...in my school district when I was a junior (without tutoring, even!). I started tutoring the Verbal side of the SAT in Los Angeles in 1999. Then I branched out into the SAT Math and then into academic tutoring in many subject areas. I was tutoring celebrity kids in Malibu mostly at that time. Since then, I've tutored students from 1st grade to college in many different academic subjects, and always continued to tutor the...

...Public Speaking. Although education is a big part of my life, I do have passions outside of teaching. One of my favorite interests is culinary arts, whether that is going to a great restaurant or making an incredible dish at home.

Outside of math, I have a degree in psychology and am very interested in the topic. In my spare time, I also like hiking, mountain climbing, table tennis, running, reading, Ethiopian and Thai restaurants, and chess.

I believe that any student can learn. I believe that the only reason a student may be struggling is because material isn't being taught in the way that suits the individual.
