About
I started tutoring and pursuing my own artistic career when I was still in High School, and I have over 20 years of tutoring experience.
I graduated second in my class and went on to complete my 4-year degree at U.C. Berkeley right after that, in Studio Art. I've studied and worked with many art forms including drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, 3D art, digital art, installation art, and others. I've even created my own natural paints which were featured in the artwork for a showing in Oakland City Hall, CA, as well.
I've tutored and taught many children, teens, and adults. Through the credentialing program that I completed at SFSU in K-12 Art, I learned a variety of skills to support and guide you/your child in creative expression balanced with each student's particular interests and natural talents.
In the last few years, I taught art to high schoolers with Alliance Charter Schools as well as in LA Unified School District. Since then, I've been pursuing my own entrepreneurial passions and more recently, I've tutored students online in botanical art with Novato, CA Based Electivity Kids.
I've tutored many subjects, with art, including botanical art, as well as creative writing, being my expertise. I've also taught English as a second language and Art overseas in Taipei, Taiwan.
I also do some website design, graphic design, video and sound editing, and related digital projects, media, and marketing. I've pursued other interests too, including studying Psychology, gaining certification in Clinical Herbalism, and working with clients and customers on their holistic health and nutrition, just to name a few of my interests outside of teaching and tutoring.
I've helped many students of all ages dramatically improve their skills, confidence, grades, and more. It's also important to me to help support you/your child in finding ways to fit lessons to your particular talents, passions, interests, goals, and learning style so that you can experience continued growth and success in your endeavors!
