Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I genuinely care about helping others learn and succeed. I’ve been blessed with skills in communication, leadership, and problem-solving, and I try to use them in service of my students. I enjoy adapting my teaching so each student can understand, and I’m committed to supporting them until they feel confident and capable.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

After 10 years of teaching, one of my most memorable experiences was helping a student who was about to quit the violin. Through patience, encouragement, and different teaching approaches, I helped him see that although learning can be difficult, progress is always possible. Over time, he not only improved but truly excelled, and today he is one of the most advanced violin players in my country. Moments like this remind me why I love teaching.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I want to create my own school of music, or academy with good teachers who share the passion to teach, and they have just one goal: lead people to the knowledge and they get confidence and feel comfortable learning a instrument!
