About Eli

Relentlessly curious, Eli has trained and worked in social science, the performing arts, shiatsu therapy, legal investigation, communications, corporate recruiting, community organizing, and small business operations.

In addition to coaching, he's tutored humanities and writing to grades 7-12, and worked in San Francisco independent schools as an executive function coach, learning strategist, and instructional support staff.

He enjoys reading, songwriting, guitar, piano, photography, meditation, and walking in the City.

"By senior year, we had become exhausted from constantly badgering and bullying our son to complete his assignments. He didn’t respond to tutors, either. School had a become a persistent reminder to our son of how he was failing. He was giving up and we could not help him.

Eli was able to reach him, make him understand that tackling the work would make him feel better about himself, and help him get back in the game. Our son, who has graduated now, still considers Eli his favorite 'teacher' ever. I highly recommend him." - Todd M.
