Greetings! I proudly educate as a tutor, teacher, and school administrator with state credentials.

I am UC Berkeley grad with my BA in English and my MA in Educational Leadership (Principal Leadership Institute). I earned my teaching credential with Tulane University.

Even though I retired early to write, I keep tutoring. For 22 years I successfully: taught and tutored English, study skills, reading, writing, and Academic Decathlon; led schools' tutoring and English/ESL departments; and served students, parents, colleagues, and school communities as a vice principal and principal in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I facilitate learning through inquiry. We discover our interests, develop opinions, and create arguments, details, and structure. Our main and subordinate clauses in complex sentences serve our plans, our theses. We author drafts. Nothing need be perfect, so we gain confidence to grow and better our work. We read and think critically, analyze our content and mechanics, and edit and proofread. I tailor tutoring to each student’s individual needs, known as differentiating. One size simply cannot fit all. When students know educators are consistently there for them, students succeed.

I look forward to working with you.

Best Regards,

Stephen

Bible Studies

I have taught the Bible as Literature at the high school level for eight years. I have taught the books of Genesis, Exodus, Song of Songs, Gospel of St. Matthew, and the Revelation of St. John. I have taken English coursework at UC Berkeley while studying English including the Bible as Literature. I relate much of Western literature as a high school teacher to two sources: the Bible and classical (ancient) literature and mythology.
Classics,

Classics

I taught classics (ancient literature) at the high school level for 9 years: Hesiod; Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey; works of Plato/Socrates; Sappho; Ovid; Virgil; Terence; and multiple other classical authors and works. I studied the classics (Greek and Roman literature) extensively at UC Berkeley while studying English.

Religion

I taught comparative religions as literature at the secondary (high school) junior and senior level for eight years.

I have taken English coursework at UC Berkeley while studying English including the Bible as Literature and Comparative Religion.

Stephen helped with the essay and analysis of the subject, but also took the time to teach about poetry, writing mechanics. My son feels much more confident in his understanding. Excellent tutor.

Kelly, 3 lessons with Stephen

Experienced Tutor

Stephen has done a great job connecting with my son who is quiet and reserved. He’s helped him to improve his grade in English through his lesson plans. The way he presents information is engaging and goes deeper than what my son is learning in class making the sessions worthwhile!

Regina, 4 lessons with Stephen

Stephen is a wonderful tutor. On top of being very knowledgeable, he has a unique style of teaching. My daughter is very comfortable and is learning.
