Firelight Education

I’m an independent academic coach, teacher, tutor, and consultant with loads of experience teaching high school and middle school students with many different learning profiles, ADHD, anxiety, and even a deep dislike for the learning process. I also understand - as a parent of a son with an atypical learning profile - the frustrations and challenges of students who struggle to fit the prescribed pathways of traditional schooling. Neurospicy? I got you! I can help with reading and writing, homework, organization and executive functioning, college essays, and more. I can also assist students and families in navigating the application process for independent schools. I have limited in-person availability in the East San Francisco Bay Area (Berkeley, Oakland, Piedmont, Lamorinda, and surrounding areas) and I’m also available on Zoom to students anywhere in the U.S.
