"In music, I have taught K-12, directed an adult community choir, taught private lessons in voice and piano to students ages 5-40, and sung solo in a jazz band, musicals, and classical concerts. Teaching, whether it be math or music, is something I love doing, especially in a one-on-one environment where students have the opportunity to ask questions and explore and discover without some of the pressure or neglect that can occur in a classroom of many students and only one teacher. One of my favorite phrases is "Oh! I get it now!" and I look for as many ways as possible to help students find that "light-bulb moment." But doing music and math has ...

" I am a firm believer in problem-based learning, and encourage students to ask questions and think for themselves. Although I will not provide answers or a quick and simple fix, I will provide students with guidance and encouragement as they work through problems and learn to apply familiar concepts to unfamiliar situations.

"
For four semesters at IIT I have served as a teaching assistant for a variety of courses: Geometry for Architects, Introduction to Calculus, and Introduction to Biomedical Engineering. Through this experience I have learned to assess each student's learning style uniquely, and I recognize that no two students are alike. I find that developing a customized lesson allows the student to both grasp the course material and, more importantly, to enjoy it.
Currently I am preparing to pursue a Ph.D."
