What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead math instruction or tutoring, design curriculum, and build student-centered learning programs in an inclusive, growth-oriented environment.

I am a math educator with a Master of Arts in Secondary Education and 16+ years teaching and tutoring across secondary and college levels. I combine deep mathematical knowledge with practical classroom and one-on-one instruction experience.

I have founded and run education businesses, including an online tutoring company and coordination of academic programs, demonstrating an entrepreneur mindset and ownership of curriculum and student outcomes.

My international experience includes teaching in Norway, Spain, the USA, and operating educational and tourism businesses while traveling extensively to 72 countries. I excel at connecting with diverse learners and adapting instruction to multiple curricula (IB, Cambridge, IGCSE, Norwegian).

I focus on creating clear, organized learning experiences, integrating digital design and computational thinking, and building genuine relationships that support students' academic growth and confidence.
