Hey guys! I'm Jay, and I'll make this short. I love teaching a variety of subjects because of my variety of experiences - I received a Master's from USC, wrote music for the No. 1 kid's show "LEGO Ninjago," placed 6th in the nation in Math League Press Competition, and performed music around the world. I've taught ages 4 to 72, and nothing is more rewarding than sharing what I've learned with the person who will do it next!
