About

Welcome, all violinists! This series is an opportunity to get a 30-minute private violin session each week. I teach beginners and early-intermediate students. I will be providing all lesson materials. You will be required to practice outside of lessons to prepare and move forward with your skills. Currently, I have lesson availability on the weekends and after 8 pm Central time.

View Profile

I am a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin- Madison, where I studied Molecular and Cell Biology and Scientific Communication. I currently work at an international biotechnology company working in their small molecule department as a scientist developing new medicines. I have a love of learning which has led me to be able to speak 3 languages which are English, German, and Turkish, and I am currently learning more. In addition to my academic studied, I also play numerous instruments. As a tutor, I am very passionate about helping students reach their full potential in all levels of school. I love school and want to help others gain the passion for learning and enjoy not only the outcome, but also the process. I tutor biology, chemistry, writing, German, Turkish, and a variety of AP classes to help students prep for their exams. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, playing D&D, and watching movies/TV shows.
