About
I have a profound passion for working with students. Since my middle school years, I have been engaged in tutoring young learners across various fields, including music, language, and academics, and I have continued this endeavor throughout my life. I am a professional guitarist currently majoring in performance guitar at the Musicians Institute. I possess the patience necessary to work effectively with children, and I firmly believe that the most effective teaching approach involves making the learning experience enjoyable. If you are my student, I look forward to fostering creativity and fun in our learning journey together.

I just had my first class with Candy this past week, and she already made me fell in love with electric guitar even more just with one class. She's very patient and attention to details, and will immediately let me know things that I can improve on, yet at the same time very encouraging as a teacher.
Can't wait to take more classes with her :)

I just had my first lesson with Candy. She was super friendly, made sure that I was comfortable, went at a pace that kept me on task and was super patient with me during my mistakes. I’ve waited my whole life to start to learn how to play, and I’m happy to be Candy’s student. I really look forward to my future lessons! Time to start practicing! Thanks Candy! 😊🎸

Candy/gen was very kind and very educational teaching about the importance and the style of playing guitar. She instructed me how to know finger placements and posture. I recommend her as a very good instructor to anyone.

Candy has been a wonderful teacher, she is punctual to zoom meetings, very responsive to messages, gives helpful feedback during lessons, and even records videos for me to look at in between lessons. Thank you!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I'm super flexible with prices, and I'm all about negotiation! I really enjoy sharing my music through performances and teaching, so I offer great discounts. My lessons are around $60 per hour, and for performances, the price ranges from $100 to $300, depending on the set list and how long it is.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Hi there! I’d love to introduce myself and get to know you better. When I’m teaching, I like to have a friendly chat to find out what you need and what you’re excited to learn. I always aim to make our learning sessions enjoyable while ensuring you make great progress with each lesson!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've got a bunch of fun guitar drills for shredding, improvisation, and rhythm exercises! Plus, I have some awesome books from Musicians Institute that I can share with you, packed with reference info on scales and chord shapes.
