Experience

A lifelong professional musician, I returned to complete my undergraduate degree in my thirties. I have a passion for politics, history, and English Literature, and keep abreast of current events and cultural developments. In my musical career, I honed public speaking and management skills. I have effectively mentored young artists and students throughout their musical and academic journeys. In recent years, I have embraced tutoring and specialize in motivating students prone to procrastination and poor self confidence, particularly when it comes to writing essays. In my tutoring practice, I take an encouragement and accountability approach. I believe that anyone can write an effective essay with the right instruction.
