Raising bookworms, one story at a time.
Literature changes the way we think about the world, introducing us to new people, places, and ideas. Reading is important—now more than ever.
The reading track will immerse your student in stories. Readers get to know new characters, ponder challenging questions (big and small), and jumpstart the lifelong process of relating critical themes to their own experience.
The curriculum includes:
Your student has a voice. Let’s hear it.
Whether in kindergarten or high school, kids need a forum through which to process their thoughts and feelings, freely and supportively. Creative writing provides that space.
The creative writing track empowers learners through self-expression. Lessons are guided, without being limiting—students explore poetry, narrative, nonfiction, or any other styles that inspire them. The idea is to erase the box, not create one.
The curriculum includes:
Before booking classes, I provide a free consultation so we can discuss the unique benefits of each lesson track and pricing plan.
During our consultation, we'll select the right package for your student—and your budget.

Classes take place over Zoom, so students need access to a computer with high-speed Internet. Depending on the topic of a lesson, we’ll use different online tools—like Google Docs or a virtual whiteboard—so we can effectively mimic an interactive classroom experience.
My regular hours are Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm PST.
Before signing up for classes, please schedule a consultation call. After we've talked, we'll pick a weekly time slot.
Most students have class at the same time each week, but certain exceptions can be made, if necessary. You can also sign up for classes on an as-needed basis.
Please let me know ASAP (by phone or email) about any cancellation or rescheduling needs. In order to receive a full refund, classes should be cancelled at least 24 hours prior to their scheduled time. Lessons cancelled with less than 24 hours of notice must be paid in full.
Sign up online for a consultation call. We’ll talk about your student and the unique learning goals that we'll address in our tutoring sessions. Once we’ve come up with a plan, we'll schedule a weekly time slot and get started—easy as that.
The answer to this question can vary quite a bit, depending on each student’s unique learning needs and goals. For reading programs, I typically suggest we meet weekly for two-hour sessions. Writing programs are usually held twice weekly for one-hour or 90-minute sessions. We’ll come up with a customized plan during our consultation call.
I specialize in English tutoring (reading, writing, listening, speaking), and I also have experience teaching and tutoring a variety of other K-12 subjects. I’m fluent in Spanish and have spent years tutoring history, math, films, and more. If you have questions about whether I can tutor your child in a specific subject, schedule a call for a free consultation!
PayPal is my preferred payment method, but I accept Venmo, as well. Full payment is due at the time of booking. If you have any questions about alternative payment options, please reach out.
