"Hi everyone. I'm Brett and I graduated magna cum laude from San Francisco State University as a double major, with a degree in French and Theater. Prior to SFSU, I began my college studies within the University of California system, where I travelled abroad and spent a semester studying in the south of France.

As I love working with students, immediately after college I began to teach at French-American lycees (schools) in San Francisco, and then NYC, where I taught theater, literature, English, and French. I then moved to private tutoring, mentoring, and advising, which I have been doing for over 14 years. I love working with students of all ages, backgrounds, learning proficiencies, and abilities. I have taught nearly every subject, but have a particular knack for languages, including French, English, writing, and literature; history, in particular US and French History, social and political science; as well as test prep, with extensive experience in the SAT, ACT, SSAT, ISEE, and HSPT. I work with many college students on University writing, social-science, psychology, and political science courses. Additionally, I have years-long experience with the college application process, the student written personal statement, and supplemental essays. I am very knowledgable about Universities nationwide, but have helped students apply to nearly every college in British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California (and know the UC and CSU system very well).

I am also an actor, producer, and film translator and have been fortunate to work in TV and film for the last 15 years.

I am passionate about teaching, care for my students and their achievements. If interested, I'd be more than happy to set up an introductory zoom consultation, free of charge, to assess your or your child's academic standing and needs.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks and look forward to connecting!" less...
