Over the course of many years, my teacher identity has changed and grown through a plethora of environments.

My interests include reading in “my” subjects and (mainly) English-language novels of the 18th century and forward, television and pop-culture, yoga, meditation, and...

I love tutoring because I can focus on a single student and really cater to their learning...
