Hi there! I'm Andy, and very enthusiastic about teaching your students socks off.

You wont find another person more passionate about the Arts. I enjoy uplifting students to perform to the best of their ability and will ensure each of them receive the best assistance they can get. Teaching is extremely rewarding for me, and I hope to share that reward with the students over the years. I hope to make magic time and time again in the classroom, and create a safe environment where students can develop into adulthood.

My pedagogical approach focuses on engaging and including all students in the classroom, ensuring their needs are met and being able to discuss whatever their interests are outside of learning time. I find myself able to easily relate to and give students advice and information that they may need within their long, challenging days. I enjoy spanning multiple subjects and bouncing around from the arts to English department, giving a sense of student progress across multiple areas.

My parents were both teachers, so I have had pedagogical values ingrained from my early years. I have over a decade of private and public music performances and some years of tutoring. I am an investment that you will be excited to see a return in.
