Hi there! My name is Michelle and I believe anyone can achieve academic success with drive, dedication and focus. Good grades are not just for good test-takers and smart kids. If you have goals and are willing to put in the energy, I will help you find the most efficient way to reach your goals.

I teach many subjects which you can learn more about below:

I am a native speaker of English and Mandarin Chinese. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and help you on your language journey. I have learned French and Italian at the advanced levels in University. I have 11 years of language tutoring experience. I believe that each individual learns differently and at a different pace and it is important to adapt to each student’s learning style. I like to make lesson plans fun through music, film and poetry.

I scored a perfect score on the SAT French exam. I received the Best French Major award and Best French Research Essay award at UCLA. I graduated with Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa honors for French and Italian at UCLA.

I would love the chance to meet you and help you with your language journey! I have been at all levels of learning a language—beginning, intermediate and advanced—and believe learning a language should be fun and engaging each step of the way.

I scored a perfect score on the SAT English exam and the 99+ percentile on the SAT. I have studied English literature extensively.

I have 15 years of video editing and production experience. I primarily use Adobe Premiere Pro. I won Best Screenplay, Best Picture, and Best Actress Awards at my local short film festivals.
