Hello, my name is Joe French, founder of Excelsior Educational Consulting. I’m a veteran teacher with over 20 years of classroom experience and advanced training in structured literacy (Orton-Gillingham methods), executive function coaching, and academic support for students with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning differences.
I tutor K–12 students and college learners in reading, writing, math (through Algebra II), French, history, and executive-function skills.
- My approach is explicit, multisensory, and tailored to each student’s needs, helping them build fluency, confidence, and independence.
- Location & travel: I can drive to students within the East Bay, San Francisco, Marin, and I also offer virtual sessions.
- Meeting preference: Flexible—sessions can take place in homes, libraries, or online. Rates: $100 per hour, or a 4-session package for $385.
