Award-Winning AP Music Theory Tutors

...long race is nothing like the satisfying moment of writing "Q.E.D." on a difficult proof. I'm a scholar of the Western canon, greatly influenced by great thinkers and writers of the past such as Plato, Virgil, Aquinas, and Anselm. I love to read and to discuss what I've read, and I heartily appreciate a good philosophical argument. Extracurricularly, I write musicals, one of which premiered at Yale last year, and attend Yale Political Union meetings...

...wide range of ages in a wide variety of subjects throughout college. My passion for languages shapes my preferred tutoring realm; I especially enjoy teaching others the languages I am familiar with and fluent in, which include English, German, Italian, and Spanish. I also enjoy assisting in science-related fields, mostly for school-aged children and teens. Lastly, in my fifteen years of violin-playing, I have been part of a number of ensembles, including the Columbia University...

...Music. Outside of work (where I am a management consultant), I play hockey and piano. Since high school, I have helped fellow students with academics. At school, I was also a tutor through Penn's Tutoring Center. I think what makes me a successful tutor is the ability to not only understand the material but also the perspective of the tutee. This helps me convey necessary information in the best way possible for that particular student.

I aim to give students the skills to approach any problem with confidence. Through active problem solving and diagnostics, even the most daunting assignments and problem sets can be deconstructed into digestible information.

...need more focus and use a student’s time efficiently and effectively. Learning should not be frustrating or discouraging; my goal is to help students navigate the academic waters, so to speak, and to make learning into a fun and rewarding experience. In my spare time, I enjoy playing sports (especially soccer), playing the violin, solving Rubik’s cubes, and playing old video games. As well, I have had the privilege of being a camp counselor during...

...in every way possible, no matter the subject. My teaching style is very hands-on and involved. I begin by assessing which way a student learns best and then tailor the material to fit their learning needs. As their skills and knowledge evolve, I evolve with them. We will work together to set goals and develop a plan to meet them in a reasonable time frame. Outside of academia, my interests include playing with dogs (especially...

...the student truly understand the conceptual underpinnings of the material they are studying, but I am flexible to adjusting to a variety of learning styles. My speciality is computer science, math, and physics, though I'm capable of teaching a wide range of subjects. Having thoroughly studied them, I'm quite experienced with standardized testing. I am also a veteran of the college application process, and I can offer solid advice and counseling for those prospective college...

...School in the University of Pennsylvania and previously graduated from The Lawrenceville School cum laude. I began tutoring in 2019 and love working with students of all ages and backgrounds. I'm open to tutoring a very broad range of subjects (although I have the most experience with math) and test prep. I love learning and teaching others, so please reach out if you're interested in working with me or if you have any questions!

...they understand the phenomena around them. Due to this fascination, I have spent many hours trying to figure out what makes certain learning techniques "better" than others, and I have become well versed in a variety of teaching styles. Personally, I learn through understanding, and try to teach others through that same understanding. In my spare time I like to practice piano, guitar, and, of course saxophone. I also love to sail, to read, and...

I am a senior in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Eastern Michigan University, and I have been tutoring for about five years, from middle school to early college age students. My hobbies are painting/drawing, playing piano and guitar, and playing with my pet rats and my cat! ...

...fellowship called Breakthrough Collaborative in San Francisco in which I learned specific teaching strategies such as strategic questioning, thought process verbalization, sentence starting, role reversal, etc. In addition to teaching, I have conducted research on education policy and teacher feedback systems. I am finishing an honors thesis on the importance of preschool teacher-child relationship quality in the development of depression, and hope to work at a research institution before becoming a teacher. In my spare...

I am a current MBA student at the Yale School of Management who will also be attending UCLA School of Law post-MBA. I've also enjoyed taking standardized tests and "cracking" their code; so I love getting to continue to work on this with my students.

...that may help all different types of students. I think it is important to find the easiest and the most efficient and enjoyable techniques for each particular student, as every individual learns better in different ways. As a college student now, I still use many of these studying strategies and have been exposed to even more from my fellow peers. I am very hard-working and dedicated, not to mention friendly, flexible, and unwaveringly supportive! :-)

I am a gifted communicator who is capable of excelling at any task presented. An educator first in everything I do, I bring an empathetic and dutiful approach to my work that places a high premium on creating a positive learning environment. You will find me a very passionate and valuable member of the team....

...AP classes; as a student at the University of Chicago, I developed exemplary writing and critical reading skills; and as a tutor, I learned how to convey those skills to students of all ages, from many different backgrounds, in both one-on-one and group settings. Need to raise those scores? Having trouble telling a participle from a predicate? Want to make your college essay the best it can be? I'm here to help.... My role as a...

...arts, I also have a keen amateur interest in science, primarily in physics (A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking was my introduction) but also in chemistry, biology, psychology, and sociology. My teaching style is based upon the premise that knowing how to think is much more useful than knowing what to think. My sessions are characterized by frequent questions and discussion of basic concepts, making sure that each student understands not just the...

I work to give all of my students the tools and strategies they need to be successful. As an experienced music teacher, this means developing critical listening and practice skills. For test takers, this takes the shape of understanding test and question format, strategies for breaking down complex material, and educated guessing. My goal is to make the test work for the way you think, and I excel in creative ways to relay this information.

...and English, and in high school and college I honed my teaching abilities further by serving as a musical director for various musical theater productions and singing ensembles. Additionally, I invested substantial amounts of time preparing for the SAT and many AP exams: I know the tests well and am excited to explore the varieties of questions with students as they prepare for the exams. Besides nurturing interests in many academic areas over the years,...

...and skill levels. In my lessons, I like to establish a foundation in rhythm and intonation. I am currently pursuing my bachelor's of music education at Columbus State University. I am on my fifth year of music theory courses, and I earned a 5 on my AP Music Theory Exam. I also am proficient in sight singing and aural skills. Please contact me if you are interested in getting lessons. I don't bite!

...working with students and helping them meet their potential. My goal is to make whatever we are working on approachable and easy to understand. I will always try to find multiple ways to explain or remember a problem where possible, and will do my best to help you understand 'why', so that you can do better on not only the problem in front of you, but also on other problems like it in the future....
