Meet our team! Our tutors, music instructors, test prep instructors, specialists and writers come from diverse backgrounds, have a multitude of skills, and are experts in the areas they tutor or their instrument. All of our instructors are full-time professionals and many of them are current teachers and hold at least a Bachelor’s Degree. They are required to go through an intense screening process that involves a current background check. For the tutoring sessions, our instructors will either travel to your home or meet at a local library. All music lessons do take place in the comfort of your own home.
