I love math! And I love getting to know my students and helping them achieve their goals. I'm a credentialed high school math teacher with 14 years of experience, a BA in Math from UC Berkeley, an MA in Teaching Math, and National Board Certification. I’ve taught internationally for 5 years, in South Korea, Taiwan, and France, and I’ve also taught at the College Preparatory School, ranked number one in California and number five in the nation, for 7 years. I served as chair of the math department there for two years before relocating to Phoenix where I taught at Phoenix Country Day School. I have a deep understanding of the learning process and am passionate about working with students to help them strengthen their mathematical thinking. I use an iPad Pro and Zoom to tutor virtually. This allows students to see my writing in real time as we work together. And, I record the sessions so that students can review and refer back to what we learned on their own time. I am dedicated to the success of my students! In my free time, I enjoy birdwatching, discussing philosophy, and spending time with my pets.
