One-on-One Tutoring at Newburgh Creates

Sometimes a student needs more than a class: time with one teacher, working at their own pace on exactly what they want to learn. That's what our tutoring program is for.

It's a new program, and we're starting with what we know best: coding, piano, and art. We're also open to adding math, writing, and other subjects as families ask for them. We have access to a wide network of teachers who can help with specific topics, so don't hesitate to ask us for something that's not listed yet.

Tutoring happens at our studio at 113 Liberty Street, a space full of computers, robots, art supplies, digital pianos, and musical instruments, where learning is hands-on.
