I always put the student first, take the time to understand their needs, and provide personalized assistance. I couple that instruction with real world wisdom and a deep-seated passion for knowledge.

As a tutor for over 10 years, I have helped students of varied backgrounds and grade levels (junior high through college) improve their writing and critical thinking skills. I always put the student first, take the time to understand their needs, and provide personalized assistance. I couple that instruction with real world wisdom and a deep-seated passion for knowledge. These enable me to give students the tools and confidence they need to succeed, not only as students but as individuals.
My education includes an M.A. from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. from U.C. Berkeley. I also earned a certificate in scriptwriting through UCLA Extension. I've worked at various tutoring centers in the Bay Area, including Myers Learning Center where I received training in organization and time management for students with executive function issues.
In addition to working in education, I've also worked as a researcher in both academic and corporate settings and as an academic proofreader preparing scholarly articles for publication. I currently work with a Philadelphia-based college counseling company.
In my spare time, I like to read, watch anime, go for hikes, and spend time with my cat, Soot.
