Welcome!

I tutor children from pre-K to grade 6, specializing in mathematics. I want to help you create the educational experience you have always wanted for your children.

Summer 2017 Math Enrichment Camps for 6-12 year olds

I’m offering exciting camps this summer, all limited to 6 children. Please email me if you have any questions or want to register!

Tuition for a two-day camp is $95, which includes take-home materials for activities and games to play as a family. All sessions take place at my home teaching studio in Lake Forest Park, and all you need to bring is a water bottle, your courage, and curiosity!
