I am a lifetime student and avid explorer. I love to travel and experience new cultures, as well as share my knowledge and culture with others. I have studied music, history, and language, and have worked in both the US and Germany.

I love language and literature and hope that I will be able to share that passion with you.

I believe that quality learning comes from caring about the material. I try to meet the student where they are in terms of both skill and interest, and provide them with resources and tricks to expand their knowledge and grow their passion for learning.

Learning using something you're interested in--whether it's through gaining vocabulary related to your favorite hobby, explaining a cool thing you've done, or reading something that interests you--helps with memory and drive to complete the activity.
