I am a a classical composer and pianist with BA in music from Lewis and Clark College and an MM in music composition from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

Steve
Neuroscience PhD
I love to teach. My style, which got me A's in undergraduate and PhD school, is to extract the key concepts from a topic. This not only made it interesting but made it more natural memorizing lists of things (something I was never good at). Not only that, I feel my training method has helped my retain knowledge in my career as a Neuroscientist. Passing exams is one thing, but when people look to hire they want you to be fluent, confident, and (above all) interested in what you do. I ... Read more

Acting is taking action, so actors need to act upon something. That something is the crux of the matter for an actor. Once an actor finds his/her actions, then performing th Read more

I am an ESL teacher with 10 years of experience
I fell in love with teaching right after I graduated from university. I was very lucky to have the opportunity to teach English through the Fulbright Commission in Austria for a year.
