Founder and Principal Coach Kazz Regelman:
I am graduate of Princeton University, a Fulbright Scholarship winner, National Merit Scholarship winner (based on PSAT scores), Rhodes Scholarship semi-finalist, and widely published journalist.
My work has appeared in publications such as Variety Magazine (for which I was the Tokyo correspondent), the Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, the Boston Globe, Wine Enthusiast, Maui Magazine, the Bay Guardian, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the Hollywood Reporter, Vietnam Airlines inflight magazine, Boy's Life and many more local and global publications. In addition, I worked at Edusoft, where I both wrote and edited test prep questions (across all genres).
I have served as the founding Director of High School Placement at two Bay Area schools -- the Millennium School and Presidio Knolls School -- and am a member of the Bay Area Secondary School Counselors. I conducted admissions interviews for 20 years for Princeton University admissions.
Slightly off topic: I'm a former PADI scuba-diving instructor in the Philippines; a French cheese expert (blog at www.ayearinfromage.com) who has been featured on national French radio and in French media; and a hula dancer for 17 years who has performed at the Musee Quai Branley in Paris and been featured on in-flight entertainment on Hawaiian Airlines. I speak five languages including bilingual French (also fluent Japanese, Mandarin, Spanish, and native English) and have performed both in amateur and professional theatrical productions. Oddly, I have sung back up on rock albums in both the then-USSR and also Japan, although I've never claimed to be a great singer.
