About
I generally provide homework help in mostly Math, English, and History. Previously, I have helped with standardized test prep, public speaking, and some areas of study in the arts. I have 2 bachelor's degrees in philosophy and political science and a masters degree in business. I just took a little while off from tutoring but have years of experience in a variety of subjects and am happy to provide references upon request.
I've always enjoyed helping others discover their potential. My sister struggled from a young age to grasp topics that I found less challenging to master which frustrated both of us. I know that anyone can learn anything, but most classrooms simply don't provide sufficient resources such as time and patience to properly help children thrive. I aim to help those individuals out.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Getting to know the student is essential. Everyone has different methods of learning, and pushing a student in the wrong way can do more harm than good. Generally, I will start by gaining an understanding of where the student is now and where they would like to end up. Sticking to a schedule can be quite helpful, but I'm quite adaptable to specific circumstances and open to trying any method that the student prefers.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a Political Science and Philosophy double major at Chapman University. I've always tested in the 98-99 percentile range for both Math and English.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$20-$25 per hour depending on travel (if any)
How did you get started teaching?
I first volunteered to tutor middle school students when I was a high school sophomore at the Harker School in San Jose.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with mostly elementary and middle school students. However, I have some experience with some high school students as well.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Patience in a tutor is key - regardless of the subject matter. Similarly, you need to find someone you can be comfortable with. Many kids will hold back and won't be completely honest about the topics they are confused or worried about if they don't feel like they can trust their tutor
