FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate reflects 8 years of specialized work with students across a wide range of needs, from learning differences to advanced academic preparation to college applications. I work with a small number of students at a time to ensure every family receives focused, personalized attention. College application support is available as a package rather than hourly.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first session is always diagnostic. Before I teach anything I want to understand how the student thinks, where their understanding breaks down, and what has been tried before. From there I build a specific plan for that student, not a generic curriculum. I also send families a written recap after sessions so they always know what we worked on, where their child stands, and what to focus on before next time.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a degree in pure mathematics from UCLA. Pure mathematics is not applied math or math education. It is the rigorous study of mathematical reasoning at its most fundamental level. That training gives me the ability to meet a student anywhere in their understanding and build a precise, logical path forward from exactly where they are.
