Hi! I'm Kye (they/them). Subjects I tutor include Organic Chemistry, Math (elementary to Calculus), Piano, and Guitar.

My approach consists of providing concrete, bite-sized lessons and actionable steps for my students to practice. I ask guiding questions to encourage students to come to an understanding on their own. I always leave space for their questions or concerns. Through clear explanations, enthusiasm for learning, and adaptable teaching strategies, I help my students achieve their goals.

I found my passion for tutoring during high school, when I tutored 300+ hours in math, English/Writing, Mandarin Chinese, piano, and music theory to children ages 5-12. In addition, I started a piano lesson business where I provided one-on-one lessons for local neighborhood kids. Since then, I've tutored 70+ students.

I am a classical and jazz pianist with over 15 years of playing experience and nearly 2 years of teaching experience. I enjoy teaching all ages (no one is ever "too old" to learn an instrument!). During lessons, I get to know my student's goals, design a practice plan, and check in regularly to see what's working and what's not. Performance-wise, my experiences include performing Schumann's Piano Concerto in A Minor with an orchestra at Music Fest Perugia, playing with my local youth symphony orchestra, and jamming with jazz combos throughout high school and university.

I am a guitarist who loves jazz and classical guitar. My experiences include taking lessons with the amazing guitar professors at my university, performing with jazz ensembles at my university, and picking up gigs where I accompany my classmates. Having been self-taught for most of my guitar journey, I have gathered a library of great books and videos that I'd love to share.
