...concepts. As a student, I have taken many classes and many exams. I know how difficult and frustrating it can be when you are unable to get a certain score.

Every student learns differently, and I actually struggled a lot in...

...ranging from underprivileged preschoolers in rural Tennessee to Houston high schoolers to adults. I never received less than a perfect score on the SAT or PSAT verbal tests, in two sittings of each test. As a musician, clarity of communication (via clear, logical syntax and rhetoric) is paramount to my teaching which makes me particularly effective for students working to internalize the mechanics of language.
