About Poco Vivace
I am a certified music and math educator focused on helping students thrive with clear structure, encouragement, and skills that carry into every rehearsal and classroom.
Based in Washington State on the east side of Lake Washington, available for in-person and online lessons.
My handle, "Poco Vivace," is written in musical style terminology (which English inherits primarily from Italian). Literally "a little lively," I chose it to reflect my approach of lighthearted seriousness. I strive to make my tutoring approachable and focused on progress.
