I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Kyle

Certified Tutor

My name is Kyle Lanier and I am passionate about helping students succeed in music! I have been teaching for 20 years and have experience in all levels K-12, was a band director for 14 years and now teach elementary music in an International Baccalaureate school. I received my Bachelor of Music degree from East Carolina University in Greenville, NC and a Master of Arts in Human Services Administration from Southeastern University in Lakeland, FL. I am comfortable tutoring students in all types of music subjects from theory to history and even can help with instrument or voice lessons as needed. While I love all types of music, I truly love teaching trumpet lessons because I am a professional trumpet player and perform with the local symphony in my community, and freelance as needed. My teaching philosophy is that of an encourager and facilitator in student learning. I approach learning as a coach, coming alongside the student to assist them as needed, but ultimately to cheer them on in their pursuit of knowledge. In addition to my love for music, I'm also a technology geek and love exploring various types of technology.
