⌳ Mission
To offer skilled guidance in math and science, restore curiosity to the learning environment, and unlock each student's potential through personalized instruction...
while remembering that joy is important.
I ♥ math & science, but in the end, I teach human beings – not subject matter.
Much of my teaching philosophy was solidified during my tenure as a Teacher/Mentor at Fusion Academy. Their one-to-one classroom model enabled personalized education, socially, emotionally, and academically. I witnessed remarkable student transformations where interest in learning truly soared when students felt seen, heard, and known.
Shout-out to the South Bay campus and the wonderful students and staff I had the pleasure of working with. 💚💜
If you're looking for an accredited middle or high school, I highly recommend their customized education program.
"Schools have a moral and ethical imperative to take responsibility for students' well being, not just their academic knowledge."
-Maurice Elias, Professor of Psychology at Rutgers University, whose research focuses on building children's skills for facing the tests of life, and not a life of tests.

Bypass intermediaries.
Tutoring companies often claim a substantial portion of fees. Paying $150 through a tutoring service might land you with an overburdened, undercompensated tutor who pockets merely $15 per hour, limiting the quality of your experience. By booking directly with me, you secure the premium service you're investing in.
With extensive experience as a professional teacher, tutor, and mentor, I know what teachers expect and also understand students’ perspectives from outside the classroom. Over 14 years in the field, I’ve seen which concepts are most likely to appear on tests, I recognize the typical sources of confusion and errors, and I can determine the most effective communication strategies for different learning styles.
Having a private teacher familiar with these patterns is a major advantage.
⌳ Learning Resources
I assembled a list of educational materials that have been instrumental in teaching curricula that adhere to California state standards.
It's marvelous to have access to some of the world's top educators!
