"I am a High School teacher who specializes in mathematics and writing but also tutors in many other subjects! I graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.A. in Cognitive Science, a concentration in Cognitive Neuroscience, and two Minors: Ancient Egyptian & Near Eastern Civilizations and Cal Teach (Math & Science Education). I have since earned an A.S. in Mathematics equivalency and completed UCB's Cal Teach Credential Program for Secondary Math. I have taught Math 1 & 2, Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, and AP Calc AB.

In the past, I taught a DeCal (UCB class taught by (and for) students) for 3 years on the reading and writing of Middle Egyptian Hieroglyphs. I've also completed field placements in 3rd, 7th, and 8th Grade classes and a 7th/8th Grade after school program. I taught SAT Math prep at Oakland HS for People's Test Preparation Services (PTPS) and Pre-Algebra for Diablo Valley College (DVC)'s College for Kids program. Aside from my main subjects, I also tutor in others like psychology and US history and a variety of test prep topics (e.g. AP, SAT, GED, CHSPE, HESI, TEAS, ASVAB, CBEST, CSET, college entrance, Plumber's Union, etc).

I teach students HOW to learn. In high school, I competed in Varsity sports, Mock Trial, & Model UN while taking AP classes and being in multiple clubs so I can help students to study efficiently! I was also homeschooled K-8 so I can relate to independent study experiences too.

While I am flexible, I currently ask for a 16hr cancellation policy. Cancellations after that point, tardiness over 15 minutes (or repeated tardiness) without prior communication, may result in cancellation fees since I cannot book another student during your slot. This does not mean these amounts WILL be charged, just that I reserve the right to do so if I see fit.

I look forward to helping students achieve their goals!" less...
