Very caring, musical, and a great people person. I have mostly learned all my people skills when i was a waiter at T.G.I. Fridays, and that combined with my love of learning brings me to this tutor position I have always been a hands on learner, so that is mostly the way i portray my lessons, by doing, instead of readin.

Instrumental, Vocal and History Interactive, Lecture, Structured, Laid Back. Whatever is necessary; nobody learns the same way. Through my life I have excelled in the subject of music. I am fortunate enough to have studied with great private instructors and professors, and am seasoned going on 5 years of teaching in the public school setting. As a high school instructor, I have 5 Choral ensembles in addition to my management of the Choral Department and courses of piano and American Contemporary Music. In previous years teaching, I have worked with grades 4-12 including general music curriculum, choral instruction and Marching Band.

As the Director of Curriculum and Program Development as well as the lead instructor for two music schools, my background has seen me teaching about 70 students a week while implementing several programs that focus on the quality and administration of all academic programs in the school. These programs offer opportunities for students to focus on songwriting with a strong emphasis on theory and applied musical knowledge. The programs allow students to develop group etiquette, arranging skills, and an understanding of moderate to advanced level theory while learning about the studio experience. The experience as a Director combined with graduate study has allowed me to be involved in the development of instruction materials, level requirements, improvement in the school’s methods of composition teaching, teacher hiring, and the evaluation of fellow instructors.

Because I've worked with students who have various learning differences, I have a vast array of teaching strategies. What works for one child doesn't always work for another. I encourage auditory learners to always read the instructions back to me. It helps if they can explain the material as if they were teaching the subject. Visual learns tend to respond to charts, graphs, note-taking, powerpoint- anything containing shapes and color. Tactile learners have sensory needs. If at all possible, this type of learner should be given a "hands-on" task to help them assimilate the material. I believe that my patience and relaxed nature builds confidence and trust in each student. All children can be motivated to learn, because all children want to succeed in life. As an educator, I have 10 years experience in public education for grades k-12. While my main focus has been in the field of Special

My tutoring practice employs the Socratic method to help students help themselves become better writers, self-editors, and critical thinkers. I do not take a red pencil to their work and "fix it" for them. I do not put words into their mouths to then put into their pens. Their voices remain their own. A strong tutor welcomes and encourages this ownership and self-expression while teaching at the same time. A strong tutor also provides steady, patient guidance and gentle correction, but true learning takes place when students "see the light" for themselves -- a direct result of the collaborative effort involved in the tutoring experience. I discovered the reward of helping others learn as a high school tutor. Later, as an English major, I tutored in our university's Writing Center. After graduation, I was asked to continue as a tutor/writing consultant for eleven more years.

I enjoy working with kids of all ages very much. As my summer job, I teach children from ages 4 to 21 how to play tennis. This has helped make me the person I am today in many ways. I am very patient and easy going and I am considerate of others as well. I am confident in my abilities and I think I would be a great fit for you as a teacher, friend, or mentor. As a member of the Wellesley community and past student at St. Sebastians school, I have learned to achieve at an extremely high level of education. My teachers have showed me how to succeed in school and strive for the best. I have been extremely interested in Music and the arts for many years now. I would enjoy working with children as for I work very well with them.

While earning my bachelor's degree from Brown University, I taught middle school math and upper school English for two summers at Cushing Academy. My students varied widely in terms of previous experience and motivation, and I strove to approach each at his or her level and to think of each of them as individuals, never just a member of a homogeneous classroom. Last year, I taught middle school music at the Dana Hall School; some of my students had never played an instrument or sung in a choir, while others had years of experience. From this experience I greatly improved my ability to work with middle schoolers. I also tutored adults preparing for the GRE. The math section of this test covers primarily algebra and geometry, and my experience at Cushing had prepared me to find an approach to each subject suited to the student. I believe the key to good teaching is understanding the s

While holding certification in three varied subjects, I feel that my strengths lie in teaching transferability of acquired skills. Having a bachelor degree in an educational field, an MBA, and 8 years of various "real world" experience that includes both retail and project management gives me an advantage when teaching. While in college and afterwards, I built a studio of music students that placed in the top two seats in Florida All-State bands, various regional student orchestras, and All-County bands. Though I am teaching math now, I still strive to instill the same passion in my students to achieve. Essentially my teaching style is goal oriented. I motivate students to build skills that are not only applicable short-term, but well into the future as well. These concepts are reinforced by applying skills to realistic situations and problem solving. In this way, my students will

I have always been extremely focused on education, both my own and that of others. Starting in elementary school, I was assigned as a peer tutor to other students who had difficulty grasping the material. I continued to tutor my classmates until graduation. While in high school, I also began tutoring students that were still in elementary and middle school. Although I considered education as a career, I instead opted to major in psychology, in which I earned a BA in 2007. I also hold an AA in Liberal Studies. While earning these degrees, I tutored fellow classmates in the areas of English, algebra, psychology, and history. I also tutored middle school level children in reading comprehension. I love teaching and have indeed taught everything from basic reading to dance class. I have tutored people that range in age from five to age sixty-two. I believe that everyone has the abilit

After graduating from Haverford College with a double major in physics and astronomy, I worked for three years as an astrophysics researcher at NASA and Harvard University. In 2000, I became a teacher and a tutor. Since that time, I have taught children of all ages and adults in a wide variety of subjects. From 2002-2003, I designed and taught my own courses in physics and Calculus at the Academy at Charlemont. From 2004-2006, I completed a two year graduate program in physics education at the University of California, Berkeley. I gathered extensive experience student teaching at urban schools in the Bay Area and participated in two research groups. For my Master's thesis, I developed a curriculum to teach modern physics at the high school level using computer technology and hands-on, inquiry-based laboratory activities.

My teaching style functions around the fact that I am passionate about learning, which finds its way into my teaching style. I feel that every student has the capability to learn and because of that I feel that with the right patience and understanding, every student can achieve something wonderful. I believe each student I see is unique which means that each student requires specific needs to achieve the best they can. As a teacher I believe we need to be able to adapt to each student, find out what they need to help them achieve and do our best to give them that. I feel that with that dedication, students not only find a stronger and more positive sense of self but feel confident to accomplish things on their own, which in the end is always my ultimate goal. To give the student the materials they need and the confidence they are lacking to be able to go out in the world and complete a
