The only way to get out of difficulty is to go through it.

My name is Mike and I have been playing the electric bass for 10 years, guitar for 8, and upright bass for 3. I offer beginner to advanced lessons on any of those instruments. I first began giving bass guitar lessons at the age of 16 after playing for only 2 years and advancing at an accelerated pace. I am a professional and perform several times a month with many different ensembles and musicians of various genres. Piano and voice are skills I have acquired through music college and I am also able to teach those two instruments at a beginner/intermediate level. I am still enrolled in college for music and continue to pursue my doctorates in music.
My lessons are based on the specific needs of the particular students. Whatever it is a student wishes to accomplish, I am there to guide a path, whether it be strengthening particular techniques, learning a favorite song, understanding ... read more

Guitar is one of my top subjects! Experience of 45 years

I have been teaching spanish and guitar for over 40 years and I am very confident within my methods of teaching. I may not have a degree in spanish but with 55 years of experience with spanish I know what it takes to become successful within the language. You are capable of doing anything you put your mind to, and taking the time to understand spanish or guitar is definitely rewarding in so many levels. So if I am a vessel for you to become better with your goals, I will dedicate what I can to help. Also, if your tutoring is centered around homework helping with spanish and/or guitar and you would like to only be working on specific assignments, that is perfectly respectable and comprehension of the subject is what grades are based on so I am here to help.

My comments on tutoring Guitar : I have 20 years experience working with students from beginner to advanced. Adult students are welcome.

I make sure each student receives a real music education and becomes comfortable with a music theory foundation, I expose all students to reading and encourage them to become good readers, which will set them apart from many guitar players out there. A good portion of the lessons focus on repertoire, with the student choosing the majority of the material.
I have about 20 years of one-on-one teaching experience working with all types of aspiring guitarists. I have been playing for 30 years, and have performed close to one thousand times in various small jazz groups, both as a leader and a sideman. I have also sustained original rock projects and played in large ensembles. I have produced large scale concert events and handled the booking for several music venues.

My comments on tutoring Guitar : I have played over 200 gigs with a dozen different bands as lead guitar player.

Friendly, non-threatening, clear and accomplishment-oriented.
Business executive looking to assist elementary and high school children with their studies. I am a voracious reader and a life-long learner. I like children, have had exposure to tutoring before, enjoyed it immensely, was very good at it (in the sense that the children enjoyed my friendly manner and enjoyed the learning experience) and would like to help children remedy deficiencies and perhaps even learn how to enjoy learning as much as I do.

More About This Tutor...

I have worked in the educational field for 25 plus years now. My first experience in the profession was in the mid-80's as a private tutor for junior high and high school students. I was also hired by my town and a neighboring town to provide homebound instruction. Subject areas I was responsible for included social sciences, American and world history, mathematics and English. Upon completion of my certification requirements I was employed at a small private school. The school specialized in assisting students with learning and developmental disabilities. During the evenings I worked in the adult education program of a local town. Subject areas I taught were civics, English as a second language and external diploma program. My school also sent me to receive training and be the representative in the "Newspapers in Education" program. I am currently employed as an adult education represen ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching Guitar to all ages, but especially enjoy working with the children and beginning students, who can learn the theory and technique necessary to become excellent Musicians. The ability to gain and maintain a fun, learning environment, will make the student want to learn more and more each lesson! I have taught many students who became teachers and professional Musicians, enjoying successful careers of their own.
I achieved a BA with the intent to teach in the Public School System, however, I soon found myself earning a living as a Musician playing with some top acts. I spent 10 years traveling the US, Puerto Rico, Antigua, Cuba, and Panama with the USO. I have learned varied musical styles and vocal techniques during this time. After returning from the "road" I opened my own Music Store, named Guitar Heaven, and continued to teach and repair Guitars and other Str ... read more

I enjoy teaching and I love languages; language and culture are two sides of the same coin. I believe everybody can learn, but each in different ways. I'm told that I have a way of making people curious and eager to learn, not limited by the ability to transfer my own passion and fascination for languages to others. I am available to help your child find academic success. I believe in a "natural way" of acquiring ability to speak and internalize another languages. I have found that connecting and integrating the real world, actual situations and happenings in the teaching process is preferable and beneficial.
I have a bachelor’s degree from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, (major subject: Social Anthropology). Other university subjects are Sociology, Media/Communication, Literature and French. I am well read and I have a wide spectrum of interests. Since the late 80’s I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

When I started working at Colchester High School in Vermont, I initially identified myself much more with the students than the teachers and staff. Back in high school, I went out of my way to rebel against the school. In Vermont I quickly learned that there is a big difference-- that as an adult now, I am on the "other side," but can use this closeness I feel with the adolescent mindset to help with the learning process for the kids. I believe that every child is capable of learning anything, it is just a matter of sparking the fire and desire to gain knowledge within them.
I graduated from McGill University in Montreal in 2001, with a BA in Geography and a minor in History. Since then I have had a very diverse experience, working in Vermont as a teacher's aide as well as in a land trust, and in Montreal managing a nightclub and booking bands and acts from Canada and the US.

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 currently hold my MA in history. During my studies I have earned an in depth knowledge of research methods, rhetorical writing, and have become well versed in study methods. My writing skills are near flawlessness and I stress this important skill in my every day life. In addition, I am currently learning both Spanish and French in hopes of improving my chances of entering a doctoral program. During my MA work I privately tutored students in History, English Literature, and Spanish.
My years of studying and tutoring have given me the patience and kindness to work with both my peers, mentors, and children. I have a free-flowing personality and I am not easily shaken. I look for challenges in my every day life and welcome new ideas and criticisms so that I can not only improve myself, but those around me. I do not believe that "some people can not learn," but I do believe th ... read more

I would consider my teaching style to be very organic and adaptable. I consider each student individually, and I evaluate what works best for that student in particular. I am trained in various forms of teaching, and I have a complete understanding of the various learning personalities and characteristics of students that I have worked with and will work with in the future.
I began mentoring students during my tenure at Regis High School, a private, full-scholarship-only high school in New York City at the age of 17. After attending Villanova University and Fordham University's Graduate School of Business Administration, I began tutoring part-time with Studypoint. I have tutored over 30 different students in nearly all academic areas, including SAT, ACT, ISEE, SSAT and Academic Programs for grades K-12. I am currently a law student at Pace Law School in White Plains, NY, and I woul ... read more
