I’m Miles, a native English speaker from Hawaii. I have experience teaching English for over fifteen years including business English, conversation lessons, and for all ages. Along with working through textbooks and worksheets, I make learning enjoyable with activities like roleplays, comedy, and stories. My lessons consist of various engaging speaking activities and topics, and we also play games and talk about riddles.

I love teaching English because it allows me to meet new people from all over the world, learn about their culture and have interesting conversations. I try to make my lessons fun and engaging while also challenging the students with critical thinking. Along with working through textbooks I make learning enjoyable with activities like roleplays, comedy, as well as stories.

- I can tutor you in all stages of your compositional process, from sketching ideas and notation to strategies for rehearsing your music.
- I am able to see value in compositions regardless of style and technique. I can advise you specifically with: composing in the idioms of contemporary instrumental, vocal, and choral music, atonal, tonal, and microtonal composition, timbral and noise composition, extended instrumental composition, interdisciplinary composition, and with contemporary music analysis.

- If you are interested in more topics, contact me anyway - I will tell if I can teach it.
