"Hi there! I'm Dean and I would love to help you achieve your academic goals. I graduated cum laude from UC San Diego with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and a minor in Political Science. I have six years of experience as a teacher, teaching supervisor, and assistant director of a learning center. I teach a wide range of subjects and a wide range of grade levels (yes, I love math too!). I enjoy making learning fun for my students and I'm able to adjust my teaching style based on their needs.

I enjoy building lasting relationships with my students and their families. I love to watch their confidence and skill grow and I am willing to advocate on their behalf (e.g. communicating with their teachers, writing letters of recommendation). As a teacher and father of three, I'm acutely aware of the many challenges facing the modern student. Whether you a struggling to catch up, or looking to get ahead, I'm here to help." less...
