Hello! You can call me Ms. Blair. I have a degree in Economics
and Mathematics from Cal State University, Northridge and I’ve
been tutoring math for over 20 years 😮. When I was in high
school, I never liked math, but I really enjoy helping student
learn that they can learn anything, including all sorts of
math. Math is a language and the more languages you know, the
more you can understand the world. Like they say in the movie
Mean Girls, it’s the universal language. In my free time, I
like to be active when I’m outdoors and watch cartoons and
YouTube when I’m in doors. Send me a request for tutoring! I’d
love to help you love math too!

Hello Students! My name is Ms. Cristina. I am a tutor and
substitute teacher at Mission Academy. I graduated from
Stanislaus State and received my Bachelors of Arts degree in
Child Development with a minor in Psychology. My favorite
subject to tutor is English, along with Electives. I enjoy
working with students, learning more about their interest, and
their educational/life goals. I am passionate about education
and helping students succeed. A little bit about me is that I
love to read, visit national parks, and spend time with my
friends and family. I also love to travel and hope to one day
visit as many new places as I can.

Hello there! My name is Ms. Jasmine and I am a Tutor here at
Elev8 Online Schools! I graduated from California State University
Northridge and received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology.
I am an avid baseball fan and my favorite team is the Dodgers.
I never miss a game and try to attend games every season.
I love animals and have a cat named Lilo, like from the movie Lilo
& Stitch, although she should’ve been called Stitch based on her
personality. One of my biggest passions is working with students
and being able to create a comfortable and positive learning environment
for you. I want you to succeed so don’t be scared to reach out for help.
It’s what I’m here for! I am very excited to meet you and help you achieve
your goals.

Katie is a California girl at heart, although she spent most
of her life in the small town of Ashland, Oregon. She
graduated from Southern Oregon University with a degree in
Elementary Education and Shakespearean Studies, then promptly
moved to Los Angeles. Katie loves math, thanks to her parents
relentless efforts to make her work harder (even though she
had to take Algebra TWICE!). She also loves playing with her
cat, watching Doctor Who, and going to Disneyland as often as
she can.

Hello! I’m Mr. Miguel and I am an Online Tutor. I went to Cal
State Northridge where I got my degree in Child and Adolescent
Development. I think it’s easy to trick yourself into
believing that you can’t do something, so what I love about
tutoring is that it helps students gain confidence. I have a
motto: Every problem has a solution; you just have to find it.
I enjoy traveling to new places! The world is too big to not
explore. I also love watching movies. Suspense and horror are
my favorite. And overall, I just love making new memories with
friends and family.
