About

Hello! I'm currently accepting homeschooled students! I've been tutoring for more than 18 years with 4 years teaching at a small private school in Dickinson (2015-2019). I also am currently teaching Math at a hybrid homeschool in Webster. I can travel to you, or we can meet a public venue like a library, so you don't have to worry about making the trip to a tutoring center. My hourly rate is a result of being extremely flexible with your schedule, excellent quality tutoring, and always keeping communication open. I can also teach the piano to students! I graduated from University of St. Thomas in Houston with a B.A. in Music. I currently have about 25 piano students, and I always am looking for more! Homeschool students are also welcome. I organize piano recitals for them twice a year at College of the Mainland in Texas City (once around June and once around early December) so that they may show off what they have learned. I certainly hope that any students I get will benefit greatly from me. I hope to hear from you soon!

Jimmy is patient when working with our six-year-old granddaughter. Her pace of learning is further ahead of what I imagined she would be.

Jimmy is fantastic! He is very punctual and responsive to any requests that I might have. My daughter looks forward to her piano lessons and is learning a lot in regards to theory and application. Thanks Jimmy! We can’t wait for the Winter Recital.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
While it should be listed on my profile, Thumbtack seems to not list my pricing at random times. I charge $80/hr for piano lessons (so, $40 for a 30 min lesson, etc.), and I charge $50/hr for math tutoring and chess lessons.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Most of the tutoring requests that I get are middle school and high school students, though I welcome students of any age.
