Greetings!
My name is Dustin. I am a passionate educator and former classroom teacher at the Elementary school level who loves to help students learn, succeed in their classes, and grow as individuals. I graduated with honors from UC Davis with a major in Human Development and Minors in Education and Music and went on to receive my Teaching Credential and Masters of Education from UC Davis as well. I have extensive experience teaching middle-school age students in classroom and small-group settings across subject areas, from Reading to Math to Art History and Social Studies. I have also had countless opportunities to work with students of different ages in different volunteer or extracurricular contexts such as Rock Climbing Summer Camps, local Math clubs, and teaching Sunday School.

I hope to use my experience coaching, mentoring, and teaching students in these different contexts to bring excitement, structure, differentiation, and deep content-knowledge to bear on your academic needs. I would love to provide individually-tailored instruction in any of the following areas: 4th-9th Grade Math, Reading, Writing (Essays, Research, Fiction), Social Studies (Ancient History, European History, World History, Art History), Music History, Film Studies, and Elementary Science. I can work with students on existing coursework or materials or provide my own content and approach as needed. I would love to help with homework, prepare for exams, or provide supplemental instruction to get students up to speed or to stay on track with their courses.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule an appointment! I would be honored to help you in your educational journey!
