About Acacia

Formerly from New York City, I have always had an affinity for being able to break down math concepts in understandable ways. I attempt to teach math, not show and tell. Math is a building skill. Without a proper foundation, developing strong math skills becomes very challenging. I attempt to incorporate how a student thinks into the learning process.

I thoroughly enjoy the smiles on my student's faces when they understand a concept that may have been challenging to them. I enjoy them "teaching" me what they learned because if they can explain what they are doing, I know that they have a good understanding of the concepts.

I started tutoring when I was in junior high school because my friends liked how I can break down the math that we were being taught into ways that made sense to them. I carried that math skill through high school and through college. I recall one of my college professors trying to get me to go into teaching full time but I was set on being a Finance major and making it to Wall Street. While working for the New York Stock Exchange and many other financial industry since then, I have always tutored in math while maintaining a full time day job. Teaching math is and will always be a part of who I am and what I do.



I am an alumni of Teach for America. I have been tutoring math for over 20 years prior to arriving in Las Vegas. I formerly taught full time in Las Vegas from 2014-2018 at Western HS and Agassi Prep (currently known as Democracy Prep at the Agassi Campus). 

I earned my Masters In Education for Math Curriculum and Instruction from UNLV.

I attempt to understand the questions and challenges a student may be having with certain math concepts. I ask questions regarding a student's foundational knowledge of a concept to connect what they may already know to new concepts.



I have worked with students of all age groups - from kindergarten and first graders all the way up to college students / adult learners. I have worked with autistic students (including students with Aspergers,) students with IEPs/504s, general education students and honors students.



Meet with the teacher and talk to them. Find out if your personalities match or clash. It is very difficult to learn from someone who does not take interest in you as a person. It is exceedingly challenging to have a conducive learning environment with someone that you dislike and/or distrust.



I ran into one of former students while I was out and about. She recognized me and was so happy when I recognized her. She got choked up and emotinal when she told me how happy she was to see me and how happy she will be when she tells her mother that she ran into me. She told me how much my tutoring afterschool helped her. She said that she learned so much and understood so much more, more than she ever thought she could, when it comes to math. She was also very appreciative of the life lessons, wisdom nuggets, and humor I was able to interject into our tutoring sessions. She said she had a lot of fun but she also learned a lot and was very grateful.



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What, if any, techniques or resources have already been tried/used to assist in the learning process?

Are there any notes that have been provided by the teacher that can assist in working through problems?

Do you understand your learning style and how you learn the best - visual, kinetically (more physical hands-on activities), aurally (listening), etc.?
