As a piano tutor, my teaching philosophy centers around fostering a love of music and helping students develop the skills and confidence they need to express themselves through the piano. I believe that music is a universal language that has the power to connect people of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures. My goal as a teacher is to help students discover the joy and beauty of music and to guide them on their journey to becoming skilled and creative musicians. In order to achieve this goal, I prioritize individualized instruction and tailor my teaching approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each student. I recognize that every student learns differently and has different interests and strengths, and I strive to create a learning environment that is supportive, engaging, and inspiring.
I began my musical journey at the Tehran University of art (Iran), where I earned my BA in music composition. Then I went on to gain my Master's in Music Education at the University of Western Ontario (Canada). Over the years, I have honed my skills as an educator, constantly seeking new ways to engage and motivate students while helping them to achieve their full musical potential. Throughout my career, I have been committed to creating inclusive and welcoming learning environments that enable students to explore and express themselves through music. I have worked with students of all ages and levels, from young children just starting out on their musical journeys to seasoned musicians looking to refine their skills.

Home visit fee: $15 minimum fee. Teachers may negotiate a higher travel fee if the travel distance is longer than they are comfortable with. Most arrangements use the minimum fee.
One-Time Family Registration: $25. This covers your entire family for life - once you're in, everyone can take lessons!
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
