The foundation of my teaching philosophy is the high expectation for learning that I have for my students and respect for the tools and attitude they bring to their own education. I always encourage my students to achieve their best while facilitating their mastery of subject content and study methods within each of my lessons. Working closely to address the individual needs of each student, I can provide highly individualized instruction using a diverse range of teaching strategies to maximize learning and retention.

My hobbies include playing guitar, bass guitar, drums, hiking, rock climbing, reading, writing fiction, and cooking.
