Steve
Award-Winning Double Bass Teacher & Performer is a Patient Tutor!

My teaching has seen me work effectively with very young beginners, hundreds of middle- and high school age students, college level, and adult beginners. My former students can be found performing with such elite classical ensembles as the Chicago Symphony and the Lyric Opera of Chicago, and touring with professional jaz... Read more
Jake
MBA student & former English teacher
Nice to meet you! For some context on me: I'm originally from New York City but have moved around a lot. I went to boarding high school in Massachusetts, and college at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. I then spent two years teaching 9th Grade English through Teach For America in the Bay Area. My years teaching, my passion for the humanities (especially History and English), and my excitement about standardized testing (strange, I know) make me very excited to teach again as a tutor. ...

16 years in Speech & Debate: all things Public Speaking & Writing
Hi. I started speech and debate in 4th grade, founded and was 4-year captain of my high school's team, and created a private debate academy just after graduating. I built a very successful public school team not only growing the club to 45 active members my senior year, but doubling our league's record for most students from one school qualifying for the state championship (in one of the most competitive leagues in the country). I love to teach. I love listening and learning how today's s... Read more

With my past 4+ years of music teaching, I realized how engaging students are when given mini music-related games to play during class time.
