I began teaching piano in 1975, the summer after my sophomore year in high school. I continued to teach through college. As a teacher, I have been able to utilize both my BME (Bachelor of Music Education) and my Bachelor and subsequent Masters Degrees in Music Therapy to support my students wide range of learning needs. I have also taken additional classes in psychology and classes that dealt with learning disabilities. I believe that I can effectively utilize these skills as a tutor. I have worked with children for many years and in many different settings. I have observed so many different learning styles and I strive, as a teacher, to be flexible enough to help a child learn using their strengths. I do not expect perfection but I do expect my students to work to their potential. I also believe that my students need to feel as though they can openly discuss any problems or concer

As a music Education major, I studied the vocal techniques and instruments of piano, flute and piccolo. I have studied piano since age four - which is 28 years - from a private teacher by the name of Judy Nihlen. I have also been a member of a French Sorority in college, speaking almost fluent French. I have composed several musical compositions growing up and all throughout college. I arranged choral piece by W. A. Mozart from a Mozart aria. I also starred in an opera my sophomore year of college. I did all this while suffering from Aspergers disorder and tics due to tourettes syndrome and ADHD. I teach children and adults according to the wishes of the learner. I love teaching music theory and aural skills; however, I also love to make people discover learning music at their own pace and developments. For example, my husband learns to play certain music that I picked up by ear o

I feel my style of teaching is one of being a facilitator. I choose to interact with the student by asking questions so enabling them to reach the answer through their own thinking processes. The excitement of seeing their confidence build as they realize they can figure out problems independently is the reward of being an educator. I believe my job is to guide and support the student. My teaching experience started teaching in a pre-school with 4 year olds. I then taught 3rd grade for 1 year and kindergarten for 9 years. When I updated my certificate (just in the last year) I did some teaching in a mildly handicapped resource room.

One thing I understand in life is that we cannot change our race, our skin color, our height but our level of education is our choice. Another thing I also understand in life is that people can take away your money, your clothes, your shoes and your house but your knowledge is really yours: nobody can take it away from you. Result, I am actually an engineer, a commercial pilot, a musician and I am fluent in four languages, to mention only that. The beauty of sharing what you know is the following: by teaching others you are increasing your own knowledge. I will be happy to help student/s in Math, French and Spanish. I don’t believe in a universal teaching methodology. I do believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. Often

Working with children has always been a passion of mine. Although my BA is in psychology, I also took several courses in Early Childhood Education, including classes such as Reading Development and Elementary Mathematics. I believe that children learn in different ways, and will strive to help your child succeed academically. I am very patient and will work hard to ensure your child fully understands the subject matter. As a psychology graduate I have a deep desire to help children both academically and socially. Prior to becoming a psychology major I spent two years studying Early Childhood Education. As a result, I am competent not only in the field of psychology, but in education as well. I have tutored elementary aged children in several courses. I have outstanding writing and reading skills. I have excellent communication skills, and know how to talk with children in order to help t
