About Ladan
I am a certified Secondary Mathematics teacher with 12+ years of teaching and tutoring experience working with students throughout New York City and Long Island. I earned my first teaching certification through Queens College's highly selective TIME 2000 Mathematics Program and my second certification in Adolescent Special Education while completing my Master's degree at Adelphi University.
I work with students across a wide range of mathematical levels, from elementary and middle school math through Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, AP Calculus, Regents, ACT/SAT preparation, and other advanced coursework. I also have extensive experience supporting students with IEPs and different learning needs.
My approach goes beyond simply helping students complete homework or arrive at the correct answer. I teach students how to think mathematically, how to identify patterns, break down unfamiliar problems, choose effective strategies, and eventually solve problems independently.
Every student learns differently, which is why I tailor my instruction to the individual. I begin by assessing a student's current understanding, identifying strengths and gaps, and learning how they approach mathematical problems. From there, I build lessons around their specific goals, whether that means strengthening foundational skills, keeping up with a demanding course, preparing for an exam, or taking their math skills to the next level.
One of the most important parts of my teaching is building confidence alongside competence. Many students come to me believing that they are simply "not good at math." I help them replace that mindset with a clear understanding of why they are struggling and, more importantly, a plan for how to improve.
My goal is for students to leave each lesson not only understanding the material, but feeling more capable of tackling the next challenge on their own.

I begin with an individualized assessment to understand the student's current level, strengths, areas for growth, and learning style. If there is a specific topic, assignment, upcoming test, or skill that needs immediate attention, we address that as well.
Lessons are structured and purposeful, but flexible enough to respond to what the student needs in the moment. I use visual models, examples, guided practice, questioning, and step-by-step problem solving to make difficult concepts more accessible.
For students who need additional support, my background in Adolescent Special Education allows me to adapt instruction in ways that accommodate different learning needs. I have extensive experience working with students who have IEPs and understand that the same approach does not work for every learner.
I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I am patient and encouraging, but I also challenge students to think for themselves rather than becoming dependent on their tutor.
Whether a student needs help catching up, preparing for an important exam, mastering advanced mathematics, or simply developing greater confidence, I create a supportive environment while maintaining high academic expectations.
My goal is not just to get a student through today's assignment — it is to help them become a stronger, more confident, and more independent math student.

We feel so lucky to have worked with Ladan for almost 4 years now. She is extremely patient, encouraging and will help your child ace any exam! She helped my child build confidence and strong skills in math and was always reliable and flexible. We highly recommend Ladan for any family looking for an excellent and skilled tutor!
My son had an amazing experience with Ladan who explains concepts clearly, patiently, and in a way that actually makes them easy to understand; she helped my son build confidence, improve his grades, and feel much more comfortable solving problems on his own, and I would highly recommend Ladan to anyone who wants real results in math.
She is professional and conscientious. Ladan did an amazing job fortifying math instruction for both my son and daughter who were in advanced programs at academically rigorous, NYC independent schools. Ladan is effective and a joy to work with.
Ladan is patient, kind, and incredibly skilled at explaining concepts in a way that truly makes sense to kids. Our children feel more confident in math and actually enjoy their sessions, which says everything. She tailors lessons to each child’s needs, keeps them engaged, and celebrates their progress. We’re so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to any family looking for an exceptional math tutor.
Ladan has worked with my daughter throughout her 4 years of high school. She has not only taught her math, but she has also given her tremendous confidence and support . Ladan has incredible patience and has taught my daughter in the most thorough and clear manner. Now that she is graduating from high school she only wants to know if she can take Ladan to college with her! Anyone who has Ladan on their team is beyond lucky!
We’ve had an amazing experience working with Ladan! Both my son and daughter have grown so much in their confidence and understanding since starting sessions. She explains concepts clearly, keeps them engaged, and always finds a way to make even the toughest topics feel manageable. The progress they’ve made has been incredible and look forward to meeting with Ladan. We’re so grateful for her patience, dedication, and the way she truly cares about her students’ success. Highly recommend to any parent looking for real results!
Ladan was so patient and helped ease my daughter’s anxiety around math.
I recommend her wholeheartedly!!Ladan was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive, organized, and helped my son learn a full year of honors math in a couple of weeks. Highly recommend!
Ladan is always prepared and organized. She is able to explain difficult concepts clearly, adjusting her pace for what my children needed at different times. She is also very encouraging and liaises very well with parents.
Ladan has been a true gift and partner. She brings a calm, steady presence that makes students feel capable, even when the work is tough. What stands out most is her belief in her students. She knows how to encourage without overwhelming, and she turns moments of frustration into moments of progress.
Because of her support, we watched a real shift: challenges stopped feeling like roadblocks and started feeling like things that could be worked through with patience and effort. My daughter went from a B to a A in honors math. That kind of confidence building is priceless.
We are so grateful for the care, dedication, and heart she brings to every session. Any family would be lucky to have her.Something I like about working with Ladan is if I have a question, or if I’m confused about something she always goes over it with me and makes sure I understand it before we move on.
She is knowledgeable, flexible and overall a great person to work with!Ladan truly is an exceptional tutor. She helped me understand the basics of the information. I highly recommend her for all math tutoring! Thank you so much Ladan!
Ladan was outstanding in tutoring for both classroom mathematics and state exams! She is kind and caring, and most of all, she is amazingly patient! She makes sure the student understands each concept before moving to the next, and she is also great and experienced with students who have special needs!
