A Patient Approach to Math

One of the most rewarding aspects of my teaching career is hearing from students how much they appreciate my patience. I believe that every student can grasp math concepts with the right support and encouragement. In one-on-one or small group settings, I focus on meeting students exactly where they are, addressing their specific challenges and questions. I love to help students learn math!

More Than Just Math

Beyond mathematics, I strive to create a comfortable and approachable learning environment. I'm easy to talk to, genuinely interested in people's passions and hobbies, and enthusiastic about life's journey. My teaching style is patient and aims to connect with students on a personal level, fostering a positive and engaging learning experience.

Making a Difference in Education

Located in Los Angeles, California, Saint Joseph's Math Workshop is my personal project dedicated to providing quality math education. My goal is to make a meaningful difference in students' lives by helping them overcome their challenges and achieve their full potential in mathematics. I have been teaching since 2003 and I have a multiple subject teaching credential.

"Saint Joseph’s Math Workshop has made a huge difference for my child, who is now excelling at math! We are so grateful!"

A Very Happy Parent
