I am pursuing a degree in English and Political Science at Tufts University. I have tutored middle school, high school, and college students in writing, public speaking, argumentation, clarinet performance, and music theory. I currently work as a high school policy debate coach and as a college parliamentary debate curriculum director. I will be a Writing Fellow at Tufts in the fall.I am particularly passionate about tutoring in subjects related to essay writing and critical reading. This is my favorite area to tutor in because I strongly believe that everyone can benefit from writing skills. As a debate coach and writing tutor, I have seen high school students of diverse interests gain confidence and independence when they learn to express themselves more clearly. I think that the study of textual expression is much more than an English-majors-only activity - it is an essential part of learning to communicate with others and is important for any career.Outside of academia, I enjoy competing in college parliamentary debate, playing clarinet, and reading about history and politics.I can tutor the following subjects on Varsity Tutors.

I am a graduate of Tufts University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English as well as a minor in History. Since graduation, I have worked as a 7th grade Reading Language Arts teacher in Dallas Texas at a newly formed public all boys school. This has provided me with great experience and insight into how students best learn and how to create culturally responsive lessons that students will engage with. I am most passionate about English, Literature, History, and Spanish. In my experience, working to prepare students for state standardized tests has had the additional benefit of helping students to discover what they enjoy reading about. This increase in intrinsic motivation to read has had an important impact on struggling students. I am dedicated towards ensuring that students are provided with an education that increases their quality of life.In my spare time I enjoy reading short fiction, photography, skiing, coaching weightlifting, and traveling with my family.

I am a graduating senior seeking to attain a Bachelors of Arts in Economics at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. Next year I will be working at Oracle based in Burlington Massachusetts. I am also pursing a minor in Computer Science and Child Studies and Human Development. In high school I was a volunteer tutor at my middle school where I tutored students one on one in overall homework help and subjects like algebra and earth science. In college, I am apart of Tufts Tutoring where I tutor local Medford High School Students. I also have a year experience tutoring students in Physics on Varsity Tutoring. I have tutored three students in overall homework help, Spanish, and physics. Even though I have tutored students in a wide variety of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor in are science and math. These are tough subjects for all students and subjects that I have struggled with in the past. Being able to help students like me that feel frustrated in science and math in school and in standardized testing gives me great happiness. Education and learning is so important and valuable and being able to help students through the tricky parts of it gives me great joy.

I tutor students in both the Math and English portions of the PSAT, SAT, and ACT exams. I also tutor the subjects of Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra II, and AP Calculus AB. Currently, I am a rising junior at Tufts University working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics. I have over 3 years of experience in peer tutoring high school math. In addition, I have tutored over 50 students on Varsity Tutors in the past 2 years. It brings me joy to tutor students because I am able to help them grow in confidence and in their understanding of new topics.

I am a motivated person who loves teaching others about STEM. I seek to not only instruct my students on required material so that they get good grades, but also inspire them to love science and math. I work with an education non-profit tutoring in math, biology, chemistry, and robotics to high school students, trying to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. From years of physics education and research experience the fields of hematology, high energy particle physics, and radiation oncology, I have an in-depth knowledge of the subject matter and of the careers in STEM. I will work with you individually to give you a holistic view of the subjects we cover and how to relate them to your own life.

I am a recent graduate from Tufts University with a major in International Relations and a minor in Economics. I have been helping students since I was in middle school working with students of all ages from kindergarten to college. Prior to spending four years at Tufts, I attended a boarding school in Massachusetts where I was committed to tutoring middle school students at a local Boys and Girls' Club for all four years. I always enjoyed seeing the energy of younger students who were eager to learn and their visible improvements. I also worked as a teaching assistant for an SAT prep center where I tutored SAT verbal and writing along with SAT II literature and math. I moved to Las Vegas a few months ago after finishing up college, and I would love to get back to working with students on a regular basis because I understand the importance of education and enjoy helping and seeing results. My favorite subject to teach is SAT because with the right help it is a standardized test that can see huge improvements in scores. Writing section is especially my forte because I think that grammar is the basic building block of the English language that deserves a little more attention in school. I feel a great sense of fulfillment when students start to understand the different structures of English sentences and appreciate such knowledge. In my spare time, I like to stay active and go to yoga classes, including antigravity yoga, and drive to national parks for fresh air. I am also a big foodie who enjoys regular trips to different restaurants with friends and an avid movie fan. I look forward to meeting with students here in Las Vegas!

I am a student at Tufts University studying Peace and Justice Studies and Sociology. I have a variety of experience tutoring K-12 students in all academic subjects. I strongly believe that each student learns differently. Therefore, I ensure that my teaching skills are adjusted so that they are an ideal fit for each student I tutor.

My name is Cionna and I am an engineer by education and scientist by occupation. I have a bachelors in Chemical Engineering and a masters in Bioengineering. Outside of work, I am passionate about math, science, and helping students build their confidence in those subjects. Since each student has a unique learning experience, it is important to meet students where they're at and find a way to best facilitate their learning. I hope to inspire and help each person that I meet.

I studied International Relations, Arabic, and Economics at Tufts University before deciding to pursue a career in medicine. While completing my post-bacc at Harvard, I worked as a research assistant in the lab of the Chief of Nephrology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and volunteered extensively. One of my favorite volunteer experiences was tutoring high school students from Dorchester and Roxbury. I taught my students English, Physics, Chemistry, Algebra, Trigonometry, Biology, and helped them with standardized test preparation. My personal tutoring style is to use a combination of relatable metaphors and real life examples to help my students genuinely understand whatever material we are covering. I scored in the 98th percentile on the SAT and the MCAT2015, so I feel confident with a variety of test preparation. I am currently applying to medical school and enjoy powerlifting, grand strategy games, historical fiction, and chocolate.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in both Child Development and French from Tufts University. During my time at Tufts, I also taught in Boston-area preschools, supporting early literacy, numeracy, and social skill development through the Jumpstart program. After graduating, I stayed in Boston and tutored 9th-12th graders in a wide range of subjects while earning my teaching license. After that, I taught 3rd and 4th grade where my students earned best in state scores on their end of year state test. In fact, my students in my final year of teaching were ranked #1 and #2 in the state of Massachusetts on their Math and ELA state tests, respectively. In addition to teaching, I have spent the last 1.5 years working on ELA curriculum design and teacher development for a network of schools in NYC and CT. I am also currently pursuing Master's degrees in Children's Literature (M.A.) and Library and Information Science (M.S.). I love tutoring many subjects and students of all ages, but I am especially passionate about reading. Struggling or reluctant readers often see reading as a chore, so I believe it is imperative to develop a student's love for literacy at the same time as their skill, no matter what age they are. When I'm not working, you can find me pleasure reading (often via audiobook!), running, watching soccer and football, or cooking.

I enjoy working one on one with students to increase their understanding, learning and confidence. I like to use different methods of teaching, depending on the individual and their strengths. I am an advocate for determination, organization, and hard work in approaching learning and achieving success in school.

My name is Anya, and I'm really looking forward to working with you. I'm eager to help you succeed in whatever you're looking to learn. I am a firm believer in discussion and activity-based learning, and have experience working with students of all ages. Let me know if you have any questions, and I'm excited to start working with you!

I received my Masters in Business Administration in strategy and sustainability from Vanderbilt University and am a graduate of Tufts University, where I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a focus on communications. I spent two years working in corporate communications and three years working at the NYC Department of Education in the administration, helping to implement education reform programs for NYC public schools and improve the quality of education for all students. Although I am available to tutor in a range of topics, I am most passionate about English, writing and essay editing, as these skills have proven most useful in my education and career path. I believe that academic success begins with goal-setting, organization and building confidence through engagement and success. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, yoga, running, spinning and spending time with family and friends.

Young teacher who enjoys the one-on-one interaction of tutoring relationships. I believe that every student should feel confident of who they are as a learners and should feel equipped to be successful in school.

I am current undergraduate at Tufts University working towards a degree in biochemistry on the premed track. I have enjoyed teaching since I was young, and I have tutored students in various grades and classes since middle school. My favorites areas to tutor are math and science, including SAT math (algebra & geometry), calculus, biology, and chemistry. I love these fields because they are commonly studied and have a reputation for being challenging. My goal as a tutor is not only to assist students academically but also to help dispel the negative feelings they may have towards learning, and hopefully to foster interest and passion for these beautiful and intricate subjects.

Arjun Reddy (he/him/his). Howdy! I graduated cum laude with a Bachelors in Neuroscience and Pre-Med. I am currently in graduate school pursuing my Master's. I tutored all types of students in Chemistry, Physics, and Math. I tutored privately in high-school mostly to middle-schoolers and other high schoolers in science and math. In college I tutored students through the university's tutoring center for three years before tutoring privately again in my last year. I've seen students who've never taken a course before to those who are coming back to school after working or serving in the military.While in high-school I realized I had a knack for explaining subjects and concepts in many different ways, often relating them to students in new analogies or different aspects. In this way I was able to communicate concepts, thoughts, and material more effectively. I've always been the type to help out other students in need and am often the person people reach out to for quick tips. The way I have advanced and polished this trait and the techniques I use over my college years as a tutor working for both the university as well as privately.I like to ask my students questions to see how much and what they know before diving into problems. When we do problems, I like to work a few out with a student and explain what I'm doing in each step and why. Then I slowly hand the reigns off to the student to work through the problems more and more independently while explaining back to me what they're doing. This way I know the student is learning the material properly and will be able to work without my help in the future. Of course this method can be adjusted to fit each students individual needs.I'm always excited when I see a student's eyes light up with the excitement of learning a new concept or finally being able to solve a problem they couldn't before. I like the challenge of hard questions and explaining hard concepts. I'm easy to reach and respond relatively quickly so don't hesitate to shoot me a line!

I received my education at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. I majored in History and Spanish language and attained a B.A. in both of these subjects, graduating cum laude in 2012. I have since gone abroad to teach English in Madrid, Spain, and returned to get my Master of Library and Information Science at Rutgers University with an expected completion date of May 2015. I have tutored on and off since high school, mainly in Geometry, Chemistry, and History. When I went abroad, I not only taught English in school, but tutored it on the side as well, mainly to students who were having trouble and who were looking to get ahead. I am totally devoted to the student, not willing to give up when things become difficult to understand or explain. I believe I am good at making students really care about the subjects that they are learning, not just learn it for the sake of the test or their teachers. I tutor many subjects, but would have to say that my greatest passions lie in Spanish, History, and Chemistry. I would say that my greatest strengths as a tutor lie in my ability to give perspective on a subject and in my ability to learn as I teach. In addition to tutoring, I greatly enjoy tennis and reading, and I am an avid movie buff.

I am a recent graduate of a Master of Fine Arts Program in Poetry from the University of Florida. During these three years, I taught undergraduate courses in composition, professional communication, and poetry.I have also been a volunteer tutor for both adult and young learners in writing, English, math (at the middle or high school level), and test prep (GED, SAT) for several years.I graduated from Tufts University in 2010 with a double major in English and Community Health.I love helping people and figuring out ways to make education fun and relevant!

I'm an engaging and experienced teacher of Art History and essay writing skills. I hold an MA in Art History from Tufts University, where I worked as Head Teaching Assistant for the introductory Art History courses. I also have 3+ years of experience working as a museum educator in New York City and elsewhere.I live in Providence, RI with a sweet tan dog named Nelly. In my spare time I like to bake, ride on the local bike paths, and relax with reality TV shows.

I am a current undergraduate student at Tufts University pursuing a double major in economics and history, with a minor in physics. My favorite subjects to tutor are history and english because I love to write, so I really enjoy the analytic facets of these classes. I have been an English tutor for four years, a history tutor for one year, and an ACT tutor for nine months. Some of my other experience includes teaching summer classes in South Africa, and volunteering as a caretaker at orphanages in Poland. Outside of tutoring, I row crew in Boston, write poetry, and love walking my two adorable dogs. I am fluent in English, German, French, and I am currently learning Russian. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, and I look forward to working with you!

Hello future students! I am a graduate from Tufts University with a degree in Child Study and Human Development, though I will soon be pursuing a Master's at the University of Vermont to become a speech-language pathologist. Since undergrad, I have worked as a K-2 Literacy tutor, a social worker at a Head Start Preschool, and most recently ran a teen leadership development program at a children's museum. I recognize that traditional education isn't suited for all types of learning, so I'm dedicated to making material accessible to my students for their unique needs. I think that tutoring should be fun while increasing students' confidence and expertise in their subject. When not working, I like to be outside enjoying the sun or at a concert (or both!). I can't wait to meet you!

I graduated summa cum laude from Tufts University with a B.S. in Mathematics, and I am currently an Ed.M. candidate at Harvard Graduate School of Education. For the past four years, I have been a math tutor for the Tufts Literacy Corps, focusing on arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry and geometry. I have also taught Earth and Space Science at Breakthrough Collaborative, violin at the Tufts Community Music Program, and worked with students from age seven to seventeen.Learning is a process of creative discovery, and with each student I tutor, I treasure being a part of that process. I always hope to awaken in my students a love of learning, not just for math, but for a variety of subjects. An avid musician, I hold a B.Mus. in violin performance from the New England Conservatory of Music and enjoy playing classical music in my spare time. I also love a good book, creative writing, the accordion, dancing, and the outdoors.

I am a middle school special education teacher, who has also taught middle school ELA, ESL in a summer program to teenagers, private ESL lessons, and at a home for students with behavioral and emotional issues. I strive to create engaging and challenging lessons to help students improve their skills and become more prepared for college and career success!

I have been tutoring since 2004 and have also served as adjunct professor of English at Newbury College and Spanish at Fisher College, both in Boston. I have also published fiction and non-fiction.If you don't have test material for the PSAT/SAT, ACT, TOEFL, or SSAT/ISEE, no need to worry; I will provide you with material.

As a dedicated tutor with a Master's in Biomedical Sciences from Tufts University and a Bachelor's in Neuroscience from The University of Texas at Austin, I am passionate about fostering a deep understanding of subjects like AP Biology, Genetics, and Psychology. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I focus on creating a supportive learning environment tailored to each student's needs, using interactive methods that connect concepts to real-world applications. I believe that every student has the potential to excel, and my goal is to inspire curiosity and confidence in their academic journey. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring the latest developments in science, which I incorporate into my lessons to make learning engaging and relevant.

I graduated cum laude from Tufts University in Massachusetts with a BS in Mathematics while also taking numerous science courses to meet my pre-med requirements. I have tutored math, chemistry, biology and physics for the last seven years and have a lot of experience working with many types of students of varying ages. I attempt to make the subject matter more interesting for the student by relating it to the student's own interests. In addition to having the student master the subject matter, I always try to have them gain an appreciation for the subject as well.

In high school, standardized tests did not come naturally to me. With an A average in all AP and honors classes and an overflowing list of extracurricular activities, it frustrated me that something like one test score could affect my college admissions. But like most challenges in my life, I viewed it as motivation. I took a course, got private math tutoring, took practice tests, and came up with essay prompts. Ultimately, I got a very strong score, ranking me in the 96th percentile. I have since graduated cum laude from Tufts University with a BA in English and minors in Art History and Media Studies.As a member of the National Honor Society and Peer Leaders, I decided to use my experience to help others. I knew there had to be other students out there who were extremely bright and simply didn't excel at standardized tests. I began tutoring for the SAT, specializing in the verbal and writing sections. It was an incredible feeling to coach students through this test and watch their scores climb. I later had that same satisfaction on a personal level when I tutored my younger brother throughout his SAT preparation. He is now finishing his freshman year at his top choice university and he could not be happier. In addition to private SAT instruction, I tutored English and History throughout middle school and high school, as well as test prep including ISEE, SHSAT, SSAT, and TACHS.I think my own struggle and ultimate success makes me a stronger tutor than if it had been easy for me from the start. I understand the roadblocks that come up in certain students' heads. Not everyone's brain works the same way and I think it is extremely helpful to be able explain things from different anglesto translate this language of the test or textbook.I have a real love of learning and my background in English and performance (I am a freelance writer and actor) reflects my passion for communication.

I have been tutoring for over 8 years in the maths and sciences, helping students out at all skill levels (elementary through college). Excelling in these studies myself, I guide my students on study skills, tricks and trades to the subject, and how to best tackle difficult problems. I cater to the learning styles of all students and try my best to find the easiest way for us to tackle a challenging subject so that once on your own, you feel confident in your abilities to excel.

I'm a student at Tufts University majoring in Biomedical Engineering with an intended minor in English. I've been tutoring throughout high school and college in a variety of core STEM and humanities courses, working in both a paid and volunteer capacity. Building a fundamental understanding of a subject in order to develop the flexibility to solve challenging, out-of-the box problems has always been my favorite way both to learn and to teach.Through my major, I've had the opportunity to integrate math, physics, chemistry, and biology in the context of medical innovation. As such, I've developed an understanding of real-world applications of and connections between the subjects we study in school, and I'm enthusiastic about communicating that understanding with others. I'm also involved with a variety of student publications on campus, including the student-run medical journal, and I'm an avid reader and writer.

I'm a current PhD student at Tufts University studying Applied Math, and formerly I attained my Bachelor of Science in Math at Pepperdine University. I have been tutoring math for three and a half years now, including Calculus, Differential Equations, and Algebra. I also have taken and tutored many standardized tests, including AP Calc, A-Level Math/Further Pure Math, and GRE Quantitative Analysis. In addition, as a Chinese native speaker, I'm also tutoring Chinese speaking and writing. Outside of academia, I enjoy playing music and sports. I am currently a keyboard player in my band and a member of the school dancing team and table tennis team. I'm looking forward to meeting my tutees and becoming friends with each one of you!

I am a graduate of Michigan State University, where I studied Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Humanities. I am currently enrolled at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, where I study Development Economics and International Monetary Policy. I have worked as a Teaching Assistant, Research Assistant, and as an Actuary, and have a particular passion for teaching Mathematics. When tutoring I try to include visualizations and real world examples whenever I can so that it does not feel like a fruitless exercise. I help students reach their goals with a two-pronged approach: reinforcing and building upon strengths while targeting weaknesses. In my free time I exercise, play the piano and volunteer with the Jewish Vocational Service.

I am an enthusiastic, empathetic, student-centered educator focused on meeting students of all ages where they are and helping them achieve their goals. I have been teaching and learning all my life! My trademark pedagogy involves personalized, hands-on, interactive activities (even in a remote setting). My unique approach employs interactive strategies across subjects, especially essay writing, critical thinking, and analysis. I am particularly attuned to students with unique learning styles. As someone who attended college and received both my advanced degrees on scholarship (Vassar, Emerson, Tufts), I am an advocate for equal opportunity education. I have worked one-on-one with students of all ages, including thesis and dissertation coaching. For me, learning is fun!

As a passionate tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Tufts University, I am dedicated to helping students excel in their studies. With experience as a Teaching Assistant for a software-focused course, I have developed a student-centered approach that emphasizes adaptability and personalized learning. I enjoy working with students to identify their unique challenges and tailor my methods to meet their needs, whether it's in high school mathematics, including Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus, or in college-level Computer Science, particularly in C/C++ and Python. My motivation stems from witnessing the growth and confidence that comes with understanding complex concepts, and I strive to create a supportive environment where every student can thrive.

My name is Tamara, I graduated from Tufts University with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Biotechnology and am currently a DMD candiate. I would be happy to help out with any science, math, or admissions test prep for students of any age. I am a very enthusiastic person who thinks that learning should and can be fun!

I majored in environmental engineering at Tufts University, then woke up one day and decided to go to business school at the University of Kansas. At KU, I lived in a dorm and helped dozens of freshmen with math and English homework. I love being able to help people and take pride in my students doing well, so I'd like to continue doing that with Varsity Tutors.

I am great at building rapport with students and figuring out what they need, especially with small groups of students or 1-on-1. I have a lot of educational theory knowledge thanks to my master's degree from NYU in TESOL and Foreign Language Education, and I've put that into practice during my teaching: elementary ESL and high school Japanese and English/ESL. I've also taught English in elementary schools in Japan, and worked online and in person with kids and adults in ESL and Japanese. I have experience tutoring for standardized tests as well. I believe that we can work together to construct knowledge instead of just lecturing at you while you memorize facts. I want to help you learn, grow and realize your own potential!

I am a recent Chemistry Ph.D. graduate with a 7 month break before starting in my next role in management consulting. As the most enjoyable experiences of my career to date have been in teaching and mentoring, I am spending the intervening period tutoring!I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry from MIT, where I was a Presidential Fellow and a Dept. of Defense Graduate Fellow, and my B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Tufts University, Summa Cum Laude with Highest Thesis Honors. Over the course of my scientific research career I have produced 14 research publications, given 12 talks at international conferences, including the largest annual Physics, Chemistry, Materials, and Chemical Engineering conferences in the world, and have received 8 awards, totaling over $300k, specifically in recognition of my research accomplishments.As both an undergraduate and graduate student I have also taught, tutored, and mentored students. At MIT, I won a Graduate Teaching Award for thrice-weekly recitations of Intro Chemistry and Physical Chemistry at MIT; students consistently outperformed their peers in 5 other sections (higher average exam grades on all 4 exams and 9/12 pop quizzes, by an average margin of 5 grade points). As a graduate student, I have mentored over a dozen undergraduate students individually in their research, academics, career planning, and time/workflow management.Alongside my scientific career I have pursued an interest in business, leading to my pending employment as a Management Consultant. I took a full year of Management Science coursework at MIT's Sloan School of Management, including Microeconomics, Marketing, and Competitive Strategy. I applied that education to consulting engagement both freelance and through MIT. I have worked with a $16b Chinese state-owned enterprise on Sales force organization design, a $27b glass manufacturer on market entry into OLED lighting market, and a healthcare software startup on business model development. In those engagements I worked alongside graduate students from MIT and other international schools, and on several occasions presented findings to the senior management of the client firm.In addition to being a Native English speaker, I have studied Japanese for 7 years, including 3 years of college-level coursework and a 6 month stint working in Sales for a $17b semiconductor manufacturer in Japan.No matter what your background and challenges are as a student, I look forward to working together with you!

I believe that everybody enjoys learning. The frustration most people experience in school stems from the fact that the topics are approached in a rigid "one size fits all" manner. I will work with each student to tailor their learning experience to their likes and dislikes. Rather than use boring, generic objects I will use subject matter directly related to the student's interests.Furthermore, I understand that not everybody learns in the same manner. I excel at auditory learning while many others prefer visual information. I will work with each student in a way that I believe they will be most receptive to. I will help them understand how a word problem relates to a picture or an equation, which is the most vital skill to have in mathematics.Most importantly, I will help the student have fun. I remember a lot more information from the teachers who made learning fun and exciting than those who had dry lectures. I hope to leave the students eager to learn more.

I am a graduate of Boston University where I earned both my M.S. and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering. Prior to that, I attended Tufts University where I earned my B.S., also in Biomedical Engineering. During my tenure at Boston University I was responsible for teaching two undergraduate level engineering courses, requiring me to teach in both large classroom and one-on-one settings. I am most comfortable teaching quantitative sciences, although I also have experience teaching standardized tests and more qualitative subjects such as Biology or Chemistry.I am a born and raised Bostonian, having grown up in Reading, MA. I am a proud product of the Massachusetts Public School system. I am a die-hard Patriots fan, as well as a Bruins season ticket holder. My other hobbies include computer hardware and software building/modding, reading, and playing sports.

I'm a graduate of Wesleyan University, Tufts University School of Medicine, the Massachusetts School of Law. Since law school, my focus has been on mediation and am certified in family, divorce and general mediation. My focus throughout my life has been on music and education. I have extensive experience with public speaking and writing. I've written blogs, a book and many articles that have appeared in magazines and professional journals. I've also done public media work and been on the radio and TV. Some of the highlights of my career has been to use these experiences to help kids in need and help other people learn to write and communicate in a way to help other families and kids in need, too. For music, I've been playing the saxophone since elementary school. I love finding new ways to be creative and have conducted jazz ensembles in college as well as a musical. I've written music and love helping other students learn music theory. My true passion is in helping people learn to play the saxophone. I play in concert bands in Massachusetts and love finding ways to continue to help new players continue to learn. In fact, I still call my old teachers to help me when I want to grow more and am currently learning a new instrument the classical guitar. The wonderful adventure of music is there is always a new challenge. I can't wait to help you find your goals whether it be writing, public speaking or music. I've spent my life diving into those areas and look forward to helping you dive into those oceans and explore those areas with you.
