Teaching is very rewarding, and I believe learning should be too. One of my greatest accomplishments has been to equip students to be independent learners by helping them discover joy and purpose in what they learn as well as the self-awareness they need to keep improving. It is a life-long adventure.

Subjects I teach would fall into four main categories: Computer Science/Programming, ESL, Math, and Music. I would like to explain my background regarding each category:

Computer Science/Programming: I am 3 courses away from a BS in Computer Science and I'm currently working on a real-life project involving web development, databases, and Android development. A large part of this project requires explaining technical concepts to coworkers who don't have the same technical background I do.

ESL: I've also taught ESL to children in Asia for 5 years, so I have an awareness of and ability to help ESL/ELL students through many of the challenges they may have.

Math: I have completed coursework through a high-school level of basic Calculus and had the pleasure of tutoring a Pre-Calculus high school math student shortly after graduating from high school. It was a fun and rewarding experience, probably even more for me than for the student. Since high school, I have also had to apply my Algebra in some Computer Science coursework.

Music: I have a Music Minor with my first BS. At a young age, I learned to play the violin by ear through the Suzuki Violin Method and have just started giving my own son of 4 years his first violin lessons! I thoroughly enjoy helping people with some musical passion learn the skills and tools they need to express themselves through music.
