teaching & tutoring

Hi! I'm Arielle! I am:​​

• a certified teacher (in K-5 and middle school math, but I also spent the '24-'25 school year subbing for 9th grade algebra, so that's all fresh as well)

• also an expert in punctuation, parts of speech, etc, so can help there too!

• big on patience, fun, creativity, and a drive for that "aha!" moment

• an AuDHDer who understands that all brains work differently

​

I have over ten years of both formal and informal education experience: substitute teaching (short-term and long-term), children's museum education, children's specialist at an independent bookstore, individual tutoring, group tutoring, leading after-school programs, and a lifetime of just being excited about numbers. 

​

I know a lot of people (both kids and adults!) are scared of math and feel they just aren't good at it, but I think they just haven't had the right teacher yet. I want to be that person! Sometimes you just have to come at a problem from a different direction; we get so caught up in what we're "supposed" to be doing, that we forget we're "allowed" to try to see it it a different way.

​

I'm located in central NJ, and sessions are virtual for everyone's convenience. We can also discuss in-person meetings if necessary (and possible). 

• 1 hour session: $70

• 1.5 hour session: $105

Testimonials: some actual things said to me by my 9th graders during the '24-'25 school year:

"You're the first teacher who actually helped me understand math!"

"I would NEVER have passed this class without your help!"

"No, wait, I actually get it!!! That's all it is?? I thought this was gonna be harder!!"

"I hate math a LITTLE bit less when you're the one teaching it, Mrs. MB!"

"MRS. MB!!!!! I got a hundred on my test!!!!!!!! I couldn't have done that without your help!!!!!"
