Every great teacher I have had has...

...From theatre exercises and games to very detailed and analytical technical work, I have a broad skill set I use to work with students at any age or level. Using my light sense of humor and inclusive attitude, my students often become less intimidated by their studies and learn to find their own voice.

...and Latin). I genuinely love learning - learning for myself and helping others learn - and I am particularly passionate about subjects pertaining to reading, writing and Chinese. My teaching philosophy centers on building a solid foundation of comprehension because knowledge, just like good habits, is cumulative.

When I'm not out exploring Los Angeles, I can be found at home playing guitar or reading a classic...
