I've been playing piano for 18 years and teaching for 8, and I’m passionate about helping students develop their skills while fostering a genuine love for music.

As a passionate Piano Tutor with over three years of experience, I am dedicated to helping students unlock their musical potential through engaging lessons. My teaching approach is built on creating a fun, interactive, and environment where students feel encouraged to explore their skills.
Hello! I'm Monika Dong, I’m excited to introduce myself and share why I’m passionate about teaching，and I’m someone who has always found joy in expressing myself through music and creativity. I’ve loved singing for as long as I can remember, and I also enjoy immersing myself in the colorful worlds of anime. My love for anime not only shaped my imagination but also inspired me to learn two incredible instruments—the piano and the guitar. I began learning piano nearly ten years ago, driven by a dream to play the beautiful soundtracks from my favorite shows. Six years ago, I picked up the guitar for a similar reason: I wanted to accompany myself while singing iconic anime songs. As I practiced and improved over time, I realized how much music connects us to emotions and memories, whether through a touching melody or lyrics that resonate with our experiences. Music became not just a hobby but an integral part of my life, helping me express emotions and creativity in ways words sometimes can’t. Playing and singing anime songs brought me so much joy that I wanted to share that happiness with others. This is one of the main reasons I love teaching. Whether it’s teaching music, language, or any subject I’m passionate about, my goal is to inspire the same excitement in my students that I feel when I play music or immerse myself in something I love. Teaching allows me to connect with others, share knowledge, and watch as students discover their potential, which is one of the most rewarding feelings in the world.
