I am a math teacher with over 10 years of experience helping students not only improve their skills but also build genuine confidence in math. I hold a Master’s degree in Soil and Water Science from the University of Florida, and over the years, I’ve taught students from the college level all the way down to middle school - grades 6 through Algebra I.Right now, I’m proud to be part of the Round Rock ISD middle school team, where I’ve taught for the past 7.5 years (after 2.5 years at Harmony Public Schools). Whether your child needs help catching up, staying on track, or being challenged with accelerated content, I love meeting students where they are and helping them grow.I truly believe math doesn’t have to be stressful. With the right support and a little encouragement, every child can enjoy math and succeed in it. My goal is to make learning math feel possible, and fun - because when students enjoy what they’re doing, their progress skyrockets.A little about me outside the classroom: I love to garden and grow my own organic vegetables.  I’m an avid reader and enjoy quiet moments with a good book. Sudoku is my go-to brain game. Here’s a fun fact - I used to play professional cricket and proudly represented at state level in India. I’m also a mom of two amazing kids - a junior at Round Rock High School and a 7th grader at Walsh Middle School.Being around children is my happy place. I love connecting with students, getting them involved, and seeing that “aha” moment when a tricky math concept finally clicks. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and brings both experience and heart to math education, I’d love to work with you and your child.Let’s make math a subject your child feels good about. I promise you’ll get nothing but the best.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce and Accounting and over eight years of experience as a middle school teacher in India, I have dedicated my career to inspiring young minds through Mathematics and English. Alongside classroom teaching, I’ve provided personalized home tutoring, helping students build strong academic foundations that support lifelong learning.After relocating to the United States, I continued nurturing my passion by tutoring elementary and middle school students while also managing a full-time career in real estate. Yet, teaching remains my true calling - a joy and purpose that deepens with every child I mentor.Guiding my two boys from basic concepts to advanced mathematics has reaffirmed my belief in the power of early skills. Every child is unique, and when Mathematics is taught effectively, it transforms into a life skill - fueling critical thinking, resilience, and independent problem-solving.As a certified Singapore Math educator, I use strategies rooted in heuristics, visualization, and logical reasoning. By breaking down complex problems into simple, engaging steps, I help students develop confidence, cultivate a love for learning, and grow into strong, self-sufficient thinkers. My two-pillar approach - conceptual understanding and guided practice - ensures that students don’t just learn but truly thrive.Outside of teaching, I cherish spending quality time with family and friends. Traveling is one of my greatest joys—it allows me to explore new cultures, recharge, and gain fresh perspectives. But my heart is always full when I’m around children - mentoring, laughing, learning, and simply being part of their journey. It’s my greatest joy and, perhaps, my biggest “weakness.”This journey is more than education - it’s a heartfelt mission to nurture curiosity, ignite potential, and help every child grow into a confident, capable learner.I warmly invite you to experience the difference - where passion meets purpose, and your child’s success is my greatest reward.
