I grew up in Berkeley, went to undergrad at Humboldt State University and recently received my master's degree at the University of Dundee in Scotland. I like to teach in a way that makes the most sense to you by using mnemonics and other sometimes odd ways to remember material, I thrive to make anatomy fun and easy to understand. If you don't understand the way the teacher is presenting the material, or the way I am trying to convey it, I will change my tactic until you understand it. I ... Read more

For two years as a Stanford Hollyhock Fellow I studied how to help students write better. Through feedback that is both technical (the X's and O's of writing) and power-affirming (asking writers to think deeply about their effect on the reader), I have helped dozens of students get into colleges. In particular, I excel at coaching for the Personal Insight Question (PIQ), a college essay form unique to the UC system, and have led workshops on how to understand and use this type of essay. My...

I have been tutoring and teaching for 20 years, often with 6-8th graders. A large part of their learning is organization of notebooks, a regular study time, and forming good study skills. With so much experience teaching MS students, I think I have a good idea how to help improve the study skills of a early teenager. Read more
