Teaching

---

Jeff has been a dedicated mentor in the San Francisco Bay Area for over a decade. Through mathematically and scientifically-informed teaching methods, Jeff works with music students not only to prepare them for competitions and auditions, but for higher education at academic institutions. Many of his current and past students have won multiple competitions, held principal positions in youth orchestras including California Youth Symphony and Golden State Youth Orchestra, and have since continued their collegiate studies at universities such as Harvard, Northwestern, Caltech, UCLA, and UC Berkeley.

In addition to music, Jeff has instructed Introduction to Computer Programming in C++ at California State University, Fullerton, and continues to mentor students to carve paths to careers in software engineering. Several of his past students and mentees have either gone on founding companies of their own or accepted positions at Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Nvidia.
