Experienced Online Math Tutor (19+ Years)

First 1 hr lesson is FREE!

You get what you pay for.

While some may view my hourly rate as an expense, many parents see it as an investment due to my teaching experience, degrees, qualifications, and expertise as a professional educator.

I also provide clients with summaries of tutoring sessions, including session assessments and recommendations for further academic development.

The first session is "free" if you choose not to retain me as a tutor. However, if you do wish to continue, I require payment for four sessions in advance before our second session together. (Note: This payment will cover the first "free" session and the following three sessions.)

Welcome! I’m here to help your child succeed in a meaningful way.

As a parent, I know how important it is to choose a tutor who genuinely understands your child’s needs and has the experience to guide them toward success. You don’t want someone who simply pretends to know what they’re doing—you want a tutor who truly does.

I am a Certified and Registered Teacher in both the U.S. and Hong Kong, with two Master's Degrees in Education, each earned with a 4.0 GPA. Alongside my academic credentials, I hold certifications as an Academic Life Coach, Study Skills Coach, and Cognitive Skills Trainer. I am proud to be a member of the prestigious Golden Key International Honour Society and the Association for the Coaching & Tutoring Profession.

With over 19 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of teaching in 8 different international schools across 6 countries. I understand the diverse needs of students and the importance of building a strong foundation for their academic success.

I know that every child learns differently, and I’m committed to helping them unlock their full potential with care, patience, and personalized strategies. Your child’s success isn’t just about grades—it’s about building confidence, resilience, and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.

Let’s work together to ensure your child has the best path forward!

Questions for You

Q: What teaching methods do you use to help students learn Math concepts and solve problems?

I love to use Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) Approach with smaller children, Collaborative Learning (Group Work) with older children, Questioning and LOTS of Pattern Recognition, and fair enough usage of Technology and Interactive Tools.

Q: Do you have experience with online teaching platforms or virtual tutoring, and what is your preferred method of communication with students?

Yes, I have experience with virtual tutoring, especially during covid. My preferred method of communication is whatever is easiest and most convenient for parent and student.

Q: What Math topics or concepts are you particularly skilled in teaching, and how do you keep up to date with changes in the curriculum?

I'm particularly skilled at K-7 mathematics, and I am certified as a cognitive skills trainer. One way I keep up with changes in curriculum is by writing online courses for parents. Creating an online course requires research and synthesis.

Q: How do you communicate with parents about their child's progress and any challenges they may be facing in learning Math?

I communicate either by email or by text. I am always looking for more positive things to share with parents versus concerns. I use growth mindset principles when communicating challenged students face in learning math.

Q: Do you provide any additional resources or materials to supplement your lessons, such as practice exercises or online tutorials?

Yes, I have an free online course for parents, which parents can access if they needed. I am also willing to provide additional resources persnalized to each student.

Q: What is your approach to homework assignments, and how do you ensure students understand the concepts covered in class?

I am not a big fan of assigning homework, though at the same time, I'm not against the practice of any skill for the purpose of improvement. Homework can also be a good time to catch up on an in-class assignment. However, I rely on class time for learning, and use a spiral-review method for reviewing previously taught information for mastery of content.

Q: What steps do you take to ensure that your teaching approach is compatible with the student's learning style?

I use empathy and am always assessing. For example, I am always looking for feedback. If something I'm trying does not engage a student, or frustrates them, I look for clues to tell me so, and I will adapt my methods.

Q: Do you have experience working with students with learning disabilities or special needs, and how do you adapt your teaching methods to accommodate their needs?

No, I don't have much experience. Just with ADHD.
