My teaching style is not entirely concrete, for I feel that it depends on the maturity of the student and willingness to learn the subject at hand. I am very patient when I need to be, and my main goal is to simply make sure each student walks away knowing what they needed to learn. I am a 19 year old college student who is living in Murrieta for the next few summer months, and attends Cal State Fullerton. I have taken piano lessons for over 11 years now, and have a few years experience in teaching/tutoring in piano. My major concentration in college is Studio Art, and have also had experience in teaching art classes through M.A.D. Studio. Through experience in college and high school, I am also very familiar with Microsoft Office programs, and have helped those who are struggling in the newer editions of these MS programs.

I'm a big believer of motivation and encouragement. Once the kids are motivated when they feel the bonding, learning success will be achieved in a faster speed. I'd like to talk to the children every day to find out how their days went and their concerns and challenges especially if they feel they're capable of handling of the situation and their ways of doing such. I'm very passionate to help kids to be successful in school as well as in life. I've had 6 years of working as Student Aides in all levels of K-12; Math, English, Writing, and Arts, 5 years working as Teacher for Career Colleges: Websters, Phillip Jr., and University of Phoenix; Math, Computer Software Applications, Writing, Professional development, Accounting,Statistic, Student coaching,and Piano.

I believe in a life long pursuit of knowledge; a belief I have tried to impart to everyone I come in contact with. I believe in teaching my students HOW to think, not WHAT to think. Our future depends on our creating a generation that is capable forming their own opinions and arguments; a generation capable of wrestling with tough questions and arriving at well thought out conclusions. I would love to claim that I came up with philosophy on my own; but I must admit, it is a philosophy I adopted from two of the most influential educators in my life, my parents. I can promise you three things if hired; I will never be late, I will never no show, and I will be the hardest worker you have ever employed. I strive to be a person of integrity, and I am nothing if not loyal. Though I have not worked as professional tutor, I have time and again found myself instructing and assisting fellow stu

I love teaching and working with students of all ages and backgrounds. I am a patient and positive, and find that my easy going nature puts people at ease. My teaching is "student centered", and I design a course of study that is catered to the student's interest.

I love teaching children. I try to find ways to relate the subject matter to the students so that they may be able to better understand it. I try to personalize and adjust to each student because each student has a different way of learning. Growing up, I was always interested in Physics, Math and Science. I started tutoring elementary students about a year and a half ago. I also teach swimming to all levels and ages at the City of Cerritos. I want to be able to get more students interested in the sciences early on to give them better opportunities in their scholastic career.

In 1997 I was a teacher assistant for the Huntington Park High School music department. I ran rehearsals with the marching band, jazz band, jazz choir, beginning orchestra, and beginning band. In April of 2000 I started working at Middleton Street School where I had the music program under my direction for almost ten years. Instruments include: Violin, Guitar, Vihuela, Guitarron, Voice, and Trumpet. I currently have my own Mariachi group, and play with other groups who need or are short in musicians. Groups include: USC Mariachi, Cal State L.A. Mariachi, and Mariachi Juvenil Voz de America. I evaluate the student and see where he/she stands and move forward in progressing their skill. Every instrument is different and difficult in its own way. I will teach the student the most productive way to practice by using the technique I learned by professors and professional musicians.

I love working with and improving young minds. A lot of my teaching style is hands on by trying to give my students more life friendly examples. I know that I am able to take any struggling student and help them succeed in their class. I myself am a current Engineering student and I understand the struggles of learing and retaining math/science related concetps. Over the years I have gained experience teaching strategies to make the learning process easier. I've worked with group and one on one situations and now have a great understanding of high school teaching techniques. Whether you need full explinations of certian scientific concepts or just someone to work through problems and keep you on track, I am the tutor that can help you with your educational future. Over the past two years I have grown to love helping students in my scholastic strengths. I have gained a great deal of exper

I am a honors graduate of Summa Cum Laude from a well known Polytechnic school here in Southern California. My drive to succeed and reach my full potential as a contributing member of society has led me to achieve two different Associates degrees and a Bachelors degree. When I transferred to the university I was on the path to become a Civil Engineer. My interest in Mathematics led me to that path and enabled me to gain a clear understanding of Math through analytical geometry. Due to the extensive process of obtaining these degrees, I have acquired many skills in other areas such as analytical and critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, the ability to work well in teams and basic general knowledge. I greatly enjoy sharing my knowledge in areas I have strength in with others who wish to gain the same knowledge. Helping others understand gives me a great pleasure. I like to use

About midway through my studies at Northeastern University, I started teaching in after-school programs. There I taught middle school and high school ages kids how to DJ and produce music. I also taught capoeira, a Brazilian martial arts class. During my time at NU i studied all aspects of music technology including compostion, music theory, production, and engineering. My teaching style is very hands on. I like to show the student how its done and make them repeat the process over until the concepts are understood. I also like the students to have choices and some sort of control over their own learning processes so that there is mutual respect amongst peers and myself.

Music is extremely important to every student's development. I believe every child is capable of grasping good, solid musical concepts and that these concepts will make them better people and better citizens of our planet. Everyone learns different and I evaluate each students process and teach accordingly. I am an experienced composer, songwriter and producer with extensive film credits. I have scored over 40 feature films, including the Academy Award® nominated documentaries "Mighty Times-The Legacy of Rosa Parks", and "Rock The Boat".  I have also been recognized for my work with two 21st Century Filmmaker Awards for Excellence.  I would be happy to send you a CD and promotional material.

I am flexible and patient; helping students to learn is my priority. I believe that tutoring offers an ideal relationship with the student where their specific needs and learning styles can be addressed. I feel that it is important to connect to a student's interests and imagination. To accomplish this it is necessary to teach with interest and imagination. I don't accept anything less from myself. I graduated Magna Cum-Laude from Ramapo College with a BA in English and a minor in history. Afterwards, I traveled around the world teaching. Currently I am tutoring in California, passing on my love and knowledge of the English language, literature, and other subjects to students. In addition to my background in the Humanities, I have taken several semesters of Math and Science courses. I have been tutoring students since I was employed by Ramapo and over the years have taught many differ

I believe tutoring is not only to raise children's grades, but also to make sure they understand the material so it can be applied to other principles in their future education. I believe not every student can be tutored the same way, and I have confidence that I can mold material in a way that each student can understand. As a high school student, I taught music and math to middle school kids for approximately two years. The music they learned was performed in a competitive circuit in which they placed. As an undergraduate, I served as a study proctor in my sorority from 2007-2009 tutoring in the subjects of math, science, and writing.
