
  • Science: biology, chemistry, and physics for all grade levels including AP
  • English: writing, grammar, and reading comprehension

I provide comprehensive support for the college process, such as:
  • SAT and ACT preparation programs tailored to each student's needs
  • Application essay guidance   
  • College search assistance

I develop and teach custom lessons for:
  • Homeschool courses
  • Vacation review and head start intensives
  • Enrichment and challenge material

My Students

I work with students with a variety of backgrounds and needs. I am experienced working with students who:
  • Have learning differences, disabilities, or academic anxiety
  • Find school too easy and need to be challenged
  • Need support with executive functioning skills like organization and time management
  • Are chronically or acutely ill, or recovering from a period of illness
  • Hope to be admitted to a selective college or university 

My Approach

I strongly believe that students who feel they are bad at math or science just haven't found the support they need to thrive. I help my students develop study skills and problem solving strategies optimized for their strengths. I guide them with thoughtful questions, tapping into knowledge they already possess to lead them to an answer. As they become more confident, learning becomes less stressful and more rewarding.

Nobody likes taking tests, but I make studying for the SAT simple and engaging. I teach any missing content knowledge and show students how to avoid and understand the tricks and traps that are key to doing well on the SAT. Working together, we will identify the best strategy for any problem.
