Students Thriving in Math

Welcome! You’ve reached my tutoring page. If you’re interested in redistricting consulting or math education consulting please click the links above

Most students can make tremendous strides in their understanding of math with one on one support. As a math education specialist or math tutor, I recognize that students’ math potential is often much higher than they imagine it to be and I help them achieve it. As a result students who are struggling with math or dealing with math anxiety change the way they think about their ability to do math at high levels. Math can be a source of pride and success.

Conversely students who are already enjoying math and are looking for more challenge and engagement benefit from focus on a deeper or broader understanding that isn’t always available to them in the classroom.

I tutor with patience, enthusiasm and convey to students that they can excel.

Whether you’re looking for the best math tutor in the San Francisco Bay Area, the best online math tutor, or simply the best math tutor for your child, please reach out. I’d like to help your child thrive!

Testimonials

Stephanie was actually excited to talk to my daughter about geometry and that excitement was contagious. My daughter was very anxious about math yet I actually heard laughter coming from the room during their very first session.
— Parent of a Geometry student
My son talked to me about the tower of hanoi puzzle that Stephanie introduced him to all the way home. He’s never been so enthusiastic about math.
— Parent of a 6th Grader
I began tutoring with Stephanie when I became concerned about my falling math grade and my comprehension for upcoming Algebra 2/Trig unit tests. As soon as she started helping me by going deeper into explaining the units, providing extra practice problems, coming up with tricks to help me remember how to solve the problems, and making guides to lead me to solve problems on my own, my understanding and mastery improved and my math grade went up. Stephanie is super friendly and helped me boost my confidence with math.
— Algebra 2, Trigonometry Student
My friends usually help me with my math homework but, after working with Stephanie, for the first time I really understood it and could explain it to them!

You know, this is actually kinda fun
