I am extremely pleased wth my sons results. After his sessions with Dr. Dubler, he is a much more confident young man! He had taken the test twice and did not perform well at all. We just received his results and were amazed at his success. My son increased reading by over 160 points and math by 100 points. We are thrilled. I can't say enough about the services received and the life long effects it will have on my son . Thanks for everything!

My 5 year old is interested in learning the violin. I loved music growing up so wanted someone who would encourage her but be patient and start slowly. He is calm, clearly adores music and is slowly having my daughter embrace the instrument and all thay studying music encompasses. We have had 3 lessons so far but she is very keen, already progressing bit by bit, and is receiving the encouragement she needs. A wonderful calm and gentle mentor. I hope he persists and she remains so enthusiastic.

This man is an absolute legend. You could walk up to Rick knowing nothing about drums and walk away playing rattamatatamaques at 150 bpm no problem. He’s insanely dedicated and passionate about what he does and always makes sure you’re having a good time doin what you’re doin. He might call you a fish or a bonehead sometimes but it’s all outa love, and everything like that🤪. He’s the best, for sure.
