I have over 10 years of experience working directly with students as a tutor and educator, supporting learners from elementary school through high school and adults. Most of my work has been one-on-one, which has shaped a highly adaptive teaching style focused on understanding how each student thinks, processes information, and stays engaged.
I studied Jazz Studies at the USC Thornton School of Music, where I also completed extensive coursework in piano, guitar, and music theory. Alongside my academic background, I actively use generative AI and digital tools to support learning, organization, and creative problem-solving, helping students build modern study skills and adaptability. I’ve worked through private tutoring and organizations such as Study Smart Tutors, and I currently serve as the California coordinator for the Music Link Foundation, supporting access to education for students from low-income backgrounds. I’m also an active artist and songwriter under my project Swelles, which informs my emphasis on creativity, discipline, and independent thinking.
What sets me apart is my ability to simplify complex ideas without talking down to students. I focus on clarity, confidence, and independence, adjusting my approach in real time based on age, learning style, and feedback, with the goal of helping students understand how to learn—not just what to complete.
