About Maxim
With a lifelong passion for music and math, I started playing piano at age 5 and composing at 13. I hold a double major in Music Theory & Composition and Mathematics from New York University. Having won competitions in both composition and piano myself, I’m committed to helping my students achieve their own successes. I have also achieved perfect scores on the SAT math section, SAT Math level 2 subject test, and a 5 in both AP AB and BC Calculus as well as the highest mark in the Carnegie Hall Royal Conservatory's Achievement Program for level 5 and 6. I tailor lessons to each student’s needs, fostering a supportive environment that encourages creativity and questions. I prioritize clear communication and use high-quality equipment for a seamless online experience.

Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
As someone who hadn’t touched a piano in years since taking lessons as a child, Maxim really helped me get back to speed on the basics and helped me to start playing my favorite pieces again quickly! I can’t recommend Maxim enough for complete beginners just starting out, or for individuals like me, that took a long hiatus and are ready to continue their piano journeys.
5/5I took lessons from Maxim in music theory. He made everything super clear and I had fun in the process! I highly recommend working with Maxim, as he will encourage you and give you tricks to help you understand anything you’re confused about. He will also provide you with homework tailored to your needs if you are interested.
