Every lesson is designed to be as productive as possible. It’s always an active dialogue, not a lecture. I constantly engage students by asking questions and encouraging them to explain concepts and methods in their own words. Combined with a carefully structured sequence of topics and problems, this helps students develop a natural and thorough understanding of the material.

Each session begins with a Homework Review, where we go over any challenging problems until everything clicks and makes sense.

Then we move into New Concepts and Practice. I introduce new material gradually and in small, manageable steps to build intuitive understanding and strengthen the connections between ideas. After that, we move on to deliberate and methodical practice, working through a variety of problems until these skills are fully mastered. I seek to help students see the bigger picture, rather than viewing math as a scattered collection of unrelated problems.

Every few lessons, I include short Quizzes in a gamified format to see how students approach problems independently under time constraints. These mini-challenges boost both engagement and problem-solving speed. Over time, we track how quickly and confidently students can beat their own previous scores, and that sense of progress is always motivating.

Yes, homework is an essential part of the learning process. It allows students to reinforce the concepts we’ve explored during the lesson and also gives me clear feedback: which ideas have clicked and what needs more attention next time.

Every lesson comes with a customized homework assignment based on what we’ve just covered. I check the work between sessions, so we don’t waste valuable lesson time and move forward efficiently, without spending too long on concepts the student already understands.

Homework review is fully included in the lesson package, along with a set of helpful study materials: key formulas, rules, and reference sheets that support long-term retention and confidence.

This is one of the most important aspects of my work. My first priority is always to create a safe and supportive environment.

I make it clear that no question is too simple or silly, and that making mistakes is a natural and essential part of the learning process. We celebrate small victories and build progress step-by-step, and students quickly find the confidence to participate, ask questions, and ultimately, enjoy math.

You will receive a brief update after each session outlining what we covered and how the student is doing.

You will also have access to:

· a private digital folder with all our lesson notes and materials

· a progress tracker that I update after each session, which highlights topics covered, areas of success, and our focus for future lessons.

And of course, I’m always available for a chat if you have any specific questions.

I offer two formats to fit your needs:

Online Sessions: I work with students across the US and internationally via Zoom, using a professional setup with an iPad as a digital whiteboard for a seamless, interactive experience.

In-Person Sessions: Available for families in Manhattan and nearby areas. Sessions in other parts of NYC may also be possible and can be discussed individually.

The standard session length is 60 minutes. For most students, meeting once a week works very well. It provides a solid pace for steady, consistent progress.

For families looking to make the most out of our work, I recommend two sessions per week. This is what I consider the ideal maximum: it helps maintain momentum and deepen the effect without overwhelming the student.

In some cases, a third session may be helpful as a temporary measure (for example, during a busy period or right before an important test), but I don’t recommend it as a long-term routine – the brain needs time to process and connect new ideas.

My goal is to create a consistent and productive learning rhythm for your child, but I understand that plans can change.

If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, let me know at least 24 hours in advance. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice will be charged the full session rate, as that time has been reserved exclusively for you.

I accept all major payment methods, including Credit/Debit Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Bank Transfer (ACH), Zelle, Venmo, and PayPal.

Card payments are securely processed by Stripe, and a receipt is provided for every transaction.

The process is simple and completely risk-free:

Get In Touch. Reach out to me directly via email, text, or WhatsApp, or leave your email using this link, and I’ll follow up as soon as possible. We'll discuss your goals and arrange the introductory session.

Introductory Session. This 60-minute lesson is entirely risk-free. It includes a targeted assessment to identify key areas for improvement, set clear goals, and outline the next steps. It’s also a chance for you to see my teaching style in action. After that, you’ll receive written notes from me summarizing what we covered and my recommendations for moving forward. If you decide not to continue afterwards, you’ll receive a full refund.

Secure Your Slot. If we agree it's a great fit, we'll reserve a regular time slot for the semester. I work to provide a seamless, turn-key experience, handling all the session planning, material preparation, and progress tracking so you can focus on seeing your child thrive.
