Experienced tutor of 12 years, trauma-informed, LGBTQ+
My name is Hen, I'm a former middle and high school classroom teacher and experienced tutor of 12 years. I just moved to the Bay Area and am looking for new students!
I specialize in:
- Math at every level up to AP calculus
- Essay-writing (including college application essays!),
- SAT/ACT test prep.
I taught social studies and language arts and have tutored other high school level subjects as well. I am great with neurodiverse and LGBTQ young adults. Many of my students have trauma around feeling incapable of learning a certain task or being "bad at math"; I am patient and know how to work with students who have given up, to help them feel self-empowered even if they are years behind.
I provide tutoring on a truly sliding scale, pay what you can from my going rate of $120/hr to volunteering for free if your family cannot afford private tutoring but need it. If this sounds like a good fit for any kids you know please email me directly at henea.desavy [at] gmail.com (henea[dot]desavy[at]gmail[dot]com).
