A family’s socioeconomic status (or class) is one major predictor of a child’s academic success.¹ Since 1990, achievement gaps between class and racial groups have marginally decreased in some areas, but leveled out or even continued to grow in others.² Without mechanisms for equity and justice built in, private tutoring can easily increase and magnify these gaps.

I strive to create a tutoring environment that is supportive of and accessible to any child who wants help. To make sure my tutoring is available to families who most need it, I offer several types of discounts. I also keep sliding scale spots open on an ongoing basis, which you can reserve at the bottom of this page.
