I believe a teacher's greatest asset is not necessarily how much knowledge that can instill into their student, because knowledge can only take you so far. Rather a teacher's greatest asset is inspiration. Read More

My teaching style is to keep things fun and stress free. I really like to listen to what the student wants to get out of the lessons.
