...the varsity rowing team. After college, I taught elementary school English in South Korea for two years before becoming a rowing coach. I love to travel, read, and learn, and I love to share knowledge and learning experiences with others.

I hope that I can pass on my...

Outside of teaching, I work as a Shakespearean actor, freelance writer, and folk musician. In my spare...

I have worked with students of all ages and levels, including special needs students...

...broad range of subjects, but my preferences lie with the liberal arts (English, writing, reading, history, etc.). That said, I also enjoy the sensation of testing myself that I experience when doing math problems: I find satisfaction in solving a problem. That applies to standardized tests, as well, which have the added bonus of being a race against time. In short: I enjoy a good challenge, and the biggest challenge out there (in my opinion)...

I firmly believe that instilling confidence in students about their ability to read and write well is key to high academic performance: oftentimes, students perform better than they believe they do, so they just need a person to encourage them to believe in themselves, which frequently occurs when they achieve academic success in the individualized setting that is tutoring. In my spare time, I...
