Experience Summary
I love working with children and young adults. As a Music major, I have been giving singing, piano, and theory and sight singing lessons for many years. There is nothing more rewarding that watching a child learn and knowing that you helped him/ her get there. Music is not all I know; as a high school student I tutored kids in my own school and helped them with homework, projects and exams. All the students that I worked with improved their grades. Now, apart from teaching music, I also volunteer as a tutor; teaching and helping students improve is one of my passions.
Teaching Style
Each person is different and as a tutor one has to be very empathic, patient, and understanding. By knowing the child you're working with and understanding their way of learning, you can adjust your methods to accommodate them, that way being more effective. Something very importatn that I have learned when tutoring, is to make them feel smart and give them positive affirmation when they learn something and reach a goal. I try to make lessons and tutoring sessions fun, by letting them express themselves and getting to know them, but also getting down to business when it is time to.
