As a total…read morebeginner, I only had 5 lessons so far, but I'm already playing Isn't She Lovely from Stevie Wonder(my favorite song). I thought practicing might be boring but now I'm practicing a lot and really enjoy it! Pretty much because I can make surprising progress under Vivi's guidance, that makes me confident and motivated. Vivi has taught me the elements of good form, techniques to learn new music more efficiently, and given students the opportunity to perform in studio classes and recitals. Working with Vivi results in a well rounded experience. Although the transit is long, I already added one more session each week. It's absolutely worthy. I am so happy I found Vivi :)

I've had the great pleasure of studying with Claudia for the past four years and cannot recommend…read moreher enough! After receiving a BA from a liberal arts university, she helped me prepared a successful conservatory audition for my Masters in Vocal Performance. Even though I left New York I continued to take lessons with her via Skype throughout my graduate school applications process which has been such a valuable tool. Claudia is incredibly knowledgeable about the mechanics of the voice in addition to the classical music industry. A frequent contributor to Classical Singer Magazine (you can check out her articles there or on her blog!), she's an amazing resource on all things voice related and has taught me to better understand my instrument. Best advice would be to go in for an initial class - you won't regret it!

I sought out this company on advice from a friend. Although at first intimidated by the hourly…read moreprices, Andrew let me know the other tutor, Luciano, had a lower hourly rate. Andrew is based in New York and Luciano is based in Canada, but working with Luciano online is very easy. Luciano is really organized and knows his stuff. He also has tips and test strategies for you, aside from just content. I had taken Manhattan GMAT in person classes before, and although they were a helpful grounding, it's aimed to the masses, which means they teach you to get a good score, but not great. Getting to a great, competitive score, is what a tutor can help you with. But you still need to do the work! Consistent daily studying, and carving out QUALITY studying, is crucial. I had just about one month to kick up my test score, by at least 40 points. My score had stalled in the mid-600's and I didn't know what else to do. I also wasn't really holding myself accountable to myself, in terms of consistent quality studying, and having a tutor was really helpful in forcing me to stay accountable to another person. Plus, I was willing to take the plunge (and the cost) to improve my score. Both Luciano and Andrew are really busy so finding a tutoring time slot is tough! Definitely give yourself enough time to work with the tutor; don't be like me and give yourself only a month. Honestly, 2-3 months of real devoted weekly sessions will do wonders for your score. Would definitely recommend!! 5/5

Not worth the large amount that they charge at all. Spent about 3 months with Atlantic, and my…read morescore dropped 40 points from my previous test. When I reached back out, I got limited responses. I've worked with a few tutors, and this is by far the worst. Save your money and look for a service that will genuinely look out for you.

I've taken lessons with Travis both in person and over zoom and both are great, effective experiences.

Since working with Swiss from February 2017 I have seen an incredible increase in her skills. She is an advanced level drummer BUT Swiss has taken her drum skills and talent to the next phase. Swiss Chris focuses on the foundation of drumming while at the same time pushes her skill with advanced groove and chops technique. Swiss Chris has an immense knowledge of all styles of music and is personally skilled at drumming and playing percussion for a variety of music styles. Swiss' experience makes him the perfect music educator for any student that appreciates learning about various genres and cultural influences. Swiss is a professional and knows how to push and inspire to get the best results from my artist. I have seen him mentor not only my client but other drummers in the rehearsal studio and in his workshops. I have watched him approach each student a little differently to connect with their individual learning style. Swiss is also a mentor for anyone wanting to make music a fulltime career. He personally works in the industry and I've seen him perform at his own shows, he works with big artists, he is a producer and a music director. He has a wealth of knowledge and insight for those that may be stuck on how to maximize their career as a working musician. I'm so glad I found him and I highly recommend Swiss Chris as a drum and percussion coach.

She provided extremely helpful feedback and perspectives, and used a strengths-based approach to help our daughter meet her goals. Their sessions were very productive, and the tutor provided an in-depth summary and analysis after each one so that my husband and I could continue to support our daughter more effectively than before we started tutoring. Our tutor was kind, thoughtful, and reliable, with a warm and positive energy.
