...my upperclassman years. One of my biggest passions is music, as I've played drums, guitar, piano, and bass for the churches local to me, in church services and events in an upwards of 1200+ attendees!

...as a Teaching Assistant at Whitworth University, as a youth mentor at West Side Church in Richland, WA, and as an English teacher in Taiwan. As a tutor, my teaching philosophy focuses on helping students to develop the confidence and study skills they need to successfully learn on their own.

My teaching philosophy revolves around helping students gain the confidence that they need to master new material. Students thrive when they recognize that they are capable of learning. Listening to student's own concerns and ideas, and helping students talk through problem areas, can unlock the cognitive blocks that inhibit learning.

...I am convinced that everyone can become "fluent" in music theorywhose benefits include a deeper appreciation of music, better understanding of how to practice, and the ability to start composing one's own music. Often those who struggle with music theory already know so much about music that all it takes is just a few tiny bits of overlooked or misunderstood information to produce those "aha!" moments. I am currently writing my own music theory method...
