What can I say? Dave Previ is a great guy, a skilled drummer, and a sensitive and intuitive…read moreteacher. My son has been studying with Dave for the past 2+ years and we have seen an enormous and meaningful improvement in his playing and in his overall confidence. Dave's lessons strike the right mix of rudiments and fun - each semester focuses on the mastery of a snare drum exercise paired with a fun cover sing of the kid's choice. The semester culminates in a "gig" where the students demonstrate their snare exercise and then hop behind the kit to play through their cover song with a couple of pro-level musicians. The room is full of love and support from all the peers and parents and it never fails to move me to tears. Huge thanks to Dave for setting our son on the path.

Dave Previ is absolutely one of the best drum teachers in all of New York City. He's worked with my…read moreson for many years, and has turned him into an incredible drummer at a young age. It's not just that Dave has mad chops and skills, it's that his passion for drums is truly infectious. He's patient and is constantly pushing my son into new frontiers, Jazz, funk, Latin, rock, blues... He covers every style. An all around amazing human-being and a terrific friend to our family, as well. I could offer a stronger recommendation...

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

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 studied puppet construction with Roberto, and learned a lot from his instruction. I was able to…read moresupplement some of my existing skills and get good practice and introduction to new skills, too. This is everything from pattern making, creating foam forms and molds, dying antron fleece, making rods, and so much more. I learned so much from this class, and was able to carry that into my own puppet building practice, and into other classes to really help me excel. I remember in one of our classes, there was a young student with special needs who needed special attention. It struck me how empathetic he was when he worked with that student that I never forgot (even if the student only wanted to voice the puppets and not build them!) He cares so much about what he does, and about his students, it's worth it.

Roberto has given me many excuses and at first I was understanding but now I feel as though I have been scammed. It is very unprofessional the way my situation has been handled.

I have a day job and play piano as my hobby and Dr. Zhang was able to adapt her teaching method to my needs, and I learn a new piece of music every week. Dr. Zhang is a very dedicated and engaging professor, and has also taught me a lot in the areas of ear training and music theory. My relative pitch abilities have improved a lot, and I am now able to sing an A without any reference pitch. Dr. Zhang's studio is very conveniently located - next to all the subway lines by Barclays Center. Having graduated from some of the most prestigious schools in the world (Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing and University of Michigan, and Florida State University), she is definitely the most qualified piano professor in the area. You are taking private lessons with a true virtuoso. She also teaches kids too.

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 :)
