As a math tutor with a background in learning science, I offer personalized support to help students close learning gaps and build confidence in their math skills. Using a supportive, skills-based approach, I focus on helping students strengthen foundational understanding, problem-solving skills, and confidence especially when math has felt frustrating or overwhelming.

Each program is tailored to your child’s individual needs, ensuring they receive the right level of support to make meaningful progress.

In addition to tutoring sessions, I provide several key supports:

A brief initial assessment to better understand your child’s strengths and areas of need

Ongoing progress monitoring to guide instruction and adjust support

Support for learning gaps, organization, and confidence-building

Communication to help families stay informed and supported

A structured, supportive approach that helps students build confidence over time

I look forward to supporting your child and partnering with you throughout their learning journey.

I work with elementary and middle school students, typically in grades 5-8, supporting math learning across foundational skills, pre-algebra, and early algebra concepts. These years are an important bridge, when students begin moving from concrete thinking to more abstract problem-solving. During this stage, small gaps can start to impact confidence and understanding if they aren’t addressed early.

Areas of support include:

📘 Core math skills for upper elementary and middle school

➕ Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1

🧠 Strengthening problem-solving, number sense, and math confidence

Many students understand parts of the material but struggle to apply their thinking consistently or explain their reasoning, which can lead to frustration or self-doubt. While most students fall within this grade range, support may occasionally extend slightly above or below depending on a student’s needs and readiness. The goal is always to meet students where they are and help them build the confidence and understanding needed for long-term success in math.

Most students who seem “bad at math” aren’t actually bad at it. More often, they’ve missed a few important building blocks along the way, and math starts to feel confusing because later skills depend on earlier ones. When that happens, the goal is to figure out what is missing and why it feels hard. Sometimes it’s a foundational skill that never fully clicked. Sometimes it’s rushing, anxiety, or not knowing which step to start with. Once those patterns are clear, the work becomes much simpler: rebuild the missing pieces in a steady, supportive way.

As those core skills become stronger, math usually starts to feel more predictable and less stressful. Confidence improves because the student can see themselves getting it right more often—and they begin to trust their own thinking again.

Students learn in different ways, and learning needs can vary widely from one child to another. Some students may need more time to process information, while others benefit from visual supports, step-by-step guidance, or opportunities to practice concepts in different ways. Learning needs can also change over time as students grow and gain confidence.

Support begins by understanding how a student approaches learning and where challenges tend to show up. This includes noticing patterns such as difficulty with foundational skills, trouble staying organized, or feeling overwhelmed when concepts build too quickly. Identifying these patterns helps clarify what kind of support will be most helpful.

Instruction is then adjusted to meet the student where they are. Lessons are paced to allow for understanding, practice, and reinforcement without pressure. Concepts are revisited when needed, and strategies are introduced in ways that feel manageable and supportive. As students grow more confident, support shifts to help them work more independently while continuing to strengthen foundational skills. This flexible approach allows learning to progress at a pace that feels steady and encouraging, helping students build confidence and a stronger understanding over time.

Struggles with math don’t always look the same from one child to another. Some students may avoid math altogether or become frustrated quickly, while others may appear to understand concepts but have difficulty applying them independently. You might notice your child rushing through work, second-guessing themselves, or feeling unsure even when they know the material.

For some students, challenges show up as difficulty remembering steps, keeping track of information, or making sense of word problems. Others may rely heavily on memorization without truly understanding how or why something works. Over time, these experiences can lead to frustration, lowered confidence, or a belief that they’re “just not good at math.”

It’s also common for struggles to appear gradually. A child may do well for a while, then begin to feel overwhelmed as concepts build on one another. When foundational skills aren’t fully secure, new material can feel confusing or discouraging, even if the child is capable. Noticing these patterns early can be helpful. When students receive support that addresses both understanding and confidence, they often begin to feel more comfortable taking risks, asking questions, and engaging more fully in their learning. With the right support, many students regain confidence and develop a more positive relationship with math over time.
