"I’ve been a private tutor for many years and also work onsite as a tutor at a college prep high school in San Francisco, CA. I provide academic support for all subjects K-12 and assist college students with math and writing. I’m also highly experienced with test prep for the SSAT, HSPT, SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, CBEST, and TOEFL.

I am currently only accepting online students.

My work often involves on-going support for students, helping with executive functioning and organization, note-taking/study skills, staying on top of homework, preparing for tests, and working on long-term research and writing assignments. Many of my students see me for standardized test prep and help with developing personal statements and essays for college applications and graduate school. Other students take French and ESL language classes with me. I definitely cover a wide range of topics every day!

I have a masters degree in social work and a background as a counselor. Over the years, I’ve worked with many students who have a learning difference or ADD/ADHD. I believe that part of my success as a tutor is due to my empathic approach and ability to build strong, positive relationships with my students. I find it incredibly rewarding to see my students progress and gain confidence while mastering challenging material and improving their writing by developing an individual voice and style.

I also have an orange cat named Finley, and we enjoy doing crossword puzzles together." less...
