With more than eight years of experience in teaching and tutoring, I have proficiently instructed students in math, physics, French, English, and jazz piano. Both in the United States and abroad in France, I have worked with students of all ages, demonstrating a strong ability to communicate subject matter effectively. My credentials include earning a 4 on both the AP calculus and AP statistics tests, touring internationally with award-winning jazz bands, and engaging in a three-month internship in semiconductor research. I have also worked as a project manager and software engineer for HBO. With a B.S. in physics earned with honors from Santa Clara University, I double majored in physics and French, studying in Nantes, France, for a semester in my junior year. In college, I undertook the most rigorous math and physics courses on topics such as vector calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, analytical mechanics, computational mechanics, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics, which allowed me to assist fellow students with their coursework. I began teaching as a result of my love for learning and helping people of all ages. I possess a keen ability to pinpoint knowledge gaps within a student's understanding of a subject and effectively address them. Additionally, as a member of a family of teachers, I am committed to education and fostering growth within my students. In France, I taught English, math, and physics while offering individualized one-on-one tutoring sessions in both French and English. My experience makes me an ideal tutor for anyone seeking tutelage in a subject I have proficiently instructed. I am a kind, patient, precise, and proficient tutor who would love to assist you in any way possible.

Scott was amazing in preparing our 11-year-old daughter for two difficult exams, both of which she aced. Additionally, his math review has left her well-prepared for her upcoming middle school years. Throughout the process, Scott maintained a high level of professionalism and punctuality. We couldn't be happier with his work and highly recommend him!

Out of all the piano teachers I've had (and I've had a fair share due to my youthful wandering), Scotty has undoubtedly become my favorite. His consistent encouragement, kindness, and enthusiasm for my progress in learning jazz make him a joy to work with. As an adult student, I find that learning jazz can be an anxiety-inducing process, but Scotty has a remarkable ability to ease my worries and help me make strides every week. He is adept at teaching music theory and practice habits, and he never fails to provide insightful analogies to aid my comprehension of jazz principles. I sincerely relish every piano lesson with him.
