As a guitar instructor for more than twelve years, the main goal of my teaching strategy is to keep my students motivated and engaged.

Moreover, keeping effective communication with the students outside and inside the school is vital, in order to assist them in their studies and make the school environment more friendly and acceptable.

I studied biochemistry until taking a semester to study violin with Barbara Gorzynska in Vienna, after which I found an interest in the processes of learning and authentic relationships to one's activity. This time abroad was certainly a large influence on my teaching style, as I learned a great deal about the violin for one, but moreso was my education in philosophy. Read More
