Greetings! I am offering one-on-one tutoring in a variety of subjects to young learners in San Francisco. I am available throughout the year to aid elementary and high school students with math, science, English and social studies. I also offer lessons in French, statistics and research/composition skills-- plus test preparation for SAT, ACT, GED and GRE.

I am an adaptable and communicative tutor, with a broad knowledge base and varied teaching experiences. After graduating magna cum laude from Georgetown University, I studied and worked on sustainable development issues in Washington, D.C. for several years. I am now pursuing a career in education. I have worked with students in a range of settings-- as a K-12 substitute teacher, an after-school program instructor, and a graduate teaching assistant in geography and economics. My time spent at the head of the classroom has granted me a great deal of patience for working with a range of learning styles, and a passion for creating positive learning experiences.

Good luck, and keep studying!

Q & A

What is your teaching philosophy?

My philosophy regarding education is that each student has it within themselves to surpass what they see as their limits. I believe that each person is an individual, with their own strengths, interests and challenges, and is capable of overcoming learning challenges provided that they are taught in a way that incorporates their interests and plays to their strengths.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

In a first lesson, I first take time with the student and parent to learn about their background: which areas have posed difficulties, what subjects are easier, and the specific goals they hope to attain through tutoring. I then work with the student to assess their current level of knowledge, review materials currently assigned by their school, and discuss their learning style.
