About Us

Why You Might Be Here

You know your teenager is bright. But something feels off.
Maybe they’re underperforming, overwhelmed, or starting to shut down.
Maybe they’re doing fine, but you can tell they’re capable of so much more.

You’ve tried different approaches. You may have hired tutors before and seen moments of progress—only to watch familiar patterns return.

Now you’re feeling a quiet worry as your influence starts to feel limited—just as the pressures on teenagers seem to be growing. You’d like to play a meaningful role in their development, but they’re resisting your input more than they used to.

And underneath it all, you’re wondering:

Are they growing in the ways they need to meet academic challenges and rise to their potential—so they’re prepared for the future you hope they’ll have?

Let’s explore if this is the right fit for your teen.

The Hidden Challenges Bright Teens Face

Without the right support, capable teens often:

Develop math anxiety that shadows them for years
Lose confidence in their natural abilities
See themselves as “not a math person”
Fall short of their potential because they’re not being challenged or guided to learn math conceptually instead of procedurally
Miss the chance to strengthen critical thinking and problem-solving skills that math develops especially well

You’re not just looking for a tutor. You want someone who can connect with your teenager, challenge them, and bring out the best in them—not just in math, but in how they manage school and life.

What Most Parents Are Hoping For

Stronger math performance and deeper conceptual understanding
Confidence that extends beyond the classroom
Support with stress, anxiety, and executive function
Better focus, follow-through, and study habits
A trusted adult guide who helps them grow into themselves

Lasting academic growth starts from the roots—skills, mindset, and habits that create true confidence and independence.

Why Tutoring Alone Falls Short

Traditional tutoring can help teens catch up on content—but it rarely leads to lasting growth.

That’s where my approach is different. I integrate expert math instruction with academic life coaching and executive function development so your teen gains the skills, mindset, and confidence to thrive.

Lasting academic growth starts from the roots—skills, mindset, and habits that create true confidence and independence.

What We Offer

How I Help Teens Thrive

As the “Two Trees” image shows, real growth takes more than just tutoring.

I work with a small number of teenagers each semester in a highly personalized way — seamlessly integrating expert-level math instruction with academic life coaching and executive function support.

Math Mastery

Learning math conceptually, not just memorizing steps. Building a foundation for test prep, critical thinking, and long-term retention—while addressing the mindset and emotions that impact performance.

Academic Life Coaching

Tackling stress, procrastination, avoidance, perfectionism, and overwhelm. Helping teens create systems, habits, and mindsets that work for their brain and goals.

Coaching for Growth

Responding to who your teenager is and where they are. Guiding them toward resilience, responsibility, and self-direction.

Let’s talk about your teen’s goals and challenges.

What Changes for Teens

Greater confidence and motivation
Stronger mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills
Improved focus, organization, and follow-through
Reduced academic anxiety and better stress management
A stronger sense of agency—in school and beyond
Sharper critical thinking and problem-solving abilities that carry over into other areas of life

Most families notice encouraging changes in the first two months, with significant breakthroughs often occurring over the course of an academic year.
