I've been helping students learn subjects ranging from coding to game design to improvisational comedy for 7 years. As much as I love teaching I also love to make people laugh and when I am able to do both it really makes my job worth it.

I believe that all students should be given the opportunities they deserve to advance in their education ... All students have the potential to learn; they need only find the right method....

Guide them through questions without telling them the answer, gradually removing supports with each practice until they are able to complete the task on their own.

Learning can become a joyful activity. You just need the right professor and the right tutor for you, who loves learning. I trust in the potential in every one of us. I will be your mentor for tapping into your own and turn your learning experience into a successful and joyful one. Reach out!
