Online Math Tutor

Hello! I’m a former math teacher with years of experience teaching students from around the world, including the U.S., Sweden, and Colombia. I’ve taught everything from 5th grade math to AP Statistics and have tutored elementary to college math. I love breaking down problems to make math clear, approachable, and even fun.


My background in cybersecurity and curriculum design helps me create engaging, real-world lessons that build confidence and problem-solving skills. Whether you’re catching up or aiming to excel, I’m here to help you succeed.
