First session is FREE to assess whether or not we are a good fit
One-on-one sessions and I limit myself to only 2 clients per day to ensure I can give students my best and actually help them
Mostly interested in helping students rebuild confidence in themselves by understanding the math more deeply so they do not have to blindly memorize formulas and procedures. Less about math drills and more about asking sincerely "Why is this true?" "How does that work?" "What does this actually mean?"
My approach relies heavily on encouraging students to trust their own intuition and unique ways of thinking and helping them develop the confidence to question things and find their own answers
If traditional teaching methods have left you confused and lost, you may benefit from a more conceptually-oriented approach towards math which emphasizes curiosity, creativity, deep questioning, and a desire for true understanding
I am a small independently run business so I can stay true to my values which are ultimately helping people who struggle in math believe in themselves more and delivering high quality instruction that gets students to think more deeply
