Why I Tutor
There's something uniquely rewarding about the one on one environment. No rushing, no getting left behind, just focused time to work through concepts at your own pace. I love being in that room when something finally clicks for a student. Seeing real progress happen, session by session, is what keeps me coming back.
While improving immediate test and homework grades is very important I pride myself on helping students gain a deeper understanding of math to set them up for continued success.

Outside the Classroom
When I'm not tutoring, you'll probably find me on the ice, the tennis court, or the soccer field. I'm a big sports fan in general and love a good board game night or jumping into a video game when the weather keeps me inside.
