Dr. Beth helped with a college admissions essay
Dr. Beth has great insight. She assisted my son with a college admissions essay specific to music education. Dr. Beth had really great feedback for him and helped tailor his essay to make it more impactful. She gave him specific examples and details on how to edit his essay. We really appreciate her help!

Knowledgable, patient, and helpful tutor
Over our last couple of meetings, Dr. Beth and I have discussed 7th chords, part writing, and figured bass as part of the Theory II curriculum. She has been extremely helpful, and is able to break down and explain the concepts in a simple and digestible fashion. I look forward to working with her more in the future.

Exceptional Guidance
My first session with Dr. Beth S. was incredibly reassuring and helpful. As an international student, I particularly appreciated her patience and attentiveness. She carefully listened to my concerns and provided tailored advice to address the unique challenges of applying to colleges. Dr. Beth’s supportive approach has already made a significant difference, and I look forward to continuing to work with her. I highly recommend her to any student seeking comprehensive and empathetic college counseling.

The best tutor
She has helped me to understand concepts I was having trouble with and pass my class. I was really struggling but she went above and beyond to meet with me on short notice and teach me in a way that worked in my brain.

Knowledgable and wonderful tutor!
I met with Dr. Beth to do some last minute catch up on some assignments and she was so helpful! I learned more in one hour of her tutoring session than I did in my entire collegiate level Theory III class. I have a tough time understanding theory just because my brain doesn't always work that way but she helped to make the material very approachable for me. I'm looking forward to studying with her on a weekly basis to really cement the materials into my brain. She is the kind, and knowledgable tutor you're looking for to bridge those gaps in theory!

Knowledgeable, thorough, enthusiastic tutor
I sought an experienced tutor for my daughter, who has developed some aperture issues, and was discouraged by this. I wanted to ensure that I chose someone experienced and highly recommended. Dr. Beth was incredible. Her ability to provide visual examples to help my daughter understand the why behind the issues she was having, helped her make measurable improvements and a massive boost of confidence in just one session. Dr. Beth has a great way of providing a variety of prompts to accommodate learning styles while encouraging self-analysis to bridge the cause and effect of breath and physical structure. My daughter can take what she has learned to problem-solve when she is playing, which is such a gift.

Got plenty of value, absolutely recommend
I came into our College Counseling session unsure and hesitant, with tons of questions and uncertainties regarding my direction after high school. Dr. Beth guided me, consulted me and made me feel a lot more confident and better about my chances with different universities and their programs, as well as providing me with plenty of advice and value from just a 1-hour session. She is also very knowledgeable about College Counseling, institutions, and can provide you a lot of insight.
