My teaching experience began in 2016, when I enrolled in a degree program in secondary education at Southern Connecticut State University.

Upon graduating with a B.A. degree in Physics (Southern doesn't offer music education degrees), I was hired as a Paraprofessional in a New Haven Public School. Read More

I first started teaching back while I was in high school, taking on several students over the summer as they prepared for the upcoming school year.

I like to emphasize the power of consistent and efficient practice, regardless of the student's age. Read More

I believe that students learn in different ways. Due to this, my ability to easily relate to students and understand how they learn is one of my greatest assets. Read More
