The core of my mission as an educator is to not only guide students toward realizing their own potentials as musicians, artists and complete human beings, but also to encourage and enable them to visualize their own growth and potential. To do that, I aim to construct learning environments which nurture self- discovery through guidance, as opposed to environments which dictate how students should develop and/or perceive material. The enjoyment I experience from teaching is because of my desire to see my students experience joy through their own learning. Read More

I began teaching private lessons in 2019.
