A strong drive to improve can come from competition, playing with friends, and above all else, practicing! I believe that competition is a strong drive to push students forward in whatever they are passionate about, and preforming with others is a great way to improve as well. I incorporate many of the practices that I learned from my instructors in college in my teachings, while some are easy to pick at others are more advanced, allowing myself as a teacher to push my students further early on and giving them a advantage for later on!

Tailoring lessons for each individual student is very important to my teaching. Read More

In my experience, by providing a custom lesson plan, students can improve in the areas that they want to learn. Read More
