Shame-Free Private Tutoring, Test Prep, and English Lessons for Adults & Teens
About
Tutoring That
Lifts You to Your
Next Normal
Since 2011, English, Math & More has been a one-woman operation delivering private, shame-free learning space for adults and teens needing help exceeding or meeting academic standards necessary for accomplishing academic, professional, or personal success. You can work beyond what’s taught at school, fill in learning gaps, blow exams out the water, or get support with task completion.
If you’re tired of (or want to prevent) hiding from school mates or work colleagues who seem to “get it”; spending time, money, and other resources retesting; and being afraid you won’t be prepared to compete once you complete your current program’s or school’s prescribed regimen–regardless of the institution’s reputation–this may be the place for you.

What Students Say
Mother of Sarah – English Tutoring – Wuhan, China
Thank u so much for your patience! Kenisha is a very nice teacher. [She] could help the student to get the key points in each class…and also help the student understand and remember all difficulties. She’s a good teacher knows how to deliver the points via “tiny techniques”…props, error correction, tpr-body language, [and] scaffolding.
YaVette Yates, Mother of W. Yates- SAT Reading & Writing Prep – Oakland, CA
Ms. Kenisha was amazing with my son. She made my son, who is high-level funtioning on the autism spectrum, comfortable in an unfamiliar environment and tailored a learning curriculum that fit his physical and comprehensive needs. His SAT scores increased significantly from his first attempt because of this one-on-one tutoring. Ms. Kenisha arrived promptly to our sessions, was flexible when we had to change a day at the last minute, and the cost was worth the outcome (so much so that we added extra sessions). Ms. Kenisha has a calm and patient disposition, is knowledgeable, and she knows how to engage the student. I would highly recommend Ms. Kenisha and her services.
Nataly Lopez-Vega – CBEST Math Tutoring – North Hills, CA
Looking back now, I could have saved so much money if I would have worked with her in the beginning.
Overall, she was an amazing teacher and not a tutor…Do keep in mind that she will hold you accountable. She’s not about wasting time. She is a teacher that has impacted my life and my teaching career.

I’m sorry, but I can only determine that after meeting for a diagnostic session.
When you visit a competent doctor, he or she runs tests, asks questions, and observes you before trying to help you make improvements. Well, the same is true for the work I do. I can’t help you until after I’ve figured out what’s going on with you.
What I can tell you is that, on average, customers use 20 hours.
Currently, you have a choice of two (2) places to meet in Downtown Oakland, one (1) place to meet in East Oakland, and one (1) place to meet in Alameda.
Home visits occur on a ridiculously strict case-by-case basis. They cost a bit more, too, to accommodate for travel time, gas, and vehicle wear.
No. It is a coincidence that I only have photos and recordings of past customers who are speakers of Spanish and Chinese. I’ve worked with speakers of French, Brazilian Portuguese, Wolof, Pulaar, and Kiswahili.
