I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Frequently Asked Questions
Many students struggle with retaining the vast timeline of composers, periods, and works—from Medieval chant to contemporary classical music. Others find it difficult to connect historical context (social, political, technological changes) to the actual music they're studying, or to develop an ear for distinguishing musical styles and characteristics across different eras.
Personalized tutoring helps by breaking down complex periods into manageable concepts, using listening exercises tailored to a student's level, and building connections between history and sound in ways that make the material stick.
High school Music History typically focuses on major composers, periods (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern), and key works within a historical framework. College-level study deepens this with musicological analysis, primary source research, historiography, and often requires understanding music theory alongside historical context.
A tutor experienced in Music History can align instruction with your specific curriculum—whether you're preparing for AP Music History, college auditions, music major entrance exams, or general enrichment—and scaffold learning to match your current grade level and goals.
An excellent Music History tutor combines deep knowledge of composers, periods, and repertoire with the ability to make historical narratives engaging and relevant. They can explain *why* a particular work or innovation mattered, connect musical developments to broader cultural movements, and guide students in active listening—not just memorization.
The best tutors also adapt their teaching to your learning style, whether that's through score analysis, listening comparisons, timeline mapping, or discussion-based exploration.
With personalized instruction, students typically develop stronger retention of composers, works, and historical periods; a clearer understanding of how musical styles evolved in response to cultural and technological change; and improved listening comprehension—the ability to identify characteristics of different eras by ear.
Students also often gain confidence in essay writing about music (if that's part of their coursework), better preparation for exams like AP Music History, and a deeper, more genuine appreciation for classical music that extends beyond the classroom.
Absolutely. While music reading and instrumental skill can enhance study, they're not prerequisites for understanding Music History. The subject is fundamentally about historical narrative, cultural context, and how composers responded to their times.
A tutor can teach you how to listen critically and identify musical characteristics without requiring you to read a score or perform. If you do want to connect theory or performance to your historical studies, your tutor can introduce those elements gradually and at your own pace.
Exam success in Music History requires both broad knowledge and the ability to analyze works, discuss historical significance, and make connections between concepts under timed conditions. A tutor can help you build a systematic understanding of the test's scope, practice identifying unfamiliar works by listening, develop essay-writing strategies, and work through past exams with detailed feedback.
Personalized instruction also identifies your specific gaps—whether that's certain periods, composers, or question types—so study time is spent efficiently on what you actually need to strengthen.
This depends on your goals and current knowledge level. Students preparing for AP exams or college auditions typically benefit from consistent weekly sessions, often starting 8-12 weeks before the exam. Students seeking general enrichment or support with classroom material might meet bi-weekly or as needed around specific units.
A tutor can help you determine a realistic schedule based on your timeline, current understanding, and workload—and can adjust frequency as you progress.
