ENGLISH-SPEAKING PIANO TUTOR
I teach adults of all levels!
I often mentor people who are just starting out, helping them develop their interest in the instrument and play the music they love.
A lot of students come in with anxiety about how good or fast they're going to be able to learn. I work to build a respectful, supportive environment where you feel comfortable developing and learning at your own pace.
For intermediate and advanced students, I teach with a particular focus on fundamental technique through études, and developing musicality.
Oftentimes, as hobbyists, we have holes from our early studies that prevent us from developing later in life. My aim is to help correct that. You should leave with renewed confidence to tackle pieces that have intimidated or eluded you in the past.
I hope to teach you soon!

Jack is an amazing piano teacher, with dedication and interest to nurture the students and make them feel empowered to learn and grow. Thank you!
I’m so lucky that I was able to have lessons with Jack during my time in Berlin! He creates such a supportive environment for learning — laid back and calm, yet totally professional. After years of me struggling independently with a few pieces, he was able to show me new ways of approaching the music that transformed even the hardest parts into something accessible. He has a lovely and genuine way of offering encouragement / recognizing progress, while still keeping track of the underlying objective; a more far-reaching arc of improvement. I like how he remembers this larger perspective from week to week (especially when I forget), and finds ways to expertly weave the end goal into incremental, manageable steps. I have learned so much from the tools and techniques he’s shared with me, and am grateful to have enjoyed his teaching.
Lovely person, very knowledgeable, a very attentive teacher.
I started with Jack as a complete beginner. Through his constant encouragement and patients I'm delighted with my progress so far. The way he tailors his lesson to your goals and interests keeps the lesson fun and keeps you interested and engaged. I would 100% recommend Jack to anyone looking to learn how to play the piano and wants to enjoy the process of doing so.
I picked up learning piano in my late 30s, and Jack came to the rescue! I had no idea that I would learn to coordinate both my hands this fast! He's been really helping me shape my music and my playing skills with technique work and working on pieces that I really enjoy. The thing I like about Jack is he doesn't make you feel bad about your mistakes; he's really there to help you. He supports you and we laugh together when I make a bad move and he really helps me figure out what the pieces mean to him and what they could mean to me in a way that focuses on the music.
