When I'm not in the classroom or working one-on-one with students, I enjoy backpacking, reading, playing guitar, and shooting hoops with my recreational basketball team!

What is your teaching philosophy?
Teach to the individual, always. Moreover, learning should be fun, and I try and find a way to make my teaching reflect that belief.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I enjoy discussing and implementing different ways of studying and approaching assignments. I believe that trying out different ways of learning is the best route for figuring out what works best for the individual. Once people know how they learn, how they write, and how they study, they are well on their way to becoming independent learners and thinkers.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
I love finding ways to relate subjects and assignments to the everyday world. If we can figure out how a subject is related to something you care about, the subject immediately becomes much more exciting!
