About Me

I am passionate about learning, that's why I spent my time in college pursuing three majors. I care not only about what we learn, but also how we do so. I value scientifically proven methods of low stakes quizzing and interleaving of topics in my teaching. I find that students who realize how to learn become much more engaged in their material, regardless of what it is they are learning. My degree in classical studies has given me a command of language of which I am proud, and this, coupled with my training and work as an actor, has enabled me to communicate concepts to students with numerous, precise, and individualized explanations. Students are often shocked by how bearable their least favorite subjects become when they're not so painful or scary. I try to give them the tools to make that happen.

Q&A with Griff

Teaching is not fundamentally about offering students facts--that is the purpose of reference books and "Google." Rather, teaching is about showing students where such facts come from, why these facts are meaningful, and how these facts connect in such a way as to improve our understanding of our world and our experience.
