Hobbies

Hi, I'm interested in all sorts of things. I love the outdoors, surfing, climbing and hiking. I also play music, write and make art, so I'm comfortable with all sorts of kids. I'm open, curious, friendly and encouraging. And I like to learn, so I find the tutoring experience can be as enriching for me as it hopefully is for the students with whom I work.
