Read More About Amethyst W...

I have always been passionate about education and while still in school, I worked with America Reads, with a youth music program, as a private tutor, and as a creative writing TA. After graduating summa cum laude with a BA in English, I earned an MA in Education and a Teaching Credential. I then worked as a classroom teacher, teaching English and foundational mathematics. After being laid-off, I have worked as a writing and editing consultant for graduate students, continued my private tutoring practice with learners in elementary and high school, and volunteered to help design a literacy support program for economically disadvantaged youth.
I believe that all learners are capable of high achievement if they receive appropriate support, and with a recent Master's Degree in Education, I am well-versed in current best practices. I have a student-centered approach that involves assess ... read more

Need Piano Lessons?

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.
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'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'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.

More About This Tutor...

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 students and family members in various subjects; particularly history. I am a goal oriented person. I was 15 years old on my first day of college. I received an AS emphasis in Japanese from Utah Valley University. I graduated with a BA in International Business from Vanguard University. I am currently in the midst of my final semester of my MFA in producing at Chapman University.
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 thi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a public school music educator for three years, and have taught privately for ten years. I have had the opportunity to teach elementary, middle school, high school, and college, and have worked with students as young as six, and as young as seventy-five. I have earned a BA in Music with emphasis in composition, and a Masters in Music with Jazz Studies emphasis. I have taught private, and group lessons in Guitar, Bass, Trumpet, and Music Theory.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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. For trumpet, I work on the embochure, and breathing. For violin, I evaluate the way the student holds the instrument including posture. I use a special tape to help guide with the notes which I use as training wheels, and take them down one at a time as the student progresses. The student learns at his/her pace and will vary by the amount of practice he/she puts into it.
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 ... read more
