PERSONALIZED MATH TUTORING
Respecting the student - their preferences, needs, and strengths - leads to greater gains in learning. I recognize what your child brings to this world and respect their style of learning and relating while focusing on growth in Math content as well as resiliency, authenticity, and self-regulation. Personalized coaching with an expert can transform your student's learning from the first session.
​
EFFECTIVE AND GROWTH-BASED
One-on-one coaching is a research-based method to close gaps, increase confidence and self-understanding, and lower anxiety in Math. I provide your child skills and support to help them reach their unique potential.
​
RESPECTFUL AND EMPOWERING
Everything we do together is based on competencies in the Common Core Curriculum for Math, and we work with current classroom material as well as supplementary material when needed. I address your child's educational experience with positive supports, effective feedback, and healthy relationship with me.

Unsolicited Praise
"For the first time, [my son] is feeling good about himself in the classroom and has a [grade removed] in math. Seeing you every week has changed how he sees himself and what he is capable of. We are so grateful."
Mother of a 14-Year-Old Student
"You have relieved so much stress for our family. Honestly, I appreciate all you do to keep [my daughter] calmly moving forward. She benefits from outside guidance in math, and her dad and I can't provide that."
Mother of a 15-Year-Old Student
"Our main goal for [our daughter] was to reduce her anxiety with math. She is much more relaxed this year with weekly tutoring, and even though it wasn't our goal, her math grade is also way up."

"Orchid children are more open, more permeable, more tender to the powerful influences, both bad and good, of the context in which they are living and growing. And while the fragility of orchid children might seem like a liability, in the right circumstances, these kids can thrive to an even greater extent than peers."
