FAQs:

What’s good?

I start every class or tutoring session with a simple ”reset,” a few deep breaths, and “good things.” It’s a chance for students to share something positive that’s going on in their lives, and it helps us get to know each other and build real relationships.

I love this routine because it cues positive thinking. That shift helps with math anxiety, builds confidence, and increases student buy-in. I’ve used this approach for years, and I get so much more engagement and effort from students by simply asking, “What’s good?”

What ages or math levels do you teach?

I work with students in grades K–12

What services do you offer?

I offer calm, safe, and empowering support for learning math. Most families are looking one of these options:

Private Tutoring

For those seeking individual support (including: homework help, remediation, enrichment, and acceleration support) I offer private tutoring for Kindergarten math to High School Algebra I and Geometry.

Homeschool Math

This usually looks like a pod of 3-5 students meeting 3 or 4 times a week for instruction, practice, and collaboration. Math learning is empowered by discourse and working with others.

Test Prep

I can help your student prepare for the SAT, ACT, STAAR EOC, Credit by Exam, TSIA, or Placement Tests.

How do you support Math Anxious, Neurodivergent, and Gifted Students?

My focus on a calm, positive, empowering space sets a tone that benefits all students.

A key part of this is helping students feel seen and begin to see themselves as mathematicians. When students feel safe participating and sharing their thinking, their confidence grows and instruction can meet them where they are.

From there, I tailor support to each learner’s needs. This might include addressing the strengths and challenges of asynchronous development, exploring problems from multiple perspectives, accepting different ways for students to clearly express their thinking, or providing meaningful challenge and enrichment for students who crave it.

What is a learning pod?

A pod is a small group of 3–6 students who meet together each week for guided math instruction. Pods provide structure, consistency, and a supportive environment for learners who benefit from small groups. 

How do pods form?

Sometimes families already have a pod or another student in mind, but this is not needed. Most families join my interest list to be matched by age, level, and schedule. A pod begins once at least three families commit.

Where do sessions take place?

Most pods and tutoring sessions meet in a family’s home, but hosting is optional; we can meet somewhere like the library.
