Guitar with Todd J.

I am currently a Sophomore at the University of Massachusetts Amherst studying foreign languages, economics, and music. I love finding new ways to express myself, whether it's with Japanese or Chinese, or even with some good old Rock and Roll. I love cracking jokes and making people laugh while they learn. Because in my opinion, if you learn to make jokes and laugh about a subject, you can learn it much much faster. I have played in Jazz bands and Rock bands, learning a wide variety of music. Additionally, I was lucky enough to go to Iceland with my jazz band a few years ago and play a few concerts there! My love of languages stems from my passion for problem-solving and new forms of expression. I currently study Japanese and Chinese in college, both with a 4.0 GPA, and hope to start a fourth language soon. I will teach my students how to love their new form of expressing themselves and how to work around challenges that they face. I look forward to teaching you!
