Musical Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Chandler, AZ

I summarized my basic experience in the Policy Statement. To expand on that, I have over 20 apps on an android tablet that are for clients who need early intervention in the areas of educational subjects, speech/breathing techniques, social and emotional recognition and assistive communication. I have a child safety filter infiltrated into the device so that the clients receive only what is appropriate to their learning. They cannot access the settings on the device, nor the regular web. I honor parents' input on what they think is appropriate for their child. I utilize kinesthetic learning and encourage parental involvement within the tutoring sessions.

I strongly prefer working with "older Youth"...that is,age 13 and above. I can teach beginners to intermediate music, in a variety of styles. Flexible. I am trained classically and appreciate the need for the learning of that technique, but am more than willing to accommodate the student's varied musical interests and tastes. I have over 25 years of experience in the music field, and have worked as a professional pianist in churches, theaters, schools, and colleges. I accompany choirs, private vocalists, voice classes, juries, recitals, and musical theater productions. I work very well with older youth/teens, and adults who are self-motivated, and have a strong interest in learning.

I am a firm believer that learning should be fun! Research shows that children learn best through exploration and play, so I strive to create this climate during all of my teaching endeavors. In addition, I spend time getting to know my students and forging relationships with them; this helps me connect with them and adapt my teaching strategies to what is most enjoyable for them. I wholeheartedly believe that each child holds the potential for the same educational gains -- I help them achieve these gains by being a partner in learning rather than a micromanaging educator. I began my teaching career as a Certified Cognitive Skills Trainer, educating children ages 6 to 17 years. For a year and a half, I helped those students improve upon their reading, comprehension, math, attention, reasoning and logic, and visualization skills. Often times, I saw my students achieve 5+ year gains. Since

I am a compassionate educator...I have a great affinity for those struggling with learning and am quite well aware of the assistance a tutor...a step up. I am so pleased to help others succeed at a task that seems so daunting. I have had success as a teacher in a variety of subjects and meet the students at their level as we work to improve. Using a variety of methods to secure their end goals, the learning process will be within their reach and most important their confidence will be improved. I am very attuned to the individual that I am focused on and I readily comprehend that they are unique in their learning styles. I am patient and always try to meet them at their level prior to moving ahead. Learning has not been an easy process for me and I had to work to meet the challenges so I understand the rigors of trying to accomplish a goal. Most of all, I enjoy all ages of stude

As an undergrad I attended Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, a school well-known for its academic excellence, where I studied Christian Education under a group of highly talented professors. While this degree was not a typical teaching degree, it incorporated a significant amount of educational theory, communication skills, and developmental psychology which I have used as a mentor, Sunday school teacher, and tutor. I then attended Fuller Theological Seminary as a master’s student where I studied theology and youth ministry. This program allowed me to further study the developmental issues connected with adolescents, as well as increase my writing and critical thinking skills through the study of theology, philosophy, and history. I have worked with middle school and high school students in a church setting for 9 years. I began tutoring last year, working with elementary and Jr.

My method is to reach students exactly where there at and use methods that would stimulate all types of learners . Once I was teaching a group of sixth graders who would be entering Algebra soon. I gave them a true life math example. Our equasion; a party with the number of students, quantity of different items and costs. When we devided the items their costs with the number of students we came up with how much each student had to pitch in. In this example I had some items that were to be used and they were able to touch them. I also told them very clearly what was going on while I was writing it all down. This stimulated many different learning types My teaching experience began at a Riverside County Probation Facility for Wards of the court in Banning California. I began there as a Building Maintainance Mechanic and worked my way up to a vocational education teacher. After that I work

I believe that the possibilities of learning are incredible, especially with understanding the tools of both teaching and learning whether that is textbooks, computers, or something else. It is important to ascertain how a student learns, and adjust to them. I’ve discovered in my teaching of children that it is critical to create a foundation of understanding then build upon it through repetition of the basic ideals while adding to what is already established. Children are amazingly open to new ideas, and take on new challenges with excitement, so it is my job as instructor to guide them in their journey. I also feel that early learning is fundamental to the way individuals learn later in life, so helping children learn how to overcome obstacles becomes a way of expanding their educational possibilities. Throughout my higher educational career, I’ve been driven to learn as much as po

Because I had such a hard time learning and focusing in a regimented, institutional-type learning setting in school, and yet was a brilliant child, I teach extremely well in a relational more relaxed approach. Rather than "shove information down throats" I am interested in each individual, and to get to know their personality and learning style. I have found that when there is relationship and trust between the mentor and the student, not only does the student learn the information more effectively, but as the mentor, I am able to teach and speak more clearly. Rather than lecturing or preaching at them about what I think life should be like for them, I take them hiking, out to eat, to movies etc. I have always had a heart to help others become the best that they can be. For the last 2 1/2 years, I have been taking in troubled teens into my home and being directly involved in coaching the

I have worked in the field of education for the past 15 years but have worked with youth in all of my career since graduating from college in 1983. I have always been drawn to education and feel that I have achieved a high level of excellence in my own education that I want to help others become life-long learners. I have worked with emotionally handicapped children and teens as well as having raised two refugee foster children. I have tutored student in Spanish and reading. As I mentioned above I have worked with all age groups of students and feel that I am very patient and flexible. I strive to have students be the best they can be by giving them confidence to want to learn. I believe in giving students the opportunity to try and put into practice that which they are learning so it is very experiencial providing a very well rounded educational experience.

I always try to ask the student what they think they are weak in. Always try to change the teaching method so that the student does not fall in a routine every session. They sometimes decide on doing, for example, in math, inventing their own equation and participating in their own learning. I have been teaching and tutoring students for over 10 years. I teach students up to grade 12. I have been working in Canada as a tutor and worked with dyslexic students as well. I taught math and excelled myself with a high gpa up to grade 12.
