In my spare time I enjoy playing harp and guitar, learning new languages, and being outdoors.

...I believe that it is an educator's most important task to help children gain a love for learning. If learning is fun, hands-on, and informative, it will be more likely that students will take an active role in their education and strive to reach further.

My teaching philosophy is to lead the student through the problem, and, as much as possible, to let the...

With this attitude, studying became truly exciting for me, and making education more accessible and fueling curiosity have...
