"Hello! My name is David, and I am a seasoned private instructor with a background in music performance, student success, and public speaking. I graduated from SUNY Potsdam with a degree in Music Business, and have recently graduated from Northern Illinois University with a master's degree in Music Performance.

As a former private music instructor, I implemented my positive reinforcement techniques with my students. My supportive 1:1 environment leads students to achieving their goals, such as earning high grades in school and placing well in various state music education competitions.

My extensive background as a performer and teacher have led me to a career in college admission and student success. I have tutored students ranging in life stage from middle to high school to adults in multiple areas such as music, public performance, and public speaking.

I center you, the student in all teaching practices. I want you to succeed in the way only you know how to, by being your unique self! Whether you would like a one-time coaching on public speaking to master that presentation you have to give, or maybe you would like to set up a consistent schedule, I am here to meet your needs. Thank you so much, and I am looking forward to working with you!" less...
