Who is Mr. De Ocampo?

About Me

I, Mr. De Ocampo, am currently teaching four classes of 6th grade math and one class of Acceleration elective.

I have a lot of educational experience. I have been a 6th grade mathematics teacher at Visitacion Valley Middle School since August 2008. My previous educational experiences include volunteering in emergent bilingual and mathematics classrooms at Francisco Middle School and in a 5th grade classroom at Bessie Carmichael Elementary School. I have served in various educational, case-managing, and mentorship positions at an after school and summer program primarily serving Filipino and other low-income K-HS students in the South of Market Area of San Francisco since 2004.

I am a proud product of San Francisco schools. I was a student of several schools in the San Francisco Unified School District, including Lowell High School, Potrero Hill Middle School, Bessie Carmichael Elementary School, Starr King Elementary School, and Filipino Education Center. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics at San Francisco State University in 2005.

When can students get extra help with math?

Starting on October 4, 2023, Mr. De Ocampo will try to offer help before school and/or after school, if he is healthy enough.   Please wait until October 4 to find out when he will be available.
