What We Offer

Dear families,

I am the founder of the Berkeley Tutors Network, and I tutor students to help them achieve a high score on the ACT or SAT. I have many years of experience with both of these tests, having taught preparation classes for the ACT and SAT at UC Berkeley and at local high schools: Berkeley High, Albany High, and Head-Royce.

I also work with a group of UC Berkeley students who are tutors. As a community service, we have taught SAT, ACT, and PSAT preparation classes and workshops at UC Berkeley and at local high schools.

The ACT and SAT test preparation I offer to individual high school students covers the same ground as a Kaplan or Princeton Review class. But since this is one-to-one tutoring, the guidance I give is tailored to the particular needs of each student. In each subject area of the test – math, reading, writing and (in the case of the ACT) science - I help the student build skills and confidence.

My approach is personal, friendly and effective. And the aim isn’t only to help students ace the test. It’s also to inspire a love of learning.

I also tutor high school students to do better in their regular English and math classes, and to write the personal essays for their college applications.

Call us at (510) 486-1050 to discuss your PSAT, SAT, or ACT preparation plans. We look forward to hearing from you.
