For in-person tutoring, you must live within 10 miles of Santa Teresa Blvd. and Cottle Rd. in South San Jose or be willing to drive to a meeting place within that distance.

I offer online tutoring as well, but I don't recommend it for 3rd grade and under.

Ocean Grove families - once you have a spot with me, I will give you all the details you need to request your purchase order.

​

All families - once you have a spot, you will receive a short handbook from me with all the holiday dates, absence policies, etc.  I will take time to discuss your particular child(ren) with you by phone or web meeting so we can come up with an instruction plan that meets their needs.  I believe in partnering with the family and I'm always open to comments, suggestions, and changes from you.
