About this tutoring

A math tutor who grew up in the Park Cities

I graduated from Highland Park High School, so I know how quickly math classes move and how much a single confusing unit can affect the rest of the semester. Most of my math students do not need more worksheets. They need someone to slow down on the step that is not clicking, explain it a different way, and practice it until it becomes automatic.

I meet students at home in Highland Park and University Park, which means no extra driving on a school night. Lessons are built around your student’s current class, upcoming tests, and the skills that will matter in the next course.

I grew up in Dallas, graduated from Highland Park High School, and earned my Biology degree with an Economics minor from the University of Texas at Austin. I started tutoring in college when classmates asked for help before exams, and I have tutored full-time since graduating, working with hundreds of students across the Dallas area and online.

The method

How math lessons work

In the first lesson I look at recent tests and homework to see where points are being lost. Sometimes the issue is the current topic, and sometimes it is an older skill, such as fractions, factoring, or solving equations, that keeps causing mistakes. We fix the foundation and the current unit together.

I switch between explaining, guided practice, and short problem-solving challenges so students stay engaged. When a student understands the material but struggles on tests, we work on pacing, checking work, and the question types teachers tend to use.

A clear process

Assess: We start by figuring out where your student stands.
Build a plan: Goals, upcoming tests, and the concepts that need the most attention.
Teach and practice: We break down difficult ideas, work examples together, and make sure your student can do the problems on their own. No generic worksheets.
Track and adjust: If the class moves ahead or a test is coming up, we shift the plan so your student stays prepared.

Frequently asked questions

Do you come to our home in Highland Park?

Yes. In-home lessons are available in Highland Park, University Park, and Preston Hollow. Lessons can also meet at a cafe or library in the Snider Plaza area, or online.

Which math classes do you tutor?

Middle school math, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, and Pre-Calculus, plus the math sections of the SAT, ACT, and ISEE.

My student is behind. How often should we meet?

Most students meet once or twice a week. For a student who is catching up, twice a week usually helps close gaps faster, and we can move to once a week when things are steady.

Can you help with study habits and organization too?

Yes. If a student needs help planning their time, keeping notes organized, or preparing for tests, I build that into lessons.

Can you work from my student's teacher feedback?

Yes. I can review teacher comments, rubrics, and returned tests so lessons line up with what is expected in class.
