About

I am a former four-year college baseball player, pitching at Lesley University, where I was a two-time NECC Academic All-Conference selection. I teach 5th grade English, and coach baseball and basketball. I’m certified by the National Pitching Association, spent several years as a college pitching coach, and was Director of Baseball at Sluggers Academy for 3 years.

I enjoy helping students become better, more confident baseball players.

Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

Before beginning instruction, I find out what the student hopes to achieve from the experience. I then have them complete drills that identify their mechanical strengths and weaknesses, which I then you to develop my instructional practice.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have a BA in Elementary Education, a MA educator's license for grades 1-12, and teaching experience. I played four seasons of college baseball at Lesley University, and have experience as a college pitching coach. I am also certified by the National Pitching Association.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.

$80 per hour and $50 per half hour

What types of students have you worked with?

I have coached teams from 10u through college.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?

Pick somebody that understands teaching as well as they understand the game. You should also probably pick someone with a sense of humor because playing baseball is something that should be enjoyable.

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?

Why do I want to learn?

What can I do to make myself better?

How can I apply the lessons I learn during a lesson to my own practice at home.

(I'll answer all of these questions at the end of a lesson, but it helps the conversation if you have your own ideas.)
