Bio
I am a passionate musician, teacher and empath. I like working with people, young and old. I enjoy finding ways to facilitate learning in each individual that crosses my path.
I am an energetic teacher and committed academic who is driven to make a difference in the lives of those whom I teach. I understand that no two persons learn in exactly the same way, and I therefore go the extra mile to ensure that I meet each of my students' learning needs. In doing this, I am able to facilitate academic and personal growth.
