Fun Facts

I am fanatical about the BIONICLE universe. I stopped following the storyline in 2008 and have been meaning to pick it up again, but my brain is packed full of random facts about both the canonical characters and the physical models, served with a heaping side of nostalgia.

About Me

I graduated from William & Mary in May of 2019 with a BA in music and a minor in math. My favorite areas of study are musical theory, composition, and conducting, but I am also interested in number theory and physics; in time I hope to become a collegiate choir conductor. I love fantasy and science fiction (Tolkien is my personal favorite), board games, and all things nerdy. In September of 2020 Rachel and I are getting married and I could not possibly be any happier to start my life with her

Experience

I spent two summers working at a camp called Fun Bot Lab, where I taught elementary school children how to build their own LEGO robots; this summer I am employed at the camp The MusicianShip, where I direct a choir composed of at-risk children in DC as well as provide lessons in music history and theory. I was also the section leader of my high school choir and director of several musical ensembles in college, so I have a good deal of instructional experience from kindergarten through college.

Approach

In addition to my experience with teaching, I have also spent plenty of time as a student, but I have always found the most rewarding work and feedback in one-on-one settings, be they instrumental lessons, meetings with professors, or anything else of that nature. There is a great deal of merit in getting to know students individually to be able to teach them according to what they need and how they process information, and a great deal of fulfillment as well for both teacher and student.

Astronomy Tutoring

I took two semesters of astronomy in college and excelled at both of them - one I took pass/fail, but the other I finished with an A for the semester. I have a very good intuitive grasp of the underlying science and methods behind this field of study. Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, I can't help but be captivated by the beauty and wonder of space, and as a tutor I will not be able to help but convey that excitement through my teaching style.

Calculus I Tutoring

I am first and foremost a musician, but mathematics has always been a very close second for me. I felt more confident going into and coming out of my AP Calculus BC exam than I did any of the others I took save music theory, and I have followed up this course in college with multivar and ordinary differential equations. The concepts of calculus come very naturally to me, and I am confident that I can convey them effectively.

Math Tutoring

Mathematics is a very important part of my life, and I would love the opportunity to share its beauty with others.

Music Theory Tutoring

Of all classes I have ever taken, I have always excelled peerlessly in music theory.

I would love the opportunity to share my knowledge and passion with others.
