About Theo

Bio

Hello! My name is Theo and I have been tutoring students in SAT I, SAT II, ACT, GRE, AP and college math, music, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint for over 10 years.

I graduated with distinction from Stanford University with a BS in Civil Engineering, and I've spent the last 5 years managing projects for startups and Fortune 500 companies. As a tutor, I've helped many high school students to become more confident in STEM subjects, ace their standardized tests, and feel empowered...

Hello! My name is Theo and I have been tutoring students in SAT I, SAT II, ACT, GRE, AP and college math, music, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint for over 10 years.

I graduated with distinction from Stanford University with a BS in Civil Engineering, and I've spent the last 5 years managing projects for startups and Fortune 500 companies. As a tutor, I've helped many high school students to become more confident in STEM subjects, ace their standardized tests, and feel empowered in the college application process.

As well, I am an experienced piano teacher and performer of both classical and jazz music. I love sharing my passion for music - not just the technique or the performances, but the theory, the musicality, and the fun of it. I focus heavily on sight reading, ear training, and improvisation - all key skills to become a well-rounded musician.

Finally, for working professionals seeking to save time or advance in their careers, I offer targeted tutoring for Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Powerpoint.

During my teaching career, I have continued to perform in classical and jazz music festivals as a soloist, band member, arranger, and accompanist. For classical curriculum, I follow the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) guidelines, which provide a graduated approach to playing and learning theory culminating in the ARCT designation.
