A Little Bit About Me...

As the Director of Curriculum and Program Development as well as the lead instructor for two music schools, my background has seen me teaching about 70 students a week while implementing several programs that focus on the quality and administration of all academic programs in the school. These programs offer opportunities for students to focus on songwriting with a strong emphasis on theory and applied musical knowledge. The programs allow students to develop group etiquette, arranging skills, and an understanding of moderate to advanced level theory while learning about the studio experience. The experience as a Director combined with graduate study has allowed me to be involved in the development of instruction materials, level requirements, improvement in the school’s methods of composition teaching, teacher hiring, and the evaluation of fellow instructors. Understanding how ... read more

More About This Tutor...

If a student has interest and confidence, she or he can learn anything! I am enthusiastic about what I teach, and I let students take the lead in solving problems to build independent skills and confidence. I am also a firm believer in understanding HOW things work, not just THAT they work--I combine problem-solving strategies with an understanding of why those strategies make sense.
I'm a recent graduate from Brown University, with experience tutoring at the middle school, high school, and college levels. Math and Biology are my favorite things to teach--I love the subject matter and I love to see it "click" with students. In math, I received an 800 score on the SAT, and a score of 5 on each the Calculus AB and BC exams. I also tutored algebra as a high school student. I'm currently studying up on everything from Trig to Calculus II so that I can take a Multivariable Calculus c ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love the job of teaching language. So I was majoring in teaching Chinese language and literacy in Fujian Normal University when I was an undergraduate student. There, I had been trained to be a qualified Chinese teacher in China for four years, including course training and plenty of internships. Then I successfully gained the certification of teaching Chinese before graduating. After finishing undergraduate study, I came to the U.S., continued studied on language education. In addition to daily schooling works, I did a lot of jobs in teaching Chinese in local schools. For example, I'm an official teacher in Athens Chinese School (Athens, GA). Also, I worked as a free Chinese language tutor and organized Chinese language learning center in a local elementary school at Athens, GA. After graduating from graduate school, I work as a Chinese lecturer in different universities. Therefore, I ... read more

Piano is one of my top subjects! I've been playing the piano for 7 years now. I'm was trained with classical music, which I still play now a days. But I have an interest in contemporary music. I attended the University of Memphis as music student for 1 year and now I'm transferring to Berklee College of Music.

I've always have a pation for helping others. I'm always more than happy to help and I put all my effort and patience to help. I'm from Colombia so my Spanish is perfect, I've always have very good writting and speaking skills. I just moved to the states 1 1/2 years ago, so my English is getting better, but not perfect. I've also played the piano for 7 years now and I'm a music student. So I can also give piano lessons to begginers and intermediate level persons.

A Little Bit About Me...

I use a variety of teaching styles and methods for children. I use various styles of music, composers and performers in lesson plans. Currently I am using books on music and musicians as part of my lesson plans. I believe literature is extremely important in teaching children. I am direct with children in my classroom. I give them expectations, I set goals, and I follow through. It is important for an instructor to state exactly what is expected of the student in order to help them achieve their goals.
I have been teaching children of all ages for over 25 years. My primary expertise has been in music education. I have been employed in public, private and parochial schools throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Not only have I created traditional lessons for children in the classroom, but I have also gained experience as a musician, performing in a variety of ensembles, bands a ... read more

I feel confident that I can find the right style to fit each child. Each child learns differently and at a different pace, so there is no one style to apply. I am a level headed, kind, and extremely supportful individual, and I think it helps when someone lends a calming approach. Children just want to learn, they absorb everything, so for me to be able to come out of a session and know that I was able to get through to someone, is just wonderful!
I have earned a Bachelors degree in Accounting and have over 20 years experience in the field. In addition to working, have volunteered in my childrens classrooms when they were in elementary school. My most recent job, outside of Accounting, was a supervisory/management position, where people reported to me daily and I gave them feedback and helped them to see things more clearly. I found this experience to be very gratifying. I enjoy ... read more

I have a lot to offer, having lived many lives in one lifetime. I am a quintessential American-born woman with good Russian language skills. I am hands on, and patient.

Working with children has always been my passion. I feel as though it is important to engage all different types of learners and to make them feel as if the classroom is a place where everyone is safe and included. I have worked extensively in the past with children that have Autism. I believe that all children, despite any disability, are capable of being successful students as long as they are given the right tools and the support that is necessary.
Coming from a family of teachers, the importance of education has always been stressed to me. The emphasis was placed not only on succeeding academically, but also to gain a true understanding of the subject matter. I hold an Associates of Applied Science in Community Service and Leadership and graduated Magna Cum Laude. I also hold a Bachelors of Science in Family Studies with a concentration on early childhood education and graduate ... read more

I have worked hard over many years to asses the needs of individual students. Firstly, I assess the learning level and learning style of the student over the first week or two. Secondly, I approach the teaching style according to those findings. Thirdly, I assess the progress of the student in relation to the teaching style and make any necessary changes in approach. I teach students to look at (analyze) the music to find similarities, likenesses and problem spots. The results are excellent in seeing that the learner remembers lessons and instruction. The learning is long lasting and even permanent.

My tutoring involves following classroom plans in Reading, Writing, English, and related skills and subjects. The goal is to support my students in their academic work that needs remedial attention as well as to enhance and enrich their homework, supporting them in every way possible. I mainly teach grades Kindergarten through six and have worked for over three years with older students at the middle school level(s).
I am firm and consistent always asking for the students' imput. My style will vary with the assignment at hand, also. It is important to me that I achieve expectations of me through collaborative efforts.

I think one of the most important qualities for a teacher is to have a radiant enthusiasm for the subject you are teaching. After all, how can you get the students excited to learn, if you are not excited about the material you are teaching? You also need to be observant and able to identify how your students learn best and cater to their different learning styles. Finally and mostly importantly, a good teacher is patient and believes in their students' potentials and enthusiastically aids their students in reaching those potentials.

I worked also with Après la classe (“after classroom”) – 16, rue Commines BP 3003 75121 Paris Cedex 3 – as a tutor from November 1999 to January 2000 and had three pupils: a little girl of 6 years old; we did a lot of reading, a teenager of 13 years old (her sister); we repeated her History and a student of 20 years old that was studying to be a midwife and had bad marks in French literature: I tried to make her love to read but I think that today, I would do better: I would give her some “tricks” to succeed: how to read a text, what “turns” to look for, how to call them (those parts), what for, what do they support, and so on...
If a child, an adult or a teenager doesn't like you, it will be difficult (impossible?) to have him (her) learn from you. Unless you are very strong and I am "nice": I don't like to be rude. So I would need to be appreciated in order to teach. That is why ... read more

Having worked with a huge number of beginner and intermediate music students, I believe in getting to know the student and his or her aspirations, and then devising lessons to address the individual needs of that student.
