We hired Ms. Kara to tutor our son in math, and she has boosted his confidence and grades by really breaking down sixth-grade math. As a result, his other scores also increased in his language arts, science, and history classes. It was a total confidence boost, and now he really enjoys math. We are still working with Ms. Kara, and next they are taking on 7th-grade math. Thank you, Ms. Kara!

Kara is a great piano teacher. She is very patient with my 15 year old who has autism. She explains things very well to him, and he has come so far in two years with his piano! He enjoys learning new piano tunes, and playing piano for family and friends. He spends his free time whistling his favorite show tunes. When he learns these tunes in piano, he is so proud of himself!

Cara is a wonderful piano teacher! I hired her to teach my 5 yr old son pianolessons. She was very prompt in responding to my calls and text messages. Since my son is still very young, Cara was able to make the lessons fun and age appropriate! She is very good at cheering my son and getting him to follow instructions in a very easy way. Cara also provides great recommendations and suggestions on how to practice at home. My son had warmed up to her quickly and we feel so comfortable having her around. Cara gave us a quick sample on how she plays the piano and she played beautifully! Makes me want to enroll myself! Haha! Also we have a digital piano and she was able to adjust playing it quickly. She is always on time and she actually takes additional time to make sure my son and I understands the process and expectations. Definitely so much worth it hiring her! I highly recommend Cara!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Business costs can affect my estimate as well as special needs such as gas pricing for long drives. I’ve actually only once had to raise my prices by few dollars because it was a distant location and unique circumstances.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Do a telephone assessment first. Secondly, meet with the child or adult and plan lessons and curriculum tailored specifically to their needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Certified Educational Consultant. Continual courses or directed reading on how to best teach subjects.
