...COVID pandemic began. What can I say? I'm a lucky guy! To cope with the postponement of my theatre graduate program (and with an eye on my future financial situation), I decided to take a swing at the LSAT.

When I'm not tutoring, I work as a writer, composer, and actor. For example, I was recently the music assistant on the Broadway show 'The Visit'! I love the subjects that I teach. Communication, wisdom,...

Within everyone lies the ability to learn, but first we...
