Do you have a student who is behind in class?
Is help needed with elementary, middle or high school math (including algebra I, algebra II, geometry, and trigonometry)?
Is test prep needed for tests such as standardized grade-level advancement tests, Regents, SATs or the GED?
Do you have a student whose progress in reading is slower than expected or uneven with unexpected weaknesses, such as reading comprehension?
Do you have a student who has difficulties with writing such as generating or getting ideas onto paper, organizing writing and grammatical problems?
Do you have a student whose life you would like to enrich with piano lessons?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, I can help. I have nine and a half years experience tutoring and giving piano lessons in both the New York City Public School system and privately as well as a degree in Education from Indiana University. Whether a student needs to learn addition or upper level algebra, basic reading skills or SAT level English, I can help. I will methodically and patiently work step by step to simplify schoolwork. I instruct students ranging from pre-K to adult.

I offer the following:
Specialized program for students with learning differences.
Tutoring for home-schooled individuals.
Enrichment instruction for parents who feel that average is just not enough.

In addition to tutoring, I also give piano lessons and can help students understand music theory. Whether the student is a beginner or advanced, six years old or seventy-six years old, I can help the student reach his or her musical goals. I studied piano at Indiana University with Luba Edlina Dubinsky, member of the Borodin Trio and have worked with students of all ages and ability levels.

Convenient day, after-school, evening and weekend appointments are available.

I look forward to hearing from you and I wish the very best for you in your studies!

Excellent!

Jake is punctual, patient, and thorough. Our daughter's confidence is returning and she is actually understanding the material thanks to Jake's steady and comprehensive teaching each week.

Thorough

Jake is Great!. He has been teaching my daughter for about 4 years now. She has learned to read music and is more confident playing the piano. She is able to understand the material because he takes his time and is very patient. He is punctual and thorough. I highly recommend Jake!.

Very patient

Jake has been teaching my children ages 6 and 8 piano for over a year now. He is good with my kids - just the right amount of fun and strictness mixed into each lesson. He put on an awesome recital for all his pupils last year which my children really enjoyed working towards. I can recommend Jake!
