Experience Summary
I have tutored students in guitar and voice for 5 years, with over sixty different students of all ages. I hold a Bachelor of Science from Florida State University in Political Science. I am currently working towards my Master's in Applied Politics & Policy, also from Florida State University. I am currently involved in a large project, editing a fantasy novel for content, clarity, and creativity.
Teaching Style
Having tutored for five years in music, I understand that not everyone learns the same way. I try to tackle learning challenges at an individual level, rather than prescribing a "one size fits all" model of teaching. I find that many times my job evolves from tutor to coach - sometimes all a student needs to succeed is someone who believes in them, and who is willing to be their cheerleader rather than simply their taskmaster. I never give up on my students, but more importantly - I don't allow them to give up on themselves.
