As a PhD. candidate at UC BERKELEY's Graduate School of
Education and as a graduate of HARVARD's Graduate School
of Education, I have extensive background with tutoring,
child development, and teaching practices. I have 6 years
of one-on-one tutoring experience with students ages 3 to
22, working on subjects ranging from basic reading,
writing, and math to test preparation and college
admissions consulting. My unique approach to tutoring
follows the model of an expert consultant; I don't only
tutor the subject, I tutor the person, with great
results. I begin with a thorough assessment of the
student's learning style, motivation, life context, and
personality; then I craft a student-specific and
behavioral-specific curriculum and pedagogy that includes
content mastery, study skills, and motivation. Parents
and students find my services invaluable. References are
available upon request. Please contact me for further
information.
