I recently read a book a day for three months, and am working on reading a book from every country. I love all kinds of writing and reading. I'm also very into cats, the beach, and creatures that live in the deep ocean.

What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that teaching should set a student up to keep learning in the future-- in always learning more about how to learn and to really understand a particular concept. I ask questions to help a student grow.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I want to know what the student's goals for our time together are: what are the areas they are struggling with and what material do they want or need to cover. Additionally it's important to know if there's anything that they know works or doesn't work for them as a student. We'll also get started on the material.
