Math tutoring
Less fear. More "I get it."
Big ideas get broken into small steps, and no question is too basic. The goal is understanding why a formula works, not just memorizing it for Friday.

Lessons shaped around you
What you can learnYour goals.
Your goals.
Your kind of learning.
Stuck on a proof the night before a midterm, or finally ready to learn the song you've been humming for years? Pick a lane, or do both. Plenty of students do.
Music lessons
Your sound. New possibilities.
Bring the music you love and we'll build real technique around it. Then we stretch a little, into styles and songs you wouldn't have picked on your own.

Math tutoring
Math that stops being scary.
Most students who say they're "bad at math" just missed one step a few years back and everything after it got shaky. We find that step, fix it, and build back up. Sessions follow whatever you're covering in class right now, all the way through Calculus 3.
$35 an hour
Exam prep with an actual plan
We review the concepts that'll be tested, work practice problems together and figure out exactly where you need more reps, so the exam isn't the first time you see that kind of question.

Learn how to learn
Math and music use the same muscle.
Patterns, structure, practice and a little creativity. A double major in both means Colette teaches each one with the other in mind.
Music lessons
Lessons built around what you want to play.
Guitar, ukulele, piano, voice or theory. First we lock in solid technique on your main instrument, then we grow your repertoire. Ten plus years on stage means there's a lot of ground to cover with you.

A quick introduction
Meet your local "Mathemusician."
I hold a double major Bachelor's in Mathematics and Music, with concentrations in Advanced Studies and Musical Theatre Voice. I graduated with top grades and multiple awards for my math work, and I've spent 10+ years performing on stage.
What I love most is the creative process, and it shows up in both places. Solving a tricky problem feels a lot like working out a phrase in a song. I treat life like I'm always a student, and I try to pass that on, so you don't just learn the material, you learn how to learn.
I've sung everywhere from Temecula wineries to Las Vegas, Hawaii and across Italy. One of my biggest honors was singing for the liturgical mass at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. My background covers theatre, worship, jazz, folk pop, opera and choral, so I can meet you where your taste is and still nudge you somewhere new.
Math or music, you'll get an encouraging room and real teaching. Then you keep growing.
