Outside of teaching, I enjoy music; playing guitar and songwriting. I love watching and playing basketball, watching football, and reading (mostly theology these days). To relax I draw and play video games, and wish I had more time to do all the things I love. I have also thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2005 and bicycled across the United States in 2008.
What is your teaching philosophy?
My tutoring style challenges students to develop a solid conceptual understanding so they are able to solve a variety of related questions. I tend to discourage shortcuts or simplifications, and ask students questions about background material and related concepts to aid in their understanding of the current topic.
