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

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 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.

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

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 being asked for help in classes I myself was taking. I never minded this, because being forced to explain something is the best way to ensure your own understanding of the concept. That is why I try to avoid directly answering questions my students ask me, instead dropping hints and asking questions of my own that guide the student to their own answer, in their own words.
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, ... 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

More About This Tutor...

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 me during my 11 1/2 year career as an accountant. Throughout both my education career as well as my professional career, I have gained valuable knowledge in the areas of accounting, finance, math, economics, reading and writing, and I have enjoyed very much sharing this knowledge with colleagues and friends along the way.
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 out ... 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

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 aviation technology at the Metropolitan state college of Denver.
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 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As both a nationally certified rehabilitation counselor and a former teacher, I have a unique perspective with regard to the tutoring process. Similar to counseling, the ultimate goal of tutoring is to facilitates students' understanding of their learning style and to ultimately increase autonomy and self-sufficiency. This philosophy differs from others in that the goal of tutoring is not simply to help the child learn academic material and complete assignments; rather, tutoring serves as a means to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the self and how idiosyncrasies influence individuals' unique learning styles. My experience in both teaching and counseling has imbued a deep understanding of the importance of individual differences and its influence on the learning process. As a rehabilitation counselor, my expertise lie in my work with individuals with disabilities, particularl ... read more

Children have different ways of learning. It might be visual, audio, or hands on. I learn about the child to try to establish his / her learning style. With this I can individualize my teaching style to each student. I believe all children want to learn, it's just learning what is the best way for them to learn and keeping the child motivated to learn.
I am a certified teacher in Colorado. I graduated from University of Northern Colorado with a BA in education, majoring in PE. I also have a degree in Business / Accounting.

A Little Bit About Me...

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

A Little Bit About Me...

To effectively teach any subject I first take the time to clearly organize my thoughts on the subject, decide upon what objectives/information that I would like/need to convey to my students, and then prepare a complete lesson plan including clear goals and a concise agenda for day's topic,which will be shared with the students at the start of the lesson. During the next segment, I present and explain the chosen topic in enough detail to provide a foundation for the class to then be able to engage in a variety of interactive,skill mastery activites, designed to further clarify the subject in as many different ways as are necessary to meet the various learning styles and needs of all the students present.
I have been teaching in both classroomas well as one-on-one settings here in the US as well as Europe and South East Asia for over 20 years. My students have been of all abiliti ... 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. I've also attended the Jamie Abersold Jazz Camps (University of Louisville, KY) several times where I studied with such jazz luminaries as David Hazeltine, Steve Allee, Andy LaVerne, Phil DeGreg, Todd Hildreth and Chris Fitzgerald.
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!
