" 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 taught me that learning is not always a fun, thrilling adventure - sometimes it's just hard work. And I want to help build good study and practice techniques and habits as well. Learning a skill of ...

" I've taught students ranging from 13 years old to 67 years old, and I've encountered those students across middle school, high school, community college, and 4-year college environments. I enjoy the challenge of phrasing mathematical concepts in "non-math" language, and am comfortable explaining concepts in a variety of ways. As someone who has always felt comfortable taking standardized tests, I am also proud of the way I explain test-taking strategies. With my experience working in higher education, I am also uniquely able to place standardized tests within the context of overall college admissions.." ...
