I’m a licensed Hawaiʻi math teacher (grades 6-12) and special education teacher with a B.S. in Mathematics and an M.Ed. in Teaching from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. I’ve taught math since 2021 and currently tutor students across all content areas in grades K-12. My approach is patient, structured, and tailored to how each student learns, whether they’re catching up, building confidence, or aiming higher. I specialize in making math clear and helping students feel capable.
