As a tutor, I want to instill confidence into my students.

I am more passionate about the latter, and within the humanities I am most passionate about philosophy and English. The most important thing I've learned from those two fields (and the thing I'd most want to pass on to students) is how to find the right words for thoughts - this is important, not just because it allows people to express themselves well to others, but also because it affords clarity to people regarding their own opinions and ideas. Shortly after I graduated from college I embarked on an extended trip around Europe lasting from October 2017 to May 2018. My interests include traveling, piano, and reading.

I am currently in the process of applying to Law School. I have tutored middle school and high school students in subjects ranging from 5th grade reading to geometry to the SAT. While I am happy and able to tutor a number of subjects, I am most passionate about Test Prep because these scores are very important to students, and I enjoy helping them to conquer the test and succeed. My teaching philosophy can be described as a coaching style in which, like athletics, I believe learning the subject matter, good techniques, and constant practice are the best ways to achieving better scores.

I am a graduate of Harvard University. I received a dual Bachelor of Arts in Astrophysics and Earth & Planetary Science. After completing my undergraduate degree, I worked full-time as a post-baccalaureate researcher at Columbia University's Astrophysics Laboratory in New York City. Currently, I'm working toward a PhD in Exploration Systems Design at Arizona State University. I first starting tutoring in high school and have continued for nearly a decade since. I have tutored many students across all levels of mathematics from the elementary to the undergraduate level. Additionally, I have tutored several students in astronomy at the undergraduate level. Calculus is my favorite topic to tutor, as I find the concepts to be incredibly fun to both learn and teach. In addition to tutoring, I also worked as a multivariable calculus teaching assistant for the Harvard Mathematics Department. I firmly believe that anyone can learn math. There's no such things as a "math person." It's just a matter of finding the right teacher. Outside of my academic pursuits, I also enjoy flying single-engine airplanes, writing screenplays, playing a relaxing game of golf, and training in martial arts.

After several adventurous decades including travel in Africa and Asia, building a house in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, running a business designing and selling jewelry, and building alternative straw bale buildings on my property in the White Mountains of Arizona, I started tutoring math at Northland Pioneer College in Snowflake and Show Low, AZ. The past two years I have been spending most of my time in the Phoenix area where I am tutoring math, ranging from arithmetic to algebra to trig and calculus, with my main love and main focus being on algebra. What I love about algebra is the detective work---figuring out what needs to be done to solve a problem instead of just attacking it with a calculator. My tutoring style is to adapt my explanations to the needs of my students---there are always several ways to do any given problem, and I ask questions to determine which way will work best for an individual student. In my spare time, I am an artist, in ceramics and fused glass; and I love reading, mainly non-fiction in the area of personal growth and development.

I am very comfortable teaching various subjects and ages, and I am a laid back and flexible person.

I am a rising sophomore at Duke University. My dream is to become a doctor someday, so I am currently on the pre-med track and taking several chemistry and biology courses. Although my current focus is in science, I have a passion for history and culture. This past summer I participated in a study abroad program in Costa Rica, where I had the privilege of meeting and speaking with people from several different backgrounds, such as an indigenous tribe and the "ancianos" from a senior living home. Because this invaluable experience, I am continuing my studies in Spanish language and culture. Because I graduated high school only a year ago, the subjects that I was taught are still fresh in my mind, especially AP courses. I am very familiar with the AP curriculum, as I have taken 10 AP classes over the course of high school, and spent a fair amount of time preparing and learning strategies for taking the tests. I enjoy learning and teaching a broad range of subjects, but I have the most experience tutoring in Algebra, Spanish, and History. My primary concern is to foster a positive environment for the student, so they feel confident in asking me questions and comfortable making mistakes. In my free time, I play badminton, read fiction, serve the community, and go on the occasional hunt for Pokmon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Surprise's 44 schools and all 6 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in the Surprise Unified, Avondale, Litchfield, or other local districts, we can match them with a tutor who understands Arizona's academic standards and can support their specific needs.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 18.2:1 in Surprise schools, many students benefit from personalized attention that classroom settings can't always provide. One-on-one tutoring fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific challenges—whether that's foundational skills, test prep, or advanced concepts.

Tutors working with Surprise students are familiar with Arizona's college and career readiness standards, including benchmarks for math, reading, science, and social studies. They tailor instruction to align with what your student's school expects, whether that means preparing for Arizona's state assessments, supporting grade-level curriculum, or building skills for high school success.

Students in Surprise seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with particularly strong demand for math (from elementary through algebra and geometry), English language arts, science, and test preparation for standardized assessments. We also connect students with tutors for AP courses, foreign languages, and other advanced subjects as they progress through middle and high school.

The first session is about getting to know your student and understanding their goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically, identify specific challenges or gaps, and discuss what success looks like—whether that's improving grades, building confidence, or mastering a particular skill. This foundation helps shape a personalized learning plan for ongoing sessions.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families in Surprise to find flexible arrangements that fit their budget and schedule—whether your student needs weekly sessions, intensive test prep, or periodic support. Contact us to discuss what works best for your situation and get a personalized quote.

We consider your student's subject, grade level, learning style, and specific goals when making a match. Tutors in the Surprise area bring diverse expertise and backgrounds, so we connect you with someone whose qualifications and approach align with what your student needs. If the fit isn't quite right, we can make adjustments to ensure a great learning partnership.

Many students see improvements in confidence and understanding within the first few weeks of regular tutoring, while academic grade improvements often become visible within 4-8 weeks depending on the subject and starting point. Consistent, personalized instruction compounds over time, so the longer a student works with a tutor, the more substantial the gains typically become.
