More About This Tutor...

I received my BA from one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country. In addition to my psychology degree, I also studied Spanish extensively. Based on the liberal arts education that I received, I am fully capable of teaching a number of subjects including Spanish, History, and English. Currently, I teach Spanish and US History at a private boarding middle school in Connecticut but am moving to San Francisco for the summer. I also spent a lot of time in college and high school tutoring students in many subjects.
I believe that there is no such thing as a "bad" student/child. There are children that need more help and attention than others but everyone deserves the same amount of effort. I am very patient and laid back and really want to provide the best care possible to all children that I teach. I believe that students learn best when they are completely involved in t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my career, I have utilized my writing, research, analysis, and presentation skills to develop and conduct training programs, write manuals, and deliver presentations to all levels of management and staff. Specifically, I have written an "Effective Business Writing Manual" for employees who had been identified as needing basic grammar and writing skills. I have also written training materials for legal purposes, including, E-Discovery.
I not only enjoy teaching and training individuals, but also have been successful with training large groups of employees. I generally create manuals, which parallel a PowerPoint presentation used during the actual training session. I have also taught piano to children and adults, from beginners to advanced levels.

I studied education at Montclair State University for 4 years but I have a always been a teacher. From leadership roles in high school to corporate training, I have a talent for being able to boil subjects down to their basics and provide true understanding. My strongest subjects are Math, Music, and Literature. I can also do work in Science, English and Humanities/Social Studies.
I teach people to learn and find answers on their own. I guide the student through exercises in any field and try to avoid straight memorization by putting the subject is some kind of context. I keep up with current trends and technology and can use that to aid in relationships and teaching.

I have been playing piano/keyboards for over 25 years. I currently play in two local bands and have been teaching private piano lessons for the last eight years for students of any age. I have a profound ability and a genuine passion to teach others and to be able to communicate musical concepts and instructions clearly so others will understand. I specialize in Jazz, Funk, R&B, 70's, 80's, and Top 40.
I guide and direct my students by asking them questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives, and encouraging them to develop criteria to make informed choices. My overall goal is to develop in students the capacity for independent action, initiative, and responsibility. I work with students in a consultative fashion and try to provide as much support and encouragement as possible.

A Little Bit About Me...

People who've seen me teach describe me as relaxed, focused, and funny. For better or worse (I like to think better), I believe in age appropriate humor as part of an overall teaching philosophy. I also tend to be lively. But the bottom line is that we all understand our goals and reach them. When I walk into a classroom or even a solo session, I want to know what the student(s) needs are. I believe in teaching to the goals and then even exceeding them. At the same time, I'm not rigid at all. There are many ways to hit the target. Students come in all shapes, sizes, and moods. As a teacher, I need to accommodate that.
I am currently self-employed as a computer software trainer. My practice includes clients as well as groups. As part of my work, I'm currently an adjunct professor at 2 local community colleges. I'm also a Sunday school teacher at my local congregation. I've been ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a passion for helping students of all ages and levels to comprehend academic concepts and issues. In particular, I find the one-on-one setting beneficial for my specific teaching qualities. I highly value the focus on the exchange of ideas and questions that private tutoring allows for. Additionally, I find satisfaction in the student's understanding of the material through a combination of personal investigation and my educational assistance. At the same time as I believe in rigorous discipline, I also strive to provide my students with an environment that is relaxed and stress-free.
My undergraduate education at Oberlin College has exposed me to a wide range of academic fields, including philosophy, religion, literature, psychology, physics, history, and economics. I have tutored elementary, middle, and high school students in reading, writing, math, and music theory for t ... read more
