About Riffel Tutoring

I founded Riffel Tutoring on a simple belief: academic success should go hand in hand with genuine confidence and family harmony. With more than 12 years of tutoring experience across subjects from elementary school through college, along with over 10 years of teaching students from 6th grade through high school, I've dedicated my career to helping students truly understand what they're learning instead of simply memorizing formulas for the next test.

As a Navy veteran with a degree in Nuclear Engineering, I bring a structured, evidence-based approach to every tutoring session. I specialize in math and science while incorporating study skills coaching that helps students build lasting academic habits and become more independent learners. Whether we meet in person or online, I customize every lesson to fit each student's unique learning style, goals, and challenges.

I proudly serve families throughout Cottonwood, AZ. As an Arizona ESA-approved vendor with a valid IVP fingerprint clearance card, I'm committed to providing trusted, high-quality academic support. Whether a student needs help with algebra, AP calculus, test preparation, or college-level coursework, I create personalized learning plans that build confidence, strengthen understanding, and support long-term success.

My goal is to turn confusion into mastery, reduce academic stress, and help students and their families experience greater confidence and peace throughout the learning journey.
