About Trista

Hi, I'm TJ! I'm a licensed teacher with a strong background in math education and child development. I've taught and tutored students from elementary through high school, and I specialize in breaking down complex math concepts into approachable, confidence-building steps. Whether your student needs help catching up, staying on track, or getting ahead, I bring patience, creativity, and proven strategies to every session. I believe in meeting learners where they're at and helping them grow not just in math skills, but in confidence and independence, too. I also have experience running overnight summer camps and working with students of all learning styles and personalities. I'm available for both short-term and ongoing tutoring in the Duluth area (or online), and I'd love to be a part of your child's learning journey!
