About Meghan


Bio

Hello! My name is Meghan Lim and I'm a sophomore at Rice University. I started tutoring as a volunteer mentor in my high school chapter's National Honor Society, but I enjoyed it so much that I started this business to shape my own vision of what a tutoring model should be for students in my community. After three years, I have guided 40+ students to effectively reach their goals with a multitude of practice strategies and support methods. I strive to teach students of all ages with patience...

Hello! My name is Meghan Lim and I'm a sophomore at Rice University. I started tutoring as a volunteer mentor in my high school chapter's National Honor Society, but I enjoyed it so much that I started this business to shape my own vision of what a tutoring model should be for students in my community. After three years, I have guided 40+ students to effectively reach their goals with a multitude of practice strategies and support methods. I strive to teach students of all ages with patience and encouragement in a creative, engaging manner.

As a young adult, I believe younger piano students love working with me, and I can better relate to and inform younger students in their high school classes and the competitive college process from my own recent experiences. My goal is to approach teaching with enthusiasm and to foster a positive mindset within my students. From my experience, self-limiting beliefs are one of the easiest, yet most imposing barriers to overcome to achieve success. Particularly among young students, I want to instill confidence that they are capable of overcoming challenges. "I can't" doesn't exist in my books.

I have a long history of teaching and helping others through community service and I specialize in teaching piano (beginner & intermediate) and standardized tests (SAT, PSAT, ASVAB). I am also comfortable preparing students for rigorous AP classes after taking 14 in high school. My SAT was 1510 and my ASVAB test was a 96, both in the 99th percentile. Piano has been a mainstay and I have loved playing it for 11 years now. I'm classically trained and have consistently won awards at state solo and concerto piano contests and competitions (TMTA, UIL, NFMC). Additionally, in 2018 I performed at the Winners' Recital at Carnegie Hall and earned 1st with Honors in the annual Sonatina and Sonata International Youth Piano Competition.

I am open to virtual or in-person arrangements to meet. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions and I am excited to meet you!

The best!

Meghan is so knowledgeable about music and theory, I have really learned a lot and she's a great teacher! I feel that I have learned more from her than past teachers!

Ashley, 3 lessons with Meghan

Patient and kind

Meghan taught my daughter piano with patience and kindness. They are just getting to know each other's style. We hope to continue lessons with Meghan weekly. She was knowledgeable and took the time to walk my daughter through as few notes and gave her tips.

Ana, 7 lessons with Meghan

Very patient and highly skilled

My 7 year old grand daughter and I experienced the best first piano lesson. We learned so much our white keys for both left and right hand, rhythm, length of notes and more. Meghan's unique memory exercises resulted in our playing our first song before the end of our 1 hour class. Very impressive and cannot wait for our next class.

Great teacher!

Meghan is a great instructor, in just our first lesson she had so much insight to how I was playing, from my posture and my body to my finger placement and how I hold my hands. I had some thoughts about what I want to accomplish, but she added so much to the list that wasn't on my radar at all! She is friendly and easy to relate to and clearly very talented, I would recommend to anyone!

Helpful and patient tutor

Meghan is great! My pre-teen son has anxiety, but Meghan had the requisite skill set to teach him with patience and kindness. He really liked her, and I'm planning to request lessons for my even younger child as a result. The first lesson focused on learning scales for the left and right hand, note names and octaves, fingering for the scales, and learning "Hot Cross Buns" :D Following the lesson, and upon my request, she provided recommendations for a book series for both of my children and online resources, as well as a general daily homework plan. She also managed to help me to get him to trim his nails; he wanted the proper pianist nails after all <3.
