    Hi! I've been teaching all sorts of subjects all over the world for the last decade (and some change), and I'm looking forward to connecting with -you- (or your mom/dad/dogs/cats/washcloth--whomever wants to study! ^^)! I'm very flexible in terms of what's taught and like to adjust my lessons to meet the goals, needs, and preferences of students. I've taught: - Ukulele Lessons - Guitar Lessons - Voice Lessons - ESL Lessons (Yonsei University and Gangneung Wonju University as well as Berlitz in Korea) - 5th through 8th grade science - English/Grammar/Creative Writing - Zoology for kids at a zoo! I have a BA in Music (Vocal Performance) and am currently studying biology and en route to an MS in Evolutionary Biology! (I also work at a zoo! ^^) And...I used to street perform ukulele regularly abroad! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, comments, pies-you-want-to-throw; I'm game for all of it! Looking forward to hearing from you! - Jake

    We really enjoy having Jake as our instructor. He teaches in a way that encourages my children to love learning a new instrument and the whole family gets enjoy music through the lesson. Thank you Jake!

    We really enjoyed have Jake over for our 5 year old’s first lesson tonight! He seems very flexible, fun, easygoing and it looks like he is great at connecting with kids. We really look forward to future lessons with him!
