Tutor seeking to help kids find their highest potential!

Before moving to the Bay Area this August to pursue my graduate studies in 
Berkeley, I served as a middle and high school teacher at an independent 
college preparatory school. As a class dean and student advisor I worked with 
students and their families to create habits and skills that were individual and 
comprehensive. My focus is the big picture and your student's unique gifts and 
challenges. I strive to spark intellectual curiosity and help students develop the 
tools they need to be successful long term. It is a student-centered approach 
that empowers kids to take ownership of, and holds them accountable for, their 
own learning. I also have experience and training working with ELL students.

My rates are flexible (needs-based). I live on the peninsula and commute 
regularly to Berkeley. 

I'm very excited to have this opportunity to work one-on-one with your student!
Warmly,

Tutoring and Educational Consulting
.
I earned a B.S. in Mathematics with minors in Sociology and Computer 
Science. I approach History from broader cause and effect perspective that 
ties in current events. History has meaning this way.

Educational consulting includes the entire system in which a learner is 
immersed; school, teachers, family, IEP, academic goals, and life goals. I 
support the learner and his or her system of support.

A student may be missing a key piece of information or a step in the process. 
Just as often there is an emotional component or learning strategy deficit. I 
use Emotional Freedom Technique? and NLP? for test anxiety, learning 
strategies, and self-concept as a learner.
