About Me

I first started tutoring at Portland High School when a student one grade below me needed help in both bass clarinet and Spanish; proficient in both areas, I decided to give it a shot. Soon thereafter, I discovered the fulfillment that comes with helping others obtain personal and academic success. Upon starting college at the University of Southern California, I decided to combine my love for tutoring with my love for language to work for the National Language Institute as a One-on-One conversation partner for international students looking to improve their English skills. As an artist, tutoring is an opportunity to explore characters and environments otherwise foreign to me; the relationships that I develop with other students enhance my understanding of the world we live in and the human beings that inhabit it. Through this outlook, I am constantly learning in tandem with my students. The most important thing that I like to keep in mind as a tutor is the student's comfortability with learning and with the subject matter. A student has to want to learn in order to achieve success, and my job is to help the student invest interest in the material and to find a passion for learning. I work as an actor, director, and writer in New York. The opportunity to educate, inspire, and entertain others through the theatre fills me with gratification. In addition to working with the theatrical artistic medium, I enjoy dabbling in painting, pottery, and poetry in my spare time. On weekends, I like to take a break from artistic endeavors to enjoy nature, family, and friends. The artistic lifestyle has engrained a tenacity within my spine. Rest assured, I will never give up on a student. Hopefully I can help you achieve the success you are looking for.
