Schedule a lesson
Hour-long sessions are standard, but I also offer 30 min/45 min lessons for younger students. Private and group lessons available; discounts offered if more than one student per household receives tutoring. I teach both in-person and online lessons; for in-person, I teach out of my in-home studio, but I am happy to commute to your house for an additional fee. Education equity is of the utmost importance to me - if finances prove to be an issue, please get in touch with me so we can work something out.
