"Experience:

I’m now in my eighth year of helping students obtain a better grasp on math, test prep, and music theory topics: five on Wyzant focused on SAT and ACT prep, Algebra, Finite math, and Precalculus, and three tutoring Finite math, Calculus, Algebra, and more for the math department at Indiana University. In high school, I co-taught my school’s AP Music Theory course, and helped achieve a record high class average AP score! I now teach music theory for the Young Artist Initiative at the Curtis Institute of Music.

About:

My greatest passions are music, math, and helping others develop their own musical and mathematical abilities. I graduated with a 4.0 from Indiana University with a major in music composition and minors in math and electronic music. In high school, I was a straight-A student, National Merit Finalist, and standardized test whiz, admitted to both Harvard and Yale. Rather than going the Ivy League academic route, I decided to pursue my musical goals in college and major in composition. Now that I know what it’s like to master the “game” of high school, college admissions, and college math courses, I want to pass that knowledge on to others and give them guidance and support to work towards the same!

What to expect:

Tell me what your goals are, and we’ll make a plan to work toward them! As we work on topics together, I’ll ask you questions and share examples with you to help you figure out why the answer is what it is. We’ll discuss math concepts in non-mathematical English so that you’ll develop the skills to figure out difficult problems in the future.
