I am graduated from Penn State University in Industrial Engineering in 2017. I've tutored ever since I was in high school, and I love helping people! I like to help my students understand math (and other topics) instead of just doing it blindly. My goal is to help my students improve their math (and other topics) and build skills that will help them find learning easier in the future! Fun fact, I used to work for Disney and I like to salsa dance!

During my Bachelor's studies at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, I was a mathematics and statistics tutor for a year, which I greatly enjoyed. I am currently a fourth-year Ph.D. student studying mathematics at the University of Florida. During my Ph.D. at the University of Florida, I was a teaching assistant for Calculus I, Calculus II, and Precalculus, and I was an instructor for a section of Calculus I. These experiences helped me develop my tutoring skills. Many students see math as a set of formulas that they can apply to the problems on their exams and homework. However, I feel that this way of thinking not only stifles true understanding, but also makes students' lives harder. My teaching philosophy is that if a strong conceptual understanding is built, then students will be well-equipped to answer any question that they can be asked. When I tutor, I make sure that students develop this foundation first and foremost.
IB Analysis and Approaches is one of the most demanding high school math curricula out there, blending proof-based reasoning with heavy calculus and statistics content.

I have completed my Bachelor's degree from the University of Florida in both Biology and Business Administration. I currently love to tutor all students in numerous Mathematics and Science subjects as I want to spark that same passion that I have for these subjects. I have significant mastery of mathematics including pre-calculus, algebra 1/2, trigonometry, geometry, statistics, finite math, college level algebra, business math, and quantitative reasoning, etc. I have significant experience in science subjects including biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, organic chemistry, and biochemistry as well. I love to help students use their logic and problem-solving skills in order to advance their learning ability to a higher degree more efficiently. While learning how to apply these skills in real life situations using both math and science topics, respectively. I like to tailor lesson plans and study strategies to that particular student (as we are all unique) to ensure each student understands the concepts completely. I love to help any and all students ranging from the inquisitive mind to a struggling student trying to achieve an A+ in class!

Frequently Asked Questions
IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches is a rigorous, university-level course that emphasizes deep conceptual understanding over procedural memorization. Unlike standard curricula, it focuses on mathematical reasoning, proof, and real-world applications—requiring students to explain the "why" behind solutions, not just arrive at answers. The course covers calculus, functions, trigonometry, and statistics with an emphasis on connections between topics, which is why many students benefit from personalized instruction to bridge gaps and build confidence.
Students often struggle with the transition from procedural math to conceptual reasoning—understanding not just how to solve a problem, but why the method works. Multi-step proofs, rigorous justifications, and connecting abstract concepts to real-world scenarios can feel overwhelming. Additionally, the course moves quickly, and gaps from earlier topics compound fast. Personalized tutoring helps students identify where conceptual understanding breaks down and rebuild confidence through targeted practice and clear explanations.
Your first session is about assessment and connection. A tutor will review your current coursework, identify specific topics causing difficulty (whether it's calculus, trigonometry, or proof-writing), and understand your learning style. They'll ask about your goals—whether you're aiming for a 6 or 7 on the IB exam, catching up on missed concepts, or building exam confidence. This foundation allows them to create a personalized plan that addresses your unique gaps and learning pace.
Proofs require both logical thinking and clear communication—skills that improve dramatically with guided practice. Tutors help you recognize proof patterns, understand when to use different techniques (direct proof, proof by contradiction, induction), and develop the habit of justifying every step. Through worked examples and targeted exercises, you'll learn to "see" the logical structure of problems before writing them out, which builds the confidence needed for exam success.
Absolutely. Word problems require you to extract mathematical meaning from language and context—a skill that improves with deliberate practice and feedback. Tutors teach you a systematic approach: identifying what's given, what you're solving for, and which mathematical tools apply. They also help you recognize common problem patterns and build a mental toolkit of strategies. Over time, this structured approach reduces anxiety and makes word problems feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Ideally, students benefit from consistent tutoring throughout the course—not just cramming before the exam. Starting early (even in your first term) helps you build a strong conceptual foundation, which makes final review much more efficient. If you're already partway through the course, starting now is still valuable; tutors can help you catch up on gaps while keeping pace with new material. Most students find that 4-6 months of regular sessions significantly improve exam confidence and performance.
Look for tutors with strong mathematics backgrounds and specific IB experience—ideally, they've taught IB Mathematics or scored highly on the IB exam themselves. They should understand the IB curriculum's emphasis on reasoning and proof, not just computational skills. Experience working with students in Sarasota schools is a plus, as they'll understand your school's pacing and expectations. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who meet these criteria and can provide references or credentials upon request.
Math anxiety often stems from past negative experiences or feeling lost when concepts don't click immediately. Tutors create a low-pressure environment where you can ask questions without judgment, work through problems at your own pace, and celebrate small wins. By breaking complex topics into manageable pieces and showing you that you *can* understand difficult concepts, tutors help rebuild confidence. Over time, as you see progress and develop problem-solving strategies that work for you, anxiety naturally decreases and engagement increases.
