About
I am a high school student that has a lot of experience tutoring elementary and middle school students. Many of my previous students have had a lot of success with their classes or goals that they have wanted to achieve. As far as my musical career I have been trained classically and in musical theatre. I have been in a choir for nine years and have performed around the world, as well as places like Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. Singing is my passion and I love to help people learn it as beginners or help people who already sing get better at solo work. I also attend Stuyvesant High School in NYC, which is ranked #25 in the country. As a student I know how difficult it is to connect with your teachers or understand things from a textbook or if your teacher only explains it one way, and that understanding is what makes me so successful in helping my students understand things so easily.
I love helping other people understand things. As a student I know how difficult grasping concepts can be, and if I can help other students with that, that would be the greatest joy. I love both music and STEM, and being able to relay the little tips and tricks I'be learned from taking these classes is so fun. I love being able to see students use these skills to do well in their classes, on exams, or in auditions.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to get to know them and what they have liked and diskliked about previous teachers teaching habits. I like to figure out what they have current trouble with and what their goal for working with me is. If it's with younger students I like to incorporate small rewards for doing something. For example, playing a song they like at the end of a lesson or reading them a story. If it's with a music student I like to let them sing a song of their choice at least once every lesson to keep them engaged. Additionally, I like to be in touch with parents to maybe give better reward options such as a cookie or 10 extra minutes of TV time. I have found that rewarding students makes them more engaged and willing to learn.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have tutored students younger than me since sixth grade. I am a student at Stuyvesant High School, one of the most selective high schools in NYC. I have been trained in solo voice for 10 years and have won numerous competitions for classical solo voice such as the Prima Volta competition where I won first place. I have also had solos with my chorus where I performed a solo at Carnegie Hall. As far as academics I have a 4.0 GPA , and have taken numerous honors and AP classes.
