Welcome to Brighter Minds SF, where students can explore and engage in math and science. I offer a range of services, including one-on-one tutoring, small group instruction and standardized test preparation for the SAT, ACT and SSAT.The goal at Brighter Minds SF is to create a positive learning environment in which students are encouraged to be curious, ask questions and think analytically. Patience and humor, combined with the trust that grows between myself and the student, work to reduce the fear and anxiety that so often accompanies math, science and standardized tests. I form strong bonds with my students and individualize my teaching strategies to suit each one. By focusing on comprehension of basic concepts rather than on rote memorization, students continuously build on their knowledge and feel more confident and motivated with their learning process. I also have experience working with students with learning difficulties, including those with dyslexia as well as executive function and attention deficit disorders.I love explaining the world around us through atoms and molecules and I hope to convey that love of learning to my students. Contact me with information about your needs and we can start this journey together! History Established in 2015. I’ve been tutoring for 9 years and established Brighter Minds SF in 2015.
I earned a Bachelor's degree in chemistry from UC Berkeley and graduated with honors from Tel Aviv University with a Master's degree in chemistry. I have conducted research in a metallo-organic chemistry lab, studied drug-drug interactions in a biochemistry lab at Genentech, and evaluated academic manuscripts as a science copy editor at Nature Publishing Group.In middle school, the sight of a math problem would bring me to tears, but one inspirational teacher helped me to overcome my fears and encouraged me to pursue a career in science. I now have 7 years' experience in tutoring chemistry, biology and math to middle school, high school and college students in San Francisco. Some of the schools my students have attended include City College of San Francisco and Berkeley City College, as well as Urban, Drew, Lowell, Sacred Heart and University High Schools.
