My Services

School Year/Summer Support

$50/hour (recommend 1-2x/week)

Did someone say fully customized learning plans for less than $100/hour? Heck yeah! School or summer, get the benefit of expert support and help your student achieve their creative, STEM and learning goals.

Academic Consulting

$50-$100/hour (weekly needs will vary; let’s talk!)

Tears on the handout. Blowups over dinner. Falling test scores. We’ve all seen it. You’ve got this brilliant child, and yet they’re failing to flourish in school. What’s going on? In some cases, this is steered by difficulties with executive functioning - the mental habits and skills that let us succeed and meet goals. But, good news - these skills and habits are teachable! And developing them is actually ridiculously fun and rewarding. It’s a win-win-win.

$50-$75/hour (recommend ~2x/week)

Let’s face it, standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, SBAC and more can be scary! I take a gentle, student-based approach to build motivation and take fear out of the equation. Of course, we’ll also cover tons of specific skills, tips and tricks to have your student scoring higher in no time!

About me!

Professional Tutoring Experience:

  • Sylvan Learning, Los Angeles

  • Lindamood-Bell, SLO

Classroom Teaching:

  • San Luis Obispo Classical Academy, SLO

It has been my privilege and pleasure to teach in a variety of contexts, of which the above points are a sample.

BUT, my very favorite kind of teaching is still private one-on-one and small-group tutoring. I genuinely love meeting new students and finding ways to make their lives easier. I’m a born problem solver, so whether you’re looking for a tutoring solution or want to level up your child’s academic game, please give me a call!
