We offer exceptional online instruction in language arts, math, and guitar to families everywhere. With over 21 years of education experience, Renzi Tutoring and Guitar is a family-owned, family-run, and family-centered business.
Tammy teaches students to enjoy reading and writing with tailored lessons that cater to the needs and interests of each child. By making contact with your child's teacher, she is able to facilitate the transfer of new skills to the classroom. She also prepares students for STAAR reading and writing tests.
By building on essential math skills, Tammy teaches students to feel confident in their math abilities. She breaks instruction into manageable chunks to decrease anxiety and emphasize your child's strengths. From daily assignments to important tests, students are able to apply what they have learned with greater ease.
From classical to rock to country, CJ has played a wide variety of musical styles and taught every level of student. He understands how to break down music into its smallest unit of learning in order to make it accessible to the student. Students learn how to read music, develop good practice habits, and to love the guitar through a mix of their musical interests and music fundamentals.
From writing a fun story about talking squirrels to tackling and finally making peace with fractions - from learning the beautiful language of music to strumming through a favorite song, Renzi Tutoring and Guitar provides instruction that builds upon your child's strengths.
Working with qualified, patient educators who are always in good cheer puts both students and parents at ease as we master academic and musical concepts in a low-pressure environment. Come explore your child's potential while you delight in their growth and learning.
Back in 2005, CJ opened a little guitar lesson business in West Houston. Not long after, in a tiny room off the waiting room, Tammy began tutoring reading and writing. We realized the power of one-to-one instruction. Much to our surprise, we filled up our schedule serving families from all over the area.
Working together made our family strong and happy. It also allowed us to give more energy, time, and patience to the families we serve. In other words, we could focus entirely on customer service - and that made everyone happy.
Now we are excited to deliver that same quality and experience to families everywhere.

Let our students tell you what they think about us. It would be a pleasure if you share your opinion and feedback too.
"CJ's positive style and encouraging approach has been incredibly valuable for my two daughters (currently 12 & 9) over the past few years. His ability to play to strengths and develop areas of weaknesses impressed me so much that a year ago I began taking lessons myself. It's something we all forward to all week. "

"Tammy Renzi has tutored my dyslexic daughter for 4 years in reading, writing and math. She is a blessing and has given my daughter the gift of creative writing. In my opinion, Tammy goes above and beyond as a tutor! Per my request, she has kept an open line of communication with my daughter’s teachers to help in areas where she struggles in school. My daughter’s reading and writing abilities have greatly improved under her tutorship. Mrs. Tammy is one of the kindest and most patient people I know. I highly recommend Tammy Renzi as a tutor and trust that she will have your child’s best interest in mind."

"CJ was recommended to us almost 5 years ago, by a friend, as being a "good" guitar teacher. However, "good" does not do justice to CJ and his talent and teaching skills. He is an exceptional teacher and an extremely talented musician. He has instilled a love for music in my kids and for that I am forever grateful. He is kind, patient and very accommodating. I could not have asked for a better teacher for my kids. Thank you CJ for all you do."

"Hi my name is Ella. I have been with Mrs. Tammy for 4 years now. I started in the 2nd grade and now I am going into the 7th grade. I would still be going to Mrs. Tammy if she tutored the higher grades because she is such an amazing tutor! In those 4 years we had a great time. I am dyslexic so that means I learn a little different but with Mrs. Tammy’s help I could catch up with the other kids in school. She would work with me on my spelling and reading passages. I enjoyed getting help so that I could get better at my reading. Thank you Mrs. Tammy!"
Ella J.
"I was referred to Tammy when my son started 4th grade. From the first time I spoke with her, I knew she was the right fit for my son, who is diagnosed with ADHD and mild Aspergers. She worked with him for a year and a half to further develop his love of reading and to help improve his writing skills. Tammy's methodology and teaching style helped him become a much better writer. She made learning fun and he looked forward to his sessions with her. Tammy's proactive communication with his teachers to anticipate his needs was invaluable in making the best use of their time together. We were devastated when she relocated to Austin, but could not be happier with our son's progress over the time she tutored him. We are SO very grateful to Tammy for her patience and willingness to go above and beyond to help him excel and become a successful student."
