Bio
As a graduate student at Stanford University, I was a Teaching Assistant
and tutored high school students as well. I experienced a great satisfaction
as a teacher because it was inspiring to help others learn. After my doctoral
studies, I pursued and attained an MBA and, for many years, was very
successful in business. However, that sense of deep inspiration was missing.
One day, a friend asked me if I would help his daughter with her French class,
knowing that I spoke French fluently because I had lived in France while
studying at the Sorbonne. That sense of satisfaction returned and marked the
beginning of my new career as a private tutor.
I have a proven record of success with my students in all core middle and high
school subjects. My tutoring expertise gives students the personal guidance and
instruction they need to succeed and reach their highest potential. Parents are
equally happy because they watch their children obtain not only improved grades
but a greater sense of self-confidence and achievement.
