Questions people
actually ask.

Yes. Up to 20 miles from downtown Las Vegas. That covers the Strip, Henderson, Summerlin, North Las Vegas, and most of the valley. We can also meet at a library, coffee shop, or wherever works. Travel fees are negotiated case by case for anything beyond 20 miles — just ask.

$35/hr in-person, $30/hr online. First lesson is always free — no strings, no commitment. You get a full hour, we figure out where you are and what you need, and then you decide if you want to continue.

A full diagnostic session — we'll do a placement assessment and a 10-minute structured interview so I understand not just what you don't know, but why, and how you learn. By the end of it I'll have a specific plan for you. You leave with real value regardless of whether you book again.

No. Session by session, no packages required. Book when you need it, pause when you don't. There's no contract.

Yes — $30/hr, same curriculum, same approach. Works for students anywhere in Nevada or out of state. Good option if you want flexibility or have a tight schedule.

Yes — and honestly this is where I'm most effective. I taught classrooms of adults with every kind of learning barrier you can imagine, under conditions that make a disruptive teenager look easy by comparison. Different isn't broken, it just needs a different key. I've found it for a lot of students that other tutors gave up on.

That's not a disqualifier — it's useful information. Tell me what happened and I'll tell you honestly whether I think I can help. I've managed rooms full of people that society had written off entirely. I don't scare easily.

Not in approach — adults often learn faster than kids because they have real motivation. The diagnostic and the lesson planning are the same. The context I use to explain things adapts to whoever's in front of me.

Middle school through adult. I'm comfortable with kids and I've been around them my whole life — three sisters who all babysat, family that's naturally good with children. No age is a problem.

GED and HiSET prep, algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, calculus I and II, statistics, differential equations, linear algebra, SAT/ACT math, and general math at any level. If you're unsure whether I cover your subject, just ask — I'll tell you honestly.

Nevada offers both and they're equally accepted everywhere. The HiSET costs about $50 less and can be taken on paper instead of a computer — which is a real advantage for students who aren't comfortable on a keyboard. We make that call together during Session Zero based on your specific situation.

Yes — and knowing where you failed is actually useful diagnostic information. It tells me exactly where to start. A previous failure isn't a ceiling, it's a starting point.

Yes. I'm self-taught through calculus, linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, and abstract algebra. I learned all of it without a professor, which means I can explain it without jargon. If you're in a college math course, reach out and tell me the specific course — I'll tell you honestly if I can help.

Kumon is a worksheet-based system with fixed curriculum. It works for some students and not others. What I do is build a Dynamic Learning Profile for each student — a living document that tracks what you know, how you learn, what trips you up, and what context makes things click. Every session is planned around you specifically, not around a generic grade-level worksheet.

No. The AI is a tool I use between sessions to plan curriculum based on your specific learning profile. Think of it as a senior tutor that remembers every detail about your learning history and helps me sequence the next session optimally. The teaching itself is me — in the room, reading how you're responding, adapting in real time. The AI makes the planning smarter. It doesn't replace the human part.

Depends on where you're starting and what you're working toward. Most students notice real understanding — not just getting answers right — within a few sessions. For GED prep with a solid foundation already, 8-12 weeks of consistent work is realistic. For students starting with significant gaps, longer. I'll give you an honest assessment at Session Zero.
