About Us

Gotta rep the alma mater :)

Who we are

We’re two UC Berkeley grads passionate about giving students the tools they need to succeed. With experience in the fashion, non-profit, and tech industries, as well as a decade combined in education, we bring a diverse set of knowledge and skills to our work. Over the years, we’ve helped students ace exams, get into their dream schools, and take that first, terrifying step into the professional world. We hope you’ll give us the privilege of helping your student do the same.

Ours is a boutique operation—we pride ourselves on serving the unique needs of each student, and we especially value long-term relationships. One of the most rewarding parts of our work is getting to learn and grow with our students, from high school to college graduation and beyond. We hope that working with us will help inspire students to become successful professionals, curious thinkers, and lifelong scholars.

Our philosophy

At Hedera, we believe that the best predictor of academic success is student confidence. Whether their goals are college admissions, high SAT scores, or to nail the MCAT, our goal is to ensure our students feel confident that they will be able to give it their absolute best. Through thorough ample preparation, one-on-one attention, and getting to know our students on a personal level, we aim to foster their strengths and help them tackle their weaknesses so that they can look back on these endeavors with personal pride and a sense of accomplishment, no matter what the outcome.
