I am a certified educator with over 20 years of experience preparing students for high-stakes standardized tests, including the SAT Math section and AP courses in Statistics, Calculus (AB, BC, Multivariable), and Physics. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics & Statistics and Master’s degrees in Computer Information Systems, Public Administration, and Accounting & Finance. My instruction is further enriched by rigorous U.S. Navy engineering training and years of leadership in technical education and national-level IT deployment.
I’ve taught and supervised high school math curricula, designed remote learning systems, and served as adjunct faculty in Statistics. My approach integrates a strong theoretical foundation with real-world problem-solving, ensuring that students are equipped not just to memorize formulas, but to master concepts, manage time, and confidently tackle any exam challenge.
I take a strategic, diagnostic approach to test prep. I begin by identifying gaps through baseline assessments and use that data to customize instruction. My lessons emphasize high-yield content areas, effective test-taking strategies, and time management techniques tailored to each student’s unique learning style and performance goals.
For SAT Math, I break down common traps, teach proven shortcuts, and reinforce algebra, geometry, and data interpretation skills through targeted drills. In AP Calculus and AP Statistics, I scaffold complex ideas with visual models, past AP exam questions, and real-world applications—from interpreting statistical results to modeling rates of change. I ensure that students feel prepared, practiced, and confident walking into their exams.
One of my standout students was a high school junior preparing for the SAT and AP Calculus AB concurrently. Initially scoring below 600 in Math, she was overwhelmed by the fast pace of AP Calculus. Through focused weekly sessions on foundational algebra, calculus concepts, and timed practice, her SAT Math score rose to a perfect score on the math section, and she earned a 5 on her AP exam. She later told me the clarity and confidence she gained during tutoring gave her a decisive edge—and a scholarship to her first-choice university.
