Hi everybody!

I’m Steve. I grew up as the middle child in Chicago alongside my older sister Kristin and younger brother Andrew. From a young age I have been extremely drawn to arts and creative endeavors, whether it be music, graphic design, photography or videography. Soon I discovered my passion for travelling the world. There is nothing more thrilling to me than exploring new countries and cultures. I left the USA five years ago to discover the world and I feel like the journey has only just begun.

I became interested in education after watching and learning from my family. Each one of my family members is involved in Education. My mother was the Director of Academic Advising at Northwestern University in Chicago. My father was a teacher of music and general education for over thirty years. My siblings, as you might know from their ayoayo.io bios (fun to say), are extremely experienced and passionate about education and knowledge. I soon realized that I wanted to be an educator as well. It's the family business after all!

I've tutored in many subjects over the years including English Language, graphic design, music, photography, and philosophy. I love talking about things that are artistic, scientific, controversial, and downright fun! My students often say that I'm easy and fun to talk to probably because my number one philosophy in life is Happiness. If you don't have that, then what's the point?
