Experience Summary
I have been a tutor for many different areas, primarily music, during my High School years. Have worked in a program that focused in teaching poor homeless children to play various instruments. I also taught them how to build and maintain their instruments, and learned myself how to do it.
I have also given tutoring in school subjects and have helped a few students understand subjects better. These include, History (20th Century), Music Theory, Spanish, English and Philosophy. Up to a few months ago, I have been tutoring 4 boys from middle school with their science, social studies and math homework.
Teaching Style
I am a very patient person, but do admire and require people to be respectful in every sense of the word. I do not like sitting in front of the students begging him or her to pay attention. I like having engaged students that do their best to understand or learn.
Regarding the music tutoring and teaching, I like having students that do not give up. I know learning a new instrument is hard; I experienced it myself, but the key to learning how to play an instrument is perseverance and practice.
