About
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 learning gaps, blow exams out the water, or get support with task completion.
Master material so you can get where you need to go and stop hiding from schoolmates 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.
Read MoreIt’s not about gettin’ help with homework right quick or fast fooding your way through tests. Mastery is key.
I want you to “know it in your bones” or develop modes of thinking and prioritization that help you make sense of “it” (whatever “it” is). Shift from feeling shame and anxiety to feeling pride in proactively and effectively improving mastery of reading, writing, speaking, math computation, test performance, goal achievement, and more.

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 three (3) Downtown Oakland meeting locations 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.
