New York Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
Florida Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
Master's Degree in English from Long Island University
I’m a state-certified and licensed Math teacher with over 10 years of experience teaching K-12 students in both traditional classrooms and online settings. I hold a Master’s degree in Education and have dedicated my career to helping students not only master math but also build the confidence and resilience they need to thrive.
My teaching philosophy blends academic rigor with personal development, creating a unique approach that makes math both relatable and empowering for every learner. I see math as a tool not just for solving problems, but for building life skills like focus, consistency, and perseverance. I specialize in breaking down challenging concepts—like fractions, algebra, and problem-solving—into approachable, real-world applications.
As a confidence-boosting coach, I help students overcome mental blocks and self-doubt, guiding them toward a growth mindset where mistakes are opportunities and challenges are stepping stones to success. My supportive, encouraging style helps students not only strengthen their math skills but also take ownership of their learning journey.
I’ve worked with students of all levels, from those needing extra support to advanced learners seeking enrichment, and my tailored approach meets each student where they are. Whether it’s through my Middle School Math Workout or personalized SAT Prep, I create a positive, focused environment where students feel safe to learn, grow, and succeed.
My ultimate goal is simple: empower students to become confident, capable problem-solvers who approach math—and life—with curiosity, resilience, and determination.
