Tallis’s first encountered Waldorf education at age two, in a Parent-Child class at Potomac Crescent Waldorf School. He went on to Grade 1 at Washington Waldorf School, and continued his education at public schools in the DC area. Since his parent was a Waldorf teacher, Tallis remained exposed to Waldorf culture, even working in Waldorf Early Childhood summer camps during his teenage years.
Tallis attended university at St. John’s College, graduating from the Annapolis, MD campus. He studied the rigorous, all-required “Great Books” Program. Through these interdisciplinary studies, Tallis rediscovered his love of learning and the liberating power of education. For three of his years at St. John’s, Tallis worked as a Teaching Assistant in Ancient Greek, Classical Physics, and Music Theory, respectively. He is passionate about teaching Math in an approachable and meaningful way.
In his free time, Tallis likes to read, cook, tinker with technology, and garden.
