Perhaps what I most appreciate about Carissa is that she’s not only been a good math tutor, but she gets along amazingly with my 15-year-old-grandson. He can be in a negative space when I pick him up from school, and he clearly perks up when he and Carissa are working together – I hear them laugh together often. There doesn’t seem to be any ‘superiority’ in the relationship although it’s clear that she’s won the respect of my grandson. Other things I also appreciate: she’s been highly reliable; she’s made every effort to accommodate and flex to meet our needs relative to schedules; she’s researched and recommended helpful resources; she’s been responsive when I’ve sent her messages; she’s been good about leeting us know if there a reason she needs to miss a session – and she always tries to make it up; she’s been willing to communicate with my grandson’s math teacher at school; and I should not fail to mention that I think her rates are quite reasonable. Carissa is able to be an effective tutor without standing on formality, and that not the impression I got from other math tutors I initially considered. I truly ENJOY seeing her every week, and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

My husband and I have enjoyed ukulele lessons with Jeff Saxon for almost three years now, starting with in-person lessons, then successfully switching to online ( Zoom) lessons during the pandemic. In our 70’s now, never having learned a musical instrument, we considered ourselves a challenge. But Jeff is so highly skilled as a musician, composer and teacher that we not only learned a lot, but had fun doing it. Accomplished and flexible in many styles of music,Jeff encourages creativity and self-expression for all his students, regardless of their age or skill level. With Jeff, you can go as advanced or as basic as as you want. With him, it’s not one size fits all. He is great at finding music that fits our wide-ranging tastes, then he works with the music if necessary to make it playable for our skill level, which is getting better and better. Jeff is even helpful now with our attempts at song writing. The guy is an amazing teacher. So glad we found him!

MadamL is such a encouraging wonderful person! This is my first time taking singing lessons and singing solo in front of someone and she is so kind and encouraging. I have learned so much and I recommend her to anyone who is afraid to sing in front of another person. She has also found some weak areas that I was completely blind to in my voice. We are working on those areas together and it’s wild to actually see improvement in your own voice! Highly recommended for any new singers!
