Tailored Coaching to Empower You

Students get much more than college admissions advice when I am their coach.

In addition to earning a college admissions certificate, I have 13+ years of making a positive impact on students’ lives as an instructor, mentor, and coach. My teaching philosophy is to meet students where they are and find ways to make concepts easy-to-understand, relatable, and fun.

My goal is not only to help students get into college, but also to empower students with skills, knowledge, and a healthy mindset.

Scheduling each 1-on-1 session is flexible, allowing each student and their families to schedule sessions at the student’s pace.

The duration of each session varies, depending on the student’s schedule, focus, and need to complete specific tasks. Generally, each session lasts an hour but can go longer if needed. I am committed to each student’s success.

Sessions may be in-person in San Jose, California and the surrounding areas or virtual via Zoom.
