It Takes A Village: Tutoring And Mentoring

Jason has over ten years of experience working with youth in areas of test prep (SSAT, HSPT, SAT), math, science, and writing. He greatly appreciates building a personal connection with students and finds that the deepest learning happens in the context of nourishing relationships. Jason works to understand the unique learning styles and strengths of each student and adapts his teaching styles accordingly. He has experience in working with students who have learning differences, including dyslexia and ADHD. Before moving to the Bay Area, Jason graduated from Tel Aviv University with an M.A. in Social Work, and he brings his excellent communication skills to his tutoring practice.

After college, Jason spent time in Uganda, East Africa, building biogas digesters and teaching communities how to live more sustainable and health conscious lives. While there he learned to put his passion for helping people, building communities, and working with youth at the center of his life. For the last four years, Jason has mentored youth of all ages in a range of outdoor settings. His experience includes running garden programs for 3 to 5-year-olds and camping and wilderness immersion programs for pre-teens; he has also supported teenagers in the co-creation of rites of passage experiences.

Jason dedicates himself to helping students of all ability levels reach their full potential.
