About Exene
I work with each student's individual needs, assessing which teaching methods are most likely to help them succeed as independent learners. I encourage my students to be curious and find their voice so that they can engage with their coursework with a critical eye and effect clear and thoughtful written work!
Please note: Students are responsible for showing up to sessions prepared and on time. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will be billed. 15-minute tardiness without communication will count as a no-show. Finally, my goal is to help my students cultivate their perspectives and voice. I do not write papers for students beyond basic editing for style, structure, and comprehension. I may make suggestions but I am not interested in writing papers for a degree that won't have my name on it. Sorry.
There is nothing like helping a student find their love of learning. I believe that everyone not only has a right to an education but access to the tools they need to leverage that education into a fulfilling future.
I come from a family of educators, working with kids at all grade levels and abilities. I started my own journey with education when I was in college. Most of my clients were in the San Francisco Bay Area and the greater Los Angeles city limits.
I have a bachelors degree in English Literature as well as a TESOL. I have been working with kids hands on and vía Skype for over 10 years!

I like to start off with a 30 minute consultation with the student and or parents to assess what we will need to work on based on each student's individual situation. Some students need help with note taking while others simply need help developing the confidence to share their opinion on class and on the page. I like to spend the first 6 weeks working on the students bespoke needs and then slow transition into helping students become independent learners, utilizing the methods and skills we developed together for the classroom. I believe in positive reinforcement, mural respect and the student's right to an education. This means: I will NOT do the student's work for them, however I will always encourage them to submit their best work and challenge them to want continued growth and success.
I have worked with kids from the ages of 6-17 years of age. I have worked with GATE students, foreign exchange students, ESL students and even children and adults on the spectrum. Patience and and a positive attitude are key regardless of who your student is!
You should trust your teacher. We're supposed to be here to help YOU. Yes, there are standards yo be met, but our job is to motivate you to meet those standards in whatever way is most helpful to your personal growth. Look for someone who fosters your curiosity and asks you good questions.
While working with a French student on an essay, he pushed back on our rhetorical thesis, admitting that he had changed his stance since engaging with the material. We ended up working for an additional 4 hours together to rewrite his whole essay but in the end, it was his own original perspective! I have never been so proud of a student for taking a leap of faith in their own opinions.

Exene was really good about working at a pace that I was most comfortable with. Exene also never hesitated to tackle new subjects, which made me excited to tackle them too!
What can I even say! I needed a tutor to help with my exams. Exene was such a blessing! I suffer from performance anxiety and Exene was so understanding and helpful. She gave me confidence in the material I was learning, was patient and explained things in the perfect way for me understand and rectify my mistakes and also gave me a wealth of tips in managing my anxiety and quieting my mind before and during test time. Did I mention I not only Aced my exam but her help brought my over- all grade from a C- to a B+! Please do yourself and your future a favor by working with this talented person!
She is really patient and knowledgeable. She made the work feel less intimidating and I felt I was able to grasp the concepts quickly. Definitely would recommend her to others!
Exene is very patient and thorough, ensuring that the course material is fully understood before moving on. Exene is clear and concise but still manages to be fun. Highly recommended!
Exene helped me understand the writing mistakes I was making and taught me how to avoid them in the future. We reviewed some of my other writing assignments and identified ways it could be more concise and communicative, and my next report got higher marks than I ever have before! Thank you, Exene!
My daughter was having problems with reading and would get frustrated when I would help her but Exene was so patient and compassionate with her that she was enthusiastic about learning. Highly recommend. Great with kids!
Exene was so patient with me and made me feel like I was really making progress. They’re great at breaking things down into bite size chunks and making things really easy to understand.
Always prompt and prepared. Made learning new ideas in an instresting and engaging way.
She was very knowledgeable and patient . Her approach to teaching made my coursework accessible. I left every session feeling smarter and more able to tackle my work.
Truly the best Spanish teacher I’ve had!! She is patient, caring and non judgmental. Exene taught me not only the technical aspects of the language but also the realistic spanish speaking skills to use in everyday conversation. I can’t thank her enough. :)
She is calm, patient and very clear in her instructions.
They met me at my pace. I had studied Spanish in college and needed to brush up to be able to speak more fluently in work and I felt really supported getting back into the language thanks to Exene.
