I graduated summa cum laude from UC Berkeley with a 4.0 GPA in English and have spent the past six years helping students become stronger readers, writers, and critical thinkers. My background in literature, writing, and communication shapes my approach. I focus on clarity, structure, and confidence. Many students come to me feeling overwhelmed by essays or unsure how to express their ideas. I break assignments into clear steps so they can write with purpose and pride. As a former teacher in multiple Bay Area schools, I understand the different expectations across grade levels and help students navigate those demands so they can excel in their English classes.
My tutoring experience includes one on one support from elementary school through college, along with guidance for competitive private school and college admissions. I have taught ESL, supported students with learning needs, and coached high achievers seeking enrichment or standout application essays. Before starting my own education practice, I worked as a consultant at Cardinal Education, helping families with writing, admissions, and academic planning. Over the years I have developed a structured but flexible method that blends clear instruction, guided practice, and short diagnostics so every session meets the student’s exact needs. Many of my students have gone on to earn admission to top programs including MIT, Columbia, Stanford, Berkeley, and Harker.
My sessions emphasize mentorship as much as skill building. I begin by assessing strengths and gaps, then create a plan that gives students tools they can use in and beyond our sessions. Parents often share that their child becomes more confident and clearer in their writing within weeks. My goal is always to help each student unleash their full potential.
