As a drums and classical percussion educator I have more than 10 years of experience. Graduated with honors from State University Of New York, Fredonia, Mason School of Music in 2013 and earned my Masters of Music In Drums at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht, Utrechts Conservatorium. I have had the privilege of studying with world renown percussionists and drum set players including Dr. Kay Stonefelt, Shawn Pelton, Eric Shin, and Joost Kesselaar.

As an engaging drum set and percussion instructor, I provide music lessons rooted in humanistic philosophy which allows me to cater each lesson in an individualized manner and develop richer and more meaningful relationships with each student.

Lessons are provided in a rented rehearsal and practice room space, Students can expect to acquire the necessary technique, musicality and abilities to engage in any musical setting such as rock and pop bands, jazz combos, classical ensembles, experimental or avant-guard music making, marching band music and drumline instruction.

Interested in bettering your language abilities of the English language?
Is English a second language that is required for your studies, work, or personal social experiences?

Then come take English language lessons with me!

I'm Agustin, a Native English and Spanish-speaker that lived in the United States for 17 years.
In my life I have worked as a English-Spanish translator for health facilities in New York City and Washington DC for patients and medical staff members wishing to communicate health-related matter.

I have also had the privilege of working as an English Teacher in Santiago, Chile, teaching and developing the language skills of business empresarios, CEOs, Lawyers, and entrepreneurs who seek to better their language skills in order to benefit their business and social circumstances of work.

I work with updated, interactive and person-centered methods of reaching you as a learner so that language is not an experience of a series of tasks and translations, but rather most effective and personalized to communicate your needs, and engage in experiences that are important to you as a learner.

Classes are given at your home, cafe, my home (Utrecht) or most suitable and growth-promoting space for you as a learner.
If preferred I am also equipped with the necessary sound equipment to provide English courses online through Zoom or other video conferencing software of your choice.

Classes are given 1x per week for 2 hours or 2x per week at 1 hour duration.
