Angela T. says, "My daughter started tutoring first here and then the online microschool. She use to not enjoy learning much and struggled some in reading, writing, and math. I can now see a genuine love for learning and she looks forward to all her lessons! I’m one proud mama ! Also I love that it’s virtual so we can be anywhere and she can learn! One of the best decisions I’ve made toward her education!"See more

Ping L. says, "Stacey tutored my two dyslexic sons from elementary through middle school. Utilizing her deep knowledge of the Orton Gillingham approach, she de-mystified the English language for them. She systematically taught and reinforced the phonetic underpinnings of language until they were mastered. Under her expert and caring tutelage, both my sons made tremendous strides in reading and writing. My older son graduated from college and the younger one is a freshman."See more

Hien P. says, "We’ve been meeting online with Lynn for the last 2 years. She tutors my son for writing and reading skills. I was hesitant about doing it online at first, but he has shown amazing progress! Lynn is WONDERFUL!! She treats him and talks to him like older than his age - I felt like that really helps him grow faster as a student. She gives constructive and positive feedback. She encourages him to go above and beyond what she knows he’s capable of. She has gotten him ready for writing at his grade level now. Lynn is also flexible, understanding, and communicative as a tutor. We appreciate her so much and will continue using her as his tutor. Thank you so much!!"See more

Customers get two things most tutors can't offer together: a tutor who has actually scored at the top of these exams, and support that doesn't stop when the session ends. I'm a UC Berkeley student who scored 1570 on the SAT and 35 on the ACT, so I teach these tests from real mastery, not a script. Every student gets a plan built around their specific weak spots and test date. And because I pair one on one tutoring with an AI teaching assistant, students get help 24/7 between sessions, so they keep improving all week instead of only during their hour with me. Fully online, so we can work together no matter where you are.See more

Hello! I am a dedicated STEM tutor with over 15 years of experience helping students from kindergarten through college excel in math, physics, and beyond. With a background in astrophysics and hands-on experience at NASA, Tesla, and Dusty Robotics, I bring a real-world engineering and scientific insight into every session. I specialize in breaking down complex concepts into simple, understandable steps, while building confidence and critical thinking skills in students with diverse needs. Whether it's test prep (SAT, ACT, AP, IB) or foundational learning, I tailor each lesson to fit the students' needs and learning styles. I am also fluent in both English and Spanish. I’m currently based in the San Jose area and am available for in-person sessions locally or remote sessions.See more
