I am a classical musician. I am passionate about teaching, and I love languages. I work hard to achieve my goals, and I enjoy helping and inspiring others to reach theirs.
I truly care about whether the student is learning, understanding and enjoying the work at hand. I also believe it is important to equip the student with tools to make studying by themselves an easier and more pleasant task.
