Hi there! I’m Kalani (formerly known to clients as Sadei). With a background as a Senior Academic Advisor at a top-tier university, I provide the roadmap students need for long term success. With 10 years of experience and nearly 100 '5-star' reviews, I provide private coaching to help you stay ahead from your first day of class to the day you graduate.

Most students aren’t failing because they’re not capable- they’re simply unsupported and overwhelmed. I’ve been passionately helping all types of students because I know what it’s like to juggle school, a 9-5, and the pressure to have it all “figured out”. I graduated with Latin Honors from a nationally-ranked university and I use that same high-standard approach to help you be successful.

*Available for Late Night East Coast Sessions!
Aloha! Since I am based in Hawai’i, I’m wide awake when it’s late on the East Coast. If you are a night owl or need a late “emergency” session, I’m right here and ready to help.

How I Help You Succeed:
Academic Strategist & Success Coach: I provide high-level consultancy for your academic future. From precise course selection to long-term degree planning, I ensure that you stay on track and graduate as efficiently as possible-maximizing your results while protecting your time and resources.

Success For Every Brain: I specialize in supporting neurodivergent learners. Leveraging my background in behavioral therapy, I help students with ADHD or anxiety turn overwhelming projects into easier milestones. I help you master complex assignments by customizing it to your learning style.

Elite Academic Advocacy: If you're navigating a difficult instructor or at risk of failing, I guide you on how to best protect your academic standing. I advise on faculty communication and grade recovery plans, equipping you with the insights necessary to resolve crises and stay on track for graduation.

I would love to help you build your success story. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to simply schedule a session.

AP Human Geo help

Sadei did an excellent job giving my son study tips for how to be successful on his AP Human Geo unit tests. She helped him break down the multiple choice including how to figure out the correct choice even if you’re not sure of the definition. She also gave him lots of note taking tips to help him summarize his notes and keep them shorter and tighter which should help him narrow down what to study before his unit tests. My son finished his lesson raving about how much she helped him. Can’t wait to see what his grade is on his next test.

Kim, 18 lessons with Kalani

Organized and very approachable

From my son: “Sadei had the lesson laid out before we met, and when going over information she makes sure you know everything she’s talking about and always stops to make sure you’re understanding. When practicing the MQC or FRQ, if you get the answer wrong she goes over it thoroughly and tells you how to fix every little detail.”

Jose, 1 lesson with Kalani

Knowledgable, fun, and very patient.

Sadei helped me with my AP Human Geography and 9th grade English finals! She went above and beyond by even creating Powerpoints to better explain things to me! If I ever had trouble she was super patient and gave me hand--without her help I wouldn't have gotten a 95% on my APHG final, and 96% on my English final!

Haiyun, 2 lessons with Kalani

Patient and knowledgeable tutor!!

Sadei really knows her subject matter. Even though the subject matter may not always be interesting for my daughter she breaks things down into easy segments and makes sure all questions are answered and any frustrations dealt with. So glad we found Sadei!

Christin, 6 lessons with Kalani

Patient and knowledgeable tutor

Sadei is always punctual and works with students patiently on concepts that are sometimes challenging. She has made the learning process fun and easy. I highly recommend her!

Christin, 6 lessons with Kalani

Very knowledgeable and great to work with

Sadei has been the perfect tutor so far for me in AP European History. Like me she was an IB student, so she had the same class not so many years ago. She is working through topics from the class with me and helping me practice writing responses to Document-Based Questions, which is one of the things I have struggled with in class. I will know for sure how how helpful the tutoring is when I hopefully see my performance improve! Sadei is prepared for our sessions and very nice to work with.

Catherine, 7 lessons with Kalani

Amazing tutor!

Sadei was very professional and patient with me. She was even on time with emailing back my revised paper before the deadline.

Laila, 36 lessons with Kalani

Sadei is warm and engaging

Sadei is warm and engaging in her tutoring sessions, and makes studying fun. My 9th grade Human Geo student enjoyed working with her over a 3 day review period for his final in Human Geo. He failed every exam until his final and with Sadei's help got 85%. We will reach out to her again.

Susan, 3 lessons with Kalani

Sadei is fantastic!

Sadei helped my daughter raise her grade from an A- to an A in AP Human Geography last semester and helped her to score one of the top scores on her mid-term final. Also, my daughter says she’s “cool” which may be even more important for a teenager. Thanks, Sadei, for being so prepared and knowledgeable.
