Piano is one of my top subjects! I am most suited to teach beginning-intermediate students.

I have many volunteer hours stacked up working with groups of children, but I would love to teach on a more personal basis to build my one-on-one skills. I'm currently an education major at Colorado State University, and while music is my emphasis, I was always very studious in school and am well-versed in other subjects. I have received numerous academic and artistic awards, some (such as being named a Texas Music Scholar) encompass both.
For me, teaching isn't about pounding new material into their head, it's about helping them understand the material they're given and actually having fun learning. That's why my teaching style is all about fun and retention.

I retired after 35 years of teaching, and I am currently substitute teaching. Through the years I have tutored privately students ranging from kindergarten to high school. I also teach piano. I enjoy substituting because it keeps me current with instructional methods being used in schools. I also take continuing education classes to maintain my Colorado teacher certificate.

Math, Science, Writing, and Critical Thinking

My favorite part about teaching is the moment of sudden understanding that you can see in a student's eyes when they've got it. The challenge, of course, is getting to that moment, especially in a subject like math or science. While certain subjects may come easier to some people than to others, I do not believe that anyone is "incapable" of understanding and excelling in any field of study. If understanding is lacking, that is only because the student needs to be presented the material in a way that makes sense to them.
During my time at Colorado College, I worked as a chemistry tutor helping my younger peers traverse the challenging General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry course loads. But because of CC's rigorous alternative schedule--where you take one class at a time, for one month each class--it's necessary to learn to pick up new concepts very quickly, I often found myself b ... read more

Students need inspiration!.

I love discovering each individual student and the way to help them learn. My goal is to help students become inspired by their subject matter so that it can play a role in their lives as well as their test scores.
I have led several small groups of teenagers and young adults in Biblical studies at Prairie Hill Evangelical Free Church, several musical groups in practicing and performing, and a summer-long book club at Crown College. In gaining my Associate of Arts degree from Crown College, I also led many study groups on subjects ranging from Chemistry to Physics, English Literature to Creative Writing.

I recently graduated from Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania. During my four years there I became involved in various activities and volunteer opportunities working with children. I was a reading tutor for America Reads, a volunteer in a Head Start program, and completed numerous community art projects, including murals, with local children.
I prefer working one-on-one or in small groups with students. I am patient and caring, and these qualities are especially brought out when I am working with children and young adults.

A Little Bit About Me...

My tutoring style is that of thorough explanation. I don't give the answers but, rather, coach the individual to determine the answers on his/her own and then provide the theory as to why the answer is correct. I am very compassionate, cheerful, and outgoing, and those personality traits, as well as my passion for learning, teaching and interacting with children of all ages come through in my instruction. I don't think any questions are stupid or unnecessary; rather, I welcome and encourage questioning, as I feel that doing so is an integral part of the learning process.
My only formal tutoring experience was during my high school years as a reading tutor for middle school students attending an at-risk school in Tulsa, OK. That said, I have guided, mentored and coached countless fellow students during my college career as well as professionals who have worked either with or for ... read more

My experience in paid teaching (excluding numerous volunteer and non-paid opportunities) range from teaching Vietnamese refugee "boat-people" children (news film footage archived by Vanderbilt University) in 1975 through years of Orange County (CA) adult education in English as a Second Language to my present duties in metro Denver of teaching immigrant adults in English as a Second Language. Along the way, I also experienced fulltime day teaching of a kindergarten class in Fresno and a combined 7th-8th grade moderate-to-severe special education class in Inglewood, California.
My teaching style could be described as modified Montessorian, in an attempt to appeal to all the senses, and to affect the learning channels of each student as a unique individual. Encouragement is lavished on even the adult students, and not all errors are equally vital to correct on an immediate basis. One ... read more

My teaching style can easily fit individuals of all ages. I like to teach people how to learn music quickly, and I use a method that incorporates both learning how to play by ear, and reading music. Using this method, my students can quickly learn how to play popular music that they will enjoy, as well as the classics. I believe that any student can easily learn to play the piano, regardless of their age or experience, with my method.
As a music student at metro, and a jazz/classical pianist with over 15 years of experience, I’ve had a lot of experience teaching students musical technique, especially in terms of modern music/jazz. I’ve been in many different types of bands, ranging from classical quartets to rock bands, and have received several awards, including awards for musicianship at the Greeley jazz festival. I also play the drums and guitar. I’m also double majoring in avi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Ever since working my first teaching internship as a junior in high school, I have gained a passion for teaching and helping others. After earning my B.A. in Psychology from Connecticut College, I worked for one school year as a teacher and tutor at a public school in upstate NY. Most of the students I worked with either had a learning disability or were absent from school due to suspension or health condition. After finding my niche working with students with cognitive disabilities, i gained my M.S.Ed in Rehabilitation Counseling. Although the majority of my tutoring experience has been with students aged 12-16 years, I have worked as a high school counselor and disability coordinator at New York University and Columbia University, respectively.
As both a nationally certified rehabilitation counselor and a former teacher, I have a unique perspective with regard to the tutoring pr ... read more

Through my experience working with students in inner-city Dallas, in Russia, in Commerce City, and in Denver, I have learned to be creative when finding ways to help students succeed. Education is a deeply personal experience, one which requires the instructor to be as open and active as the student. I strive to journey with my students as they endeavor to expand their learning and broaden their abilities. Each student has specific needs that must be carefully addressed, whether they be language barriers, emotional or developmental delays, etc. When tutoring, both in group and individual contexts, I find what kind of teaching works well with each student.
I have a strong, diverse background in education, from EFL instruction overseas, to public school classroom instruction and private tutoring, to individual and group piano lessons. I began tutoring and teaching piano when in ... read more

As a graduate of The University of Denver's Lamont School of Music, have extensive background in Music Theory, jazz piano pedagogy, composition and music history. My Certificate in Jazz and Commercial Music was a 2-year intensive course of study of jazz theory, technique, and ensemble work.

Very practical, hands-on approach to becoming a better player and improvisor. I use best-practices from the field of jazz pedagogy: applied theory, chord-scale relationships, ear training, learning repertoire, etc. My artistic goal is to achieve freedom of expression through mastery of proven systems and methods. Anyone can improvise!

After graduating with a degree in Chemistry Education I went off to teach. Six years of professional teaching experience later there are few teaching challenges that I have come up against and not found a working solution to. Native tribes learning math and science, migrant children studying Earth Science, an adult looking for help with some chemistry problems, or an Expeditionary Learning student looking to tackle real world problems; whatever your background or needs I can help. I also have experience teaching college level laboratories, and have a deep passion for helping students grasp the ideas behind chemistry, physics and biology.
I have taught straight skills based lessons, created thematic units that take you across the globe and brought students out into the world to explore problems and challenges like professionals. You tell me how you learn best and I ... read more
