Qualifications
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience and a Master's in Education. This helps me understand how memory, motivation, and cognitive load affect learning and allows me to design sessions that are not only effective but also brain-friendly. I teach strategies like spaced repetition, retrieval practice, and metacognitive reflection to help students retain concepts and build confidence.
Services
All of my tutoring services are conducted online, allowing you to learn from the comfort of your home or even from school. In addition to strengthening essential skills like organization, planning, and note-taking, I focus on helping students develop a deeper understanding of why the math works, not just how to do it. My approach emphasizes meaningful learning and long-term mastery, not just short-term performance.
