About
I tailor all my classes to to fit the students' needs. I am not only proactive in my work, but I also strive to have an excellent student-teacher relationship. I am well versed in what I teach and will never accept any position or job that I am not full confident in teaching.
I love watching the kids set and achieve mini-goals. It makes my heart melt to see how a little success can go a long way!

How did you get started teaching?
I started substituting at a local studio/tutoring center and just fell in love with it. I love seeing the gleam in a kid's eyes when they accomplish those little milestones and achievements.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've work with students age 5-18 primarily. I also have experience with a lot of adult students.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Successful student-teacher relationships are dependent on a healthy amount parental involvement and chemistry. One lesson won't be enough to establish chemistry but also never get stuck with a teacher that both the student and the parents are unsure about. After a few lessons, if it doesn't feel right then it doesn't feel right. There's no hard feelings but we are all here to achieve the best results and for the student to learn in the best environment possible.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are my goals? What time frame would I like to achieve these goals in? Am I willing to put in the effort?
