I have always loved math -- not just solving problems, but getting curious about why things work the way they do. As an exchange student during college, I studied mathematical physics and modern geometry at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse, which led me to graduate school in Montana. Living in the beautiful mountains, studying something I cared about, felt like a dream come true!

During grad school, I taught a range of courses including algebra, pre-calc, and calculus. That is when I realized how much I enjoy working one-on-one with students. Guiding a student to the point where they feel confident working through the problem independently is one of the best parts of what I do.

My approach to tutoring is relaxed, supportive, and focused on real understanding. I want students to feel like they can ask questions, try things out, and not worry about getting everything right on the first try. I believe math doesn’t have to be daunting and can actually be a fun and creative endeavor.

Outside of teaching, I love reading, painting, and baking (banana bread is one of my favorites!). I like to travel, experience new cultures and make friends around the world, and run a small travel agency to that end. I also enjoy swimming and hanging out with cats whenever I get the chance.

SERVICES

This is not an exhaustive list. If you’re looking for help with a specific topic not listed here, please reach out. 

If I’m not the right fit, I’m happy to connect you with someone who specializes in that area. 

policies & procedures

I truly value the time and effort that both students and families put into tutoring. To make sure our sessions are as productive as possible, I’ve outlined a few simple policies. These help set clear expectations and ensure we can work together smoothly.

I offer a free consultation for parents and students. This is a chance for us to meet, discuss goals, and decide if we’re a good fit before committing to regular sessions.

Materials & Preparation

• Students should bring all necessary tools (such as pen, calculator etc.) and materials, including any relevant resources provided by their teacher or school.

• It’s very helpful when students share syllabi, homework problems, or other resources in advance so I can plan ahead and make the most of our time together.

Code of Conduct

• Respect and professionalism are expected at all times from both students and parents/guardians.

• I cannot guarantee specific grades or outcomes. Tutoring is about building skills, strategies, and confidence over time.

• Tutoring sessions are meant to guide students through their learning process, not to complete assignments for them.

Referrals

• Referrals are always appreciated! Families who refer a new student receive a referral discount towards their future sessions as a thank-you.

Additional Participants

• If you’d like to bring a friend to share the session, please let me know in advance.

• Shared sessions are billed at 1.5× the regular rate.

Scheduling & Cancellations

• 24-Hour Cancellation Policy: Sessions may be canceled up to 24 hours in advance at no charge.

• Late Cancellations: If canceled within 24 hours, 50% of the session fee will be charged.

• No-Shows: Missed sessions without notice will be charged in full.

• Exceptions: Family emergencies or sudden illness may be excused on a case-by-case basis.

Running Late

• If you will be late, please contact me via call, text, or email.

• If the student is on their way, I’ll wait, but the session will still end at the scheduled time.

• If I don’t hear from you within 15 minutes of the start time, I’m free to leave and the session will be charged in full.

Payment

• Payment is due by the end of each session unless another arrangement has been made.

• I offer discounted rates when multiple tutoring sessions are booked in advance.

These policies are in place to keep sessions structured, respectful, and effective. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to supporting your learning journey!
