Music Teacher: Ukulele, Piano, Harp, and Violin - and Tutor in Academic Subjects: Biology and Writing  

I teach music lessons in ukulele, harp, violin, and piano. I especially like Celtic music. I studied the piano and violin in Southern California where I grew up. I'm mostly self-taught in the Celtic harp and taken classes from several excellent Bay Area harpers. More recently, I've been teaching ukulele-- a fantastic instrument for beginners. I love seeing students develop in their musical abilities and have fun expressing themselves with music. 

I'm also an experienced and patient tutor for academic subjects and music teacher working with students of various ages from elementary school to college. I worked as a staff scientist at UCSF for several years after getting my PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology from UC Berkeley. I really enjoy working with students and have been told I am patient and have an excellent and clear way of explaining things. I was awarded a PhRMA fellowship for my postdoctoral research on using bioinformatics approaches to studying and comparing proteases from parasites and humans. I have also previously written professionally as a public information specialist and have tutored adults, college and high school students in English and writing and have also tutored math.
