As discussed in "My Methods" I value our time together and want each student to get the most out of each lesson. I work with students to help them learn what they want to.

My main philosophy is that every student is different and should be treated accordingly. The methods I use are specifically tailored to each student and can be methods that I have learned or developed myself.

Education is a two-way street, and I learn from my students as they learn from me. Read More
