Greetings!
I am a joyful tutor, dedicated to the academic and moral
development of your child. I have studied at Stanford
University and at UC Berkeley and throughout my own academic
pursuits have accumulated more than five years of tutorial
experience. While I am able to tutor in just about all the
subjects, I have particular strengths in mathematics (up to
Calculus) Sciences (AP/Honors/IB level Biology, Chemistry
and Physics), Humanities and Literature and Languages (first

Feel warmly welcomed to inquire about rates and other

willing to work out a plan and a payment that works for us
both. I teach and inspire the joy of learning and moral
development because I love to do so and also to support
myself as a graduate student, living modestly in the
expensive Bay Area.

Dear Parents:
I offer academic tutoring, organizational and homework
management, and writing coaching from a perspective of
conscious awareness.
Within a session, we slow down the academic process, looking
closely at study skills, patterns of thought, and
unconscious habits that arise in the homework context.
As students become aware of these habits of mind, they
become confident and self-sustaining.
Writing sessions focus on writing as an art form, intuitive
process, and joyful endeavor, honing analytical skill while
deeply listening for our own intuitive knowledge and
authentic voice.
Subjects tutored:
Writing, Language Arts, Literature, Philosophy, college
essays, SAT prep, math through Geometry, ESL.
One-on-one sessions with experienced teacher, writer, UC
Berkeley curriculum developer, coach and 2002 Harvard
graduate take place in your home, school, or local destination.
Resume and references gladly provided upon request.

After experiencing eight years of home-schooling, four years of public high
school, countless hours of private tutoring, and four years at Stanford
University researching about education, psychology, and learning, I have
realized that what is most important about early education is not so much
what children are learning, but how they are learning.
I am 23 years old and hold a B.A. in Psychology from Stanford. I can tutor
almost all subjects through 8th grade. My method of tutoring often involves
creating learning materials with the child, using their personal interests and
skills to carry each lesson further. Offering choices like these promotes a
childs self-efficacy in education, which will not only help them to enjoy the
process of learning, but also give them the ability to become an independent
learner.
I hope to share my knowledge and experience with parents and students, to
help children cultivate greater enjoyment and excitement for what they learn.

revolve around working with and advocating for young people. I hold a
bachelor's degree in both English and History from West Virginia Wesleyan

I am a teacher taking a sabbatical from the Oakland Unified
School District for a year. I am very good at helping
children learn and believe in themselves, and would like to
continue doing so during the time in which I am out of the
classroom. I have taught in Oakland for 8 years, and
Sacramento for 2.
I have succeeded with children where often others have not
been able to, and have successfully reached the ''difficult''
children, or the children who have different learning
styles, as well as the children who do well in academic
settings. I can provide testimonials from other parents.
I can tutor for elementary school (reading, phonics,
writing, math, art, science, Spanish, social studies, study
skills/habits), or middle and high school (some sciences,
Spanish, some math, reading comprehension, writing, study
skills). If you email me, I can send you my resume and a
more complete listing of my services. Thank you!
