I offer tutoring for standardized tests and academic coursework.

Piano All Genres JazzImprovisation Songwriting Lyrics/Music All Levels
Music is a cumulative art form: what you learn from the song you are writing or learning is what you bring to the next song you write and learn. My motto and key phrase is 'The art of writing is re-writing.' I give honest, clear and concise evaluations. I am by nature a cheerleader and encouraging. I really want you to learn and to become a great songwriter. My years of experience give me an objective point of view toward the craft and helping you write your song.

Lisa
Ivy League Writing Tutor and College and Grad Admissions Consultant
Writing can be hard. Doing it alone, when you don't have the right one-on-one help, can make it harder. Whether you need help with the college, transfer, or graduate school admission process (essays, strategy, SAT/ACT essay writing, school choice) or writing a high school or college English essay (or a corporate manual, speech or grant proposal), I can make the process easier for you. I understand different thinking styles, and tailor my approach to them whenever possible. My standards ar... Read more
Matt
Friendly, patient, and expert tutor
Remember the first time you learned about adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing large numbers, back in elementary school? If you're like most people, it probably seemed really hard. But years later, is it hard now? After elementary school, these are routine math problems most people can easily accomplish. The math is the same, but it is easier to do now. The difficulty of math is learning it, not using it once you know how it works. This is how all math works! Math is a syst... Read more
