I approach each student as an individual, and I have decades of experience in identifying hidden needs in meeting state standards, so these formative experiences have made my instruction and dedication stronger. I make sure the learning environment (in class or tutoring) is a safe place to achieve their goals with comfort and understanding. That's where real success-building-success, minute-to-minute learning happens. Students flourish with the tenets of my rapport: my attitude, sense of humor, and careful listening -- these are my "superpowers." I strive to let students genuinely learn with compassion and intellectual joy. I praise the student sincerely for overcoming setbacks as well as well as for real authentic achievement.

“When I studied for the SAT with Brendan, I was scoring around 1350. After studying with her for half a year, I took the January SAT and scored 2020, a relieving and coinfidence-boosting increase.”
Dathon Ford, Palo Alto
