This review is from a student I tutored in Algebra, but you can still get a sense of what working with me is like. —-————————————- A Truly Exceptional Math Tutor I cannot say enough wonderful things about Doug and his tutoring style. From the very first session, it was clear that he not only has a deep mastery of mathematics but also a true passion and talent for teaching. He has an incredible ability to break down complex concepts into easy-to-understand explanations, making even the most challenging topics approachable. What truly sets Doug apart is his genuine care for his students. He is always available for extra help, whether during office hours or via email, and he went above and beyond to ensure that I had the support I need to succeed. His patience, encouragement, and enthusiasm creates a welcoming learning environment where I feel comfortable asking questions and pushing myself to improve. Thanks to Doug, I not only gained a stronger understanding of math but also a newfound confidence in my abilities. I highly recommend Doug to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and inspiring tutor.

About your guitar coach

With nearly four decades of guitar playing, I offer comprehensive guitar instruction tailored to beginning guitarists. My approach blends technical proficiency with a fun learning environment, fostering a deep appreciation for the instrument and our emotional response to music. No reading music! Instead, I'll teach you the basics of music theory and how the guitar works. Once you learn keys, chords, and chord relationships, the sky's the limit. Let's unlock your musical potential together.
