Math Tutoring
- Does your teenager struggle with stress or anxiety about Math and/or test taking?
- Have you tried tutoring sessions and only got limited results ?
- Do you sense that their stress, anxiety or lack of confidence might be preventing them from accessing their full potential in Math?
- Do you worry about this affecting their college and career choices?
Who can best benefit from my approach
- A student who has always struggled in Math without being able to make significant shifts.
- A student who has fallen behind and now is finding it overwhelming to catch up.
- A student who is particularly good at Math but struggles with test-taking, so their grades do not reflect their Math skill and talent.
- A student that experiences moderate to high levels of anxiety that is impacting their grades, health, relationships, and self-confidence.
- Location is not an issue; I can work with students locally and nationally. I have been tutoring online for 8 years now, with great success. I know exactly what it takes to keep the student engaged and to get full benefit from their time with me.
I can help your students save years of struggling in school. Plus, my approach’s long-term benefits will provide teenagers with coping skills for their anxiety and lack of confidence that transform their opportunities in college, and therefore, allow them to make career’s choices from an empowered place. This can have impacts on their life-time earning potential and sense of accomplishment.

Math and Anxiety
Learning Math often brings stress and anxiety. “I’m not getting it!” , “Why isn’t it making sense?”, “ I hate Math, it’s just not my thing.” This is often related to Math itself, or how a person perceives his or her ability as a Math student.
Stress and anxiety around Math learning are real challenges and may affect students’ lives and decisions in different ways. Some give up, others push themselves beyond their healthy limits, and in both cases they experience frustration.
Mindfulness and awareness about how stress affects our brain can help us with Math learning. I offer efficient and effective tools and practices to help students manage Math and test-related anxiety.
