I work to give all of my students the tools and strategies they need to be successful. As an experienced music teacher, this means developing critical listening and practice skills. For test takers, this takes the shape of understanding test and question format, strategies for breaking down complex material, and educated guessing. My goal is to make the test work for the way you think, and I excel in creative ways to relay this information.

Fear of being wrong keeps a student from realizing how close they are to "getting it". Teaching is collaboration.
