About Maya

Empowering students to move beyond rote memorization is at the heart of my teaching practice. With a year of experience supporting elementary and middle school learners in Math, English, and test preparation, I prioritize building both confidence and critical thinking skills. I adapt my methods to your unique needs by observing how you interact with new material, whether through visual aids, hands-on activities, or open discussion. When concepts feel challenging, I break them into manageable steps and connect the lessons to your personal interests to keep you engaged. I believe clear communication with families is essential for building the trust needed for long-term academic success. Witnessing that "aha!" moment when a difficult concept finally clicks is the most rewarding part of my work. I look forward to helping you reach your goals and discovering the joy of learning together.
