I’m an experienced educator and private tutor with 9+ years of experience supporting students in both classroom and one-on-one settings. I hold a B.A. in English from UC Berkeley and an MBA from UCLA Anderson School of Management, giving me a strong background in communication, critical thinking, writing, quantitative reasoning, and academic strategy.

I am also a certified teacher in Arizona for grades 6–12 and have worked in traditional classroom environments, small-group instruction, academic intervention, test preparation, and individualized tutoring. Over the years, I have worked with more than 200 students across a wide range of ages, subjects, and ability levels.

My tutoring experience includes elementary and middle school academics, high school coursework, writing and English, math, study skills, SAT/ACT and other standardized test preparation, and support for advanced and high-achieving students. I have also designed personalized curriculum and enrichment materials for students who need instruction beyond their grade level.

My approach is highly individualized. I focus not only on helping students improve grades and test scores, but also on strengthening foundational skills, study habits, confidence, and independent problem-solving. Whether a student is catching up, preparing for an important exam, or looking for an additional academic challenge, I tailor each session to their needs and goals.
