Nelly Tinloy

Hello Berean Community!  I am Nelly Tinloy and this will be my first teaching year as your Anatomy and Physiology, Sports Medicine and Advanced Sports Medicine teacher for the 2025-2026 school year.  I am looking forward to prayers being answered and a complete reliance on the grace of Christ to teach and walk with your students this year.  Please pray with me and for me as I settle into this new role. A little about myself, I am wife to Scott Tinloy and mother of 2 teenagers.  You will be meeting my husband if you’re taking Sports Med because he will be a guest speaker alongside his band of Oakland Firefighters. My daughter will be joining us at Berean as a sophomore and my son will be starting at San Diego State University this Fall (Go Aztecs!)  We all attend Wellspring Church in San Ramon and look forward to worshipping with you on chapel days.

But He said to me “My grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness.”  Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Cor 12:9
