Whether a student is struggling to keep up or aiming to excel, I tailor lessons to their pace and strengths.

I offer both in-person and online tutoring, always ensuring sessions are structured, engaging, and connected to real-world applications. My aim is not only to help students improve their grades but also to spark curiosity and build lifelong learning skills.
