Frequently Asked Questions

  • I’m not just a tutor. I’m a former high school math teacher and trained leadership coach. I bring deep knowledge of math curriculum and school systems to my work, along with a coaching and systems-thinking perspective that helps students and parents better understand what they need to move forward together.

  • I offer middle school and high school math tutoring for Math 1, Math 2, Math 3, Geometry, Pre-Calc, and Algebra. I do not tutor Calculus.

  • Executive functioning coaching helps students develop practical systems and strategies for managing school more independently. We might work on organization, planning ahead, breaking down assignments, managing deadlines, or figuring out what to do when they feel overwhelmed.

  • Parent consultation sessions are more advice-oriented. You bring me a specific challenge or question, and I use my experience as an educator and coach to help you understand the situation, navigate barriers, and determine practical next steps.

    Parent coaching sessions are more reflective. Rather than giving you direct advice, I ask questions and use tools or frameworks to help you explore what’s happening, recognize patterns, and determine your next steps.
