If you are looking for a tutor, look no more. Hire Take Note! "

"Michelle has an overwhelmingly positive attitude toward teaching. She arrives at every lesson excited and upbeat, and this keeps Sophie engaged and ready to learn. She uses positive reinforcement to build Sophie’s confidence at the keyboard, while at the same time gently guiding her in areas where she needs work. Sophie ends every lesson eager to practice her new songs, thanks to the enthusiasm Michelle instills in her, and we’re thrilled with the progress our daughter has made under Michelle’s direction. "

James has helped me through not only the SAT process, but the college essay writing process as well.

James has made applying to colleges significantly less stressful and much more effective as he is always able to guide my essay in the right direction."
