Experience
I am a professional tutor with 7 years of experience working for tutoring centers as well as in-home tutoring and home schooling. I specialize in SAT/ACT prep, English, writing, reading, biology, chemistry, algebra, geometry, essay writing and editing. Formerly, I was a professional science writer and editor at Stanford University and Berkeley Lab. My job involved explaining science, writing and editing content so it's simple, clear and engaging. I am also a certified ESL/TESOL teacher for ages 6-adult. I love working with students to improve their overall English skills, develop their voice, and craft clean essays. I also enjoy teaching science and math to students in a way that they can understand, and working with them to raise their grades, improve moral, and build good study habits.
