My lesson with Carolyn was excellent. Great tips that immediately made an impact. Facetime worked great and she made it FUN!

Carolyn is so awesome! I approached lessons as a complete beginner and I'm now starting to find my footing more and more with each lesson. I feel like everything I learn is immediately applicable, too. Carolyn is great about breaking down what works for my voice and helping me find the strength (and courage!) to wield it. I couldn't be happier!

Carolyn began working professionally at 8 years old and has since appeared on stage, in national com

Acting

Ages taught: 8 and up

Born and raised in New York, Carolyn began working professionally at 8 years old and has since appeared on stage, in national commercials, recorded voiceovers, and booked principal roles in both film and television. A graduate of the Boston Conservatory at Berklee College of Music (BFA Musical Theatre, emphasis in directing), Carolyn is a veteran member of SAG/AFTRA/AEA. In her spare time, Carolyn has always loved working with people who have a passion for the arts. Her impressive client roster ranges from celebrities and Broadway professionals to children and adults who wish to explore the arts. Whether it’s in a classroom, at a dance studio, or sitting at the piano, Carolyn has worn the many hats of acting coach, voice teacher, dance instructor, music theory tutor, piano teacher, and college audition coach to name a few. Getting cast in Broadway shows, winning first place in national dance competitions, receiving perfect scores on vocal/piano NYSSMA solos, and being accepted to some of the most competitive college programs in the nation are just a few of her clients’ many accomplishments.

Influenced by country music artists like Carrie Underwood and Faith Hill, along with pop icons Kelly Clarkson and Adele, Carolyn has used her big, powerful voice to create her own style that captures the true essence of country-pop. She released her debut EP in 2018 independently, which peaked during pre-order at No. 7 on iTunes Country charts. Since then, Carolyn has opened for artists such as Chase Rice, Ashley McBryde, Walker Hayes, and most recently, kicked off NY’s Country 94.7 Stars and Strings event at the Barclays Center starring Sam Hunt, Dustin Lynch, Chris Janson, Runaway June, and more. Carolyn has been seen on an impressive list of outlets including Hollywood Life, CMT, Taste of Country, Sounds Like Nashville, Country Rebel, The Boot and her songs/videos have been added into rotation on Music Choice and The Country Network. Splitting residency between New York and Nashville, Carolyn has already begun to make a name for herself in Music City, being tapped "One to Watch" by the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) and a Next Up Now artist by CMT.

Despite the circumstances of this unprecedented time, Carolyn still made “2020 an impressive year" (NYCountry Swag). Her first release of the year ["Ain't About That"] reached 130,000+ streams and was added into rotation on Music Choice Pop & Country Channel. The song was also named Country Line "Single of the Week" on Chris Country Radio (UK), voted fan favorite on 104.7 WAYZ and was featured on several media outlets including Digital Journal, Celeb Secrets, Music Mayhem Magazine, NYCountry Swag, among others. Carolyn followed that up with "ALL IN", which received support from Radio Disney Country (song of the week + added into new music rotation), NY's Country 94.7 (WNSH), CMT, The Morning Hangover, Spotify's New Music Nashville editorial playlist, and more. The track also achieved 100,000+ streams to date.

Driven by her passion for performing, Carolyn has turned to livestreaming during her time quarantined, delivering over 100 livestream concerts for various radio stations, media outlets, music venues, and even (virtually) hosting and performing in various high profile events and online festivals. Carolyn sang the national anthem for the NY Mets and hosted (as well as performed on) both of Music Mayhem's virtual country festivals alongside Billy Ray Cyrus, Walker Hayes, Tenille Townes, and more. Additionally, her live acoustic cover of "When You Say Nothing At All'' was featured on Country Rebel, amassing nearly 500,000 views. Carolyn's vivacious and "enthusiastic personality" (Sounds Like Nashville) has drawn in followers of all ages -- from all over the world -- and there’s no sign of her slowing down. “Covid can’t stop the music. It can’t stop our passion. It is our duty as artists to spread joy and love, especially in the darkest times. Music is needed now more than ever.”

This is amazing. I have been looking for a way to learn sign language and this is very easy and fun at the same time. I am excited to learn more.

Melissa, is an amazing teacher! She taught me not only about her cultural but how to accurately use her language. I am now an active Educational Interpreter and when people complement my skills they actually complementing Melissa! I would highly recommend taking lessons with her.

I took my first lesson with Melissa today, and she was patient, supportive, affirming, and fun to work with. Looking forward to continuing!

I am deaf!  This is my language. I am able to paint pictures of vivid color and meaning with my hand

American Sign Language

I'm Deaf and ASL is my primary language. I have tutored many people in learning Deaf culture. I also have experience in tactile with Deaf Blind and talking to those who are Deaf with low vision.

I love helping people learn about the Deaf community and teach them to be able to communicate with those who are Deaf. I look forward to working with you. American Sign Language is a visual language. The shape, placement and movements all are needed to convey information correctly. Also, as a Deaf person I am a part of learning and this is an integral part of learning asl as well.

I have spent my whole life teaching people how to communicate with me and others who are Deaf.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact me. I'm look forward to meet you!

I loved the patience she had me in my pronunciation and mistakes, I loved the class <3

One of the best instructors. Helen is really genuine and makes you feel very comfortable. She is quick to calibrate your skill level and accommodates to the purpose you want to learn the language (in my case French)

So nice! Super patient with me. Can't wait for the next lesson!

I've been teaching French for 14 years and my students have gone on to develop a deep love of French

French

Hi, there! My name is Helen and I can't wait to meet you! I've been teaching private lessons since 2009 and have loved helping my students to speak a new language, to successfully pass their exams, and to increase their language confidence. 

I grew up in Eastern Ukraine and I earned a Master’s degree in French language and literature in 2010. I'm a patient and easy going person and my teaching methods always depend on student’s age and language needs. I look forward helping you to reach your goals!

Colin does a great job of teaching in a very engaging way while also teaching in a way that is very easy to understand.

I feared my daughter would not speak to me for days after suggesting she get tutored in geometry to prepare for the upcoming year.  Colin has succeeded in engaging her all while keeping it palatable for a 12-13 yr old. Colin is flexible and a good communicator concerning scheduling as well.

I have been helping others learn math for seven years and I enjoy watching it click for others just 

Math

Hello there! My name is Colin, and I have seven years of experience tutoring math and science. I am a PhD candidate in the UC Berkeley-UC San Francisco joint bioengineering program. My strong background in STEM qualifies me to tutor math and science up through lower-division college courses. Aside from my academic qualifications, I believe that it is my genuine passion for math and science that makes me an effective tutor for students of all learning styles.  

As a tutor, my goal is not to impress students with how much I know. Rather, my goal is to show my students how easily math and science concepts can come to them when they are presented the material in a straightforward way. The late physicist, Richard Feynman, posited that the ability to explain complicated ideas in a simple manner is the true mark of understanding. I agree with this assertion, and I make it my goal each tutoring session to explain even the most complex phenomena in a simple way, so that my student will come away from the lesson with confidence that they grasped the information. Additionally, I emphasize a strong understanding of the fundamentals, because both math and science are heavily inductive disciplines; many of the theorems and laws are founded on other, more fundamental principles. I have personally experienced the discouragement of trying to learn material that is beyond my level of preparedness, and so I can empathize with students who are in that boat. Fortunately, I have learned that the remedy is always a return to, and a strengthening of, the basics. That is the approach I take with students who find themselves struggling in a course. 

My online teaching platform is a “black board” drawing program that my students can follow along with as I explain concepts and solve problems. I simply share my screen with them during the session, and at the end, I take a screenshot of the notes and email it to my students for their reference. I hope this brief explanation of my qualifications and teaching style has provided a clear image of what you can expect from me as your tutor. I am eager to hear from you and help you succeed in your academic goals!

I am learning how to write better songs that take my creative potential higher and leave me much more satisfied with my work!

Very skilled, helpful, and easy to work with! Highly recommend!

Piano

Tatiana is a highly qualified teacher with 10+ years of teaching experience and 25+  years in the classical music profession. Tatiana first started her musical journey at the age of 7, when she came to her first piano lesson, and ever since that auspicious day music has not left her life. She would study piano until the age of 17 in a general music school in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. She was always praised by her teachers for her great talent at the piano. Upon graduating from the general music school, she would take a step back from pursuing music for a few years, and go on to obtain her Bachelor's degree in Optical Physics.  But, realizing, that her passion, indeed, lay in music, she returned to her pursuit of becoming a professional musician by beginning private lessons in Opera Singing from a wonderful Russian opera singer,with whom she studied for almost 10 years, before transferring from taking private lessons to beginning her Bachelors degree in Music (Piano and Singing) from the "Leningrad State University named after A. S. Pushkin" in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. She finished her degree from this University in June of 2020. 

But for Tatiana getting a music degree was not enough: she also wanted to learn how to give the best possible experience to children in their music lessons, and so, while she was working for her BM, she also enrolled in a 4 year program at the "Saint Petersburg College of music pedagogy ", where she went through extremely rigorous training on working with kids, specifically. Teaching piano, singing, and group genre music classes to children aged 3+. During the 4 year program she had the opportunity to work with children in numerous schools and kindergartens across the city under the guidance of very experienced teachers and pedagogues, almost daily. 

Tatiana is a wonderfully kind, patient, but more than anything extremely qualified teacher. She will with certainty teach your child how to excel at the piano, but at the same time to enjoy, and look forward to their lessons. 
Tatiana is currently actively teaching piano and working towards her Master's degree in Music, which she will have finished by September 2022. 

Tatiana strives for excellence in her lessons, making sure that she teaches her students immaculate technique and musical expression. But at the same time she does her best to keep lessons fun, and light; and to ensure that students are enjoying their musical experience.

Sewing

I am a Fashion Designer/Instructor and former Social Worker, who's very passionate about teaching Fashion and Embroidery. I'm always excited about helping students build skills gradually, from a complete Beginner, through Advanced levels.  
Also, I am one of the few teachers in the country who teaches the exclusive "Freehand" Drafting and sewing  (i.e. sewing without commercial pattern).  I also teach sewing with pattern. 
As a social worker, I taught participants in a homeless shelter, how to make various items geared towards independent living. For 11years now, I've been teaching in the tri-state area where patrons sign up for group sewing lessons as well as private lessons. 
I teach Garment cutting and construction, Pattern drafting, Alterations, Home décor items, and various sewing projects. With patience, I guide students to create a Scrapbook. This is a Binder full of samples, that capture important sewing skills for future reference. 
I am happy to help you navigate your sewing aspirations and goals when you register. Thanks.

I am a Spanish Language Consultant

I am a concierge tutor meaning that I make every meeting personalized for you. Everyone learns a language differently. For some they just want to speak. For others they want to learn to read or write. And some want to do it all. Either way I will do everything in my power to assure that happens. 

Where did I learn Spanish? 
I took it in high school like all of us and failed out in the second year. Then seven years later I took a class in Bellevue College and got the best grade in the class. Soon after the class finished I moved to Bogotá, Colombia for a year and half where I really improved my level to near native status. When I was a kid in high school I did not see how cool it is to be able to speak another language nor did I care. However, now it was a defining point in my life and something that no one can take away from me. 

My schedule is also very flexible giving you plenty of freedom over when to meet. 

I am connected to a network of native speakers who are all my very close friends who can be included in the sessions when the time is right or whenever you may like. 

I have been a Spanish Consultant since 2011 and love doing it. I really get fired up when students begin to take off on their own with the language with less and less of my help. 

I don't think you will find a more passionate tutor.

Students who will succeed with me can be of any age but should have these traits if they wish to excel:
Discipline
Not afraid to make mistakes
Positive attitudes 
Open mind 
Willingness to think outside of the box

Thank you and have a beautiful day now

Bill has helped me build a foundation with guitar playing with understanding the fretboard to building chords anywhere on the fretboard. Bill has also helped me with my rhythm and incorporating building chords and learning scales. Bill has challenged me and simultaneously been flexible with my schedule. He has made guitar-playing fun and inspired me to learn more and to challenge myself.

Bill is a great teacher and has worked with my limited availability. I recommend Bill to anyone, especially someone like me who is convinced that I can no longer learn an instrument. He is patient and has a plethora of knowledge!

Bill is an great instructor.  He’s friendly, very knowledgeable and very patient.  His experience really shows in the way he structures lessons and can zero in on my mistakes then tell me what I need to correct.  Highly recommended.

Talented teachers are rare. Like a great coach i  sports... the coach doesn’t need to be the top athlete in his field to know how to teach each team member to hone  their best abilities, he just has to know and see how to teach you how to get there. Being an outstanding teacher is a great talent all in itself... and that is Jesse. He has that quality and ability to lead, focus and take you where you want to go.

I'm currently not taking beginner students for bass, drums, piano, and ukulele or children under 10 years old. I highly recommend my studio partner Melissa though. Please check out her profile:

My Background

I've been playing with classical ensembles and rock bands since 2001. Even though I started on classical trombone and rock guitar, I have come to expand my repertoire to a variety of instruments and genres. During my time in college I performed with the University choir, orchestra, and band. I also have organized, wrote/arranged for, and performed with a variety of bands in my home state of New Mexico, as well as Japan, and the San Francisco Bay Area.


Since 2006 I have been an active teacher. This profession has taken me everywhere from working with classical guitar classes in New Mexico high schools to Elementary students in Japan to a variety of private students of various musical instruments and genres everywhere I've been. Since relocating to the Bay Area in 2010, I've had the pleasure of working with lots of great students from kids to adults with a wide range of ambitions. Since 2012 I've been running my own full time studio.


Philosophy of Learning

Lessons are generally designed to work towards giving students the tools to accomplish their goals and become increasingly independent over time. While all students will study similar fundamentals regarding technique, theory, and performance, every lesson is as different as every person. What kind of music do you want to make? I'll tell you what you need to do to get there, and help you take the steps to achieve your aspirations. It's really important to know though that everyone makes their own experience. The process of learning music involves you learning as much about your own mind and body as it does any external concepts, so please keep in mind only you can move yourself forward. 


I also love to help students put together a song, record, and produce it for them so that they can have a recording to share with their friends and family.


I also hold events for my students. (Check out our pictures and videos below!)
Younger students have opportunities to perform for friends and family at my studio every few months. Adult students also occasionally have events where they get a chance to get together and play music as well. 



Aside from in-studio lessons, students also have the option to sign up for online lessons via Zoom or the TakeLessons Classroom feature.
(*Online lessons offered during different times than in-studio lessons.)

*Unfortunately due to scheduling issues, I'm not currently accepting students for bi-weekly lessons. I can do regular weekly lessons, or occasional drop-in lessons, but bi-weekly appointments make it really hard for me to give the best scheduled times to my existing weekly students. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.


My studio is equipped with:

*Music Stands

*A P.A. System

*Vocal and instrument microphones

*Guitars, Basses, Ukulele, Banjos, etc

*Two guitar amps and a bass amp

*Various percussion including a fully equipped acoustic drum set

*An electric piano console and Yamaha organ

*A MicroKorg Synthesizer

*A Tuba, Trombone, Cornet, Saxophone, and Flute

*An extensive physical and virtual music library

*A recording system that students are not only welcome to use but encouraged to
