My name is Ashley Caval, and I am a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and private teacher based in Weymouth, MA. A 2009 graduate of Dartmouth College, I received my BA in Music with a concentration in electroacoustic composition. While at Dartmouth, I studied viola with Marcia Cassidy, voice (contralto) with Louis Burkot, kemancheh and Persian classical music with Kayhan Kalhor, and Hindustani classical music with Kenneth Zuckerman.
My composition teachers include Jon Appleton, Charles Dodge, Spencer Topel, and Kui Dong. Since moving to the Boston area in 2010, I have worked to develop a dual identity as an active performer in the classical and heavy metal communities and as a private academic/test prep tutor and private teacher.

She began teaching beginning viola in 1999 for her hometown's summer music program and established an after-school algebra tutoring program for her peers in 2000. Upon entering Dartmouth College in 2005, Ashley began working with the America Reads program, which places college students in low-income school districts to serve as teachers' aides and tutors.

We have had a great experience with Ashley thus far. I feel she is a great match for my daughter's needs and can see an improvement in her learning. Ashley is patient and soft spoken which suits my daughter well. Ashley spends a good amount of time on test-taking strategy as well as providing info on how to solve questions that you may not know the answer to.
