Private math tutoring and standardized test prep — from basic math through Calculus, and the ISEE through the GRE.
The approach
At its heart, learning mathematics is about having the courage to keep going — even when it seems impossible.
My particular gift is creating a safe space for my students to face their biggest academic challenges. Alongside an expert knowledge of mathematics, I put my students at ease in the face of the biggest block to learning — the fear of solving seemingly insurmountable problems.
I offer high-quality individual instruction for students of all ages, from private tutoring to standardized test preparation. Whatever you need, I will do my best to meet it. Tell me where you're stuck and we'll take it from there.
— and yes, we'll have fun doing it.
Kind words
You have been the steadfast anchor in Sam's academic life. You have given him confidence and opened the possibilities in his life. You have taught him not only math but how to conquer his darkest fears and worst problems — by attacking them, by digging deeper and trying harder. You have made a real difference in this young man's life and I cannot thank you enough.

I took one lesson with Jodi and knew I would remain her student throughout the rest of my academic career. She helped me excel in a way I never had before — I went from merely getting through to truly understanding. Without her, I don't know if I would be at my dream school, NYU.

Her teaching skills are superlative, but I've been equally impressed with her empathy and compassion, flexibility and warmth. This is the kind of teacher who truly wants her students to succeed — and does everything in her power to make it happen. What an absolute gem.
