"I am a passionate and dedicated tutor with over a decade of experience both playing the viola and tutoring a diverse range of students. As a current sophomore majoring in Psychology at Boise State University, I bring a unique blend of academic knowledge and practical skill to my tutoring sessions. My journey with the viola began in 4th grade, and since then, I've honed my skills through personal practice and participation in various orchestras. This experience allows me to offer in-depth music lessons that are both engaging and informative.

My tutoring experience extends beyond music. Over the past 10+ years, I have worked with students from kindergarten through 12th grade in various settings, from one-on-one sessions to classroom environments. My approach to tutoring is tailored to the individual needs of each student, focusing on building a strong foundation in the subject matter while fostering a love for learning. I believe in creating a supportive and interactive learning environment, where students feel comfortable to ask questions and are encouraged to challenge themselves.

In my sessions, I combine traditional teaching methods with creative approaches, such as interactive exercises and real-world examples, especially when teaching academic subjects. My goal is to not only help students achieve academic success but also to instill confidence and a sense of accomplishment in their educational journey. Whether it's guiding a student through the complexities of a viola piece or simplifying a challenging concept in math or science, I am committed to providing a comprehensive and enjoyable learning experience." less...
