Math Tutor/Teacher, specializing in confidence building

Hello!

I have a BA in mathematics from Mills College, am currently teaching middle school math (6-8), and have been tutoring middle, high school, and college math for close to ten years. So often, students or parents reach out to me saying that a student always done well in math, but suddenly they're struggling in one particular class. When I meet with these students, I find that a huge component of their challenges is a lack of confidence in their abilities. This math anxiety is often reflected by the adults in their lives, making it hard for students of any age to achieve a growth mindset about mathematics. I strongly believe that absolutely anyone (yes, really! anyone!) can learn math, and I am passionate about guiding students to their own personal lightbulb moments.

I have experience teaching and tutoring 6-8 grade math, pre-algebra, algebra I & II, geometry, and calculus. I would love to support your student in strengthening their understanding of the material as well as building confidence in the classroom.
