Introduction
Hello!
I'm currently accepting homeschooled students! I've been tutoring for more than 16 years with 4 years teaching at a small private school in Dickinson (2015-2019). 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. Unlike other companies and teachers, no minimum amount of teaching/tutoring is required per semester, nor is there a limit on cancellations as long as I know beforehand.
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 30 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 in the summer and once in the winter) 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!

Mr. Jimmy was a phenomenal chess tutor for my 7 year old son! He was always on time and really made it easy for my son to grasp. He was very patient even when my son got a little antsy. I would highly recommend him if you or your little one may be looking to learn chess!!! Also my son placed 2nd in a chess tournament thanks to him!
