About Me

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, a Bachelor of Arts in Latin, and a Master of Music in Historical Musicology at the University of Texas at Austin. I am certified to teach high school science, all areas, in Texas. Since graduating, I have worked internationally, in Hong Kong and El Salvador as a curriculum developer and classroom teacher. I have taught and tutored in both the humanities, social studies, sciences, and fine arts. In particular, my subjects include but are not limited to: chemistry, physics, astronomy, AP Environmental Science, environmental studies, Latin, Ancient Greek, algebra, music history, writing. Outside of academic and education, I am a fan of performing music, traveling, and cooking. Teaching and tutoring are forms of helping others to get to where they need or want to be. Some things are difficult to learn on one's own, or they are difficult with one version of learning those things. I hope to help others by providing a different or clear way of thinking about what gives them trouble.

Q&A with Andy

The teacher, the tutor, or the instructor is truly a facilitator in the learning process. My job as an educator is to empower students with the confidence to take up the challenge of learning by themselves. This, of course, does not mean that a tutor simply solves a problem and asks the student to repeat it independently. It means that I provide pathways for those skills to solve a problem so that, when I'm not there, the student has a better ability to learn and to work through difficulties. It is not an easy feat and requires patience and persistence for both parties. "Rome wasn't built in a day." "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."
