A Little Bit About Me...

Received the RIAM silver medal at 15 for piano, and the gold medal at 18 years of age. Played drums for 12+ years.

Tutored for ages 15-18 in the English category and can teach piano and drums to all but advanced performers.
Emphasis and understanding of the fundmental material is crucial, and I would focus more on simplifying how certain topics should be understood rather than over-complicating the problem.

Guitar is one of my top subjects!

Through my educational studies and life experiences I have gained a firm grasp and appreciation for Mandarin Chinese and Chinese culture. Furthermore, I am a gifted teacher and wish to share my knowledge of China, as well as other subjects like music, history, and art, with others who may find some facets of these subjects to be challenging.
Mandarin Chinese - I use Total Physical Response Teaching (TPRS) when teaching elementary aged novice learners, which teaches Chinese as well as American Sign Language. History - I teach history using the many multi-media databases that I subscribe to each month. Musical instruments - patience and hands on. I ask the student what song they want to learn and start learning the first lesson.

I have experience tutoring both math and science subjects to middle and high school students. I have the most experience tutoring Algebra (1-2 years), but I am also well-qualified to tutor science (especially Biology and Chemistry) and thoroughly enjoy those subjects. I've taught both my younger siblings and other students as well.

A Little Bit About Me...

Except for my family, music is my top priority, and it is my personal goal to go as far as I can professionally by giving all that I can personally. With that said I believe that I would be selfish not to try and share it. I have been a professional bassist for about 12. My teaching experience includes, Private Teaching, High School Coaching, Staff Bass Teacher for Civic Arts Programs, as well as a Clinician. I am also a Writer and Arranger of Music, as well as a Recording Engineer and Producer. I can read, write, notate and transcribe music as well as teach Basic and Advanced Theory and Piano. I have performed with many Jazz Legends including Rosemary Clooney and Michael Feinstein and have been nominated twice for a Grammy.
My teaching style is very simple and effective. I start with Technique. I believe that it is the best interest of a student’s success to learn about the inst ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My bachelor's degree in English serves as an example for the effort and time committed to education and a service to academia. I learned literary skills concerning literary forms: folklore, poetry, short story, photography, personal essay, analytical essay. My two years of high school Spanish, one year of College French, and completion of breadth college requirements provide a slight ability for me to tutor Spanish and French language, computer navigation, basic algebraic math, and basic social studies. During the last three years I tutored ESL, reading, and Astronomy at Chaffey College, overlooked K-12 after-school P.E. programs with the Boys and Girls Club, and facilitated a course in wheelchair basketball and disability at UC Berkeley.
I would describe my teaching style in terms of the activity, belaying. Slack is given to the rope at times so that the climber may advance, or tr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduation from college in Texas I taught high school math in Brownsville, Texas for 4 years. I moved to Dallas and taught math in Richardson for 8 more years before we moved to California. I chose to home school my own children in all subjects for grades 1-12. They are now both honor students at there respective universities. While my youngest was finishing high school, I got California certified and taught in an alternative school for 5 more years. I taught an independent study program and also taught Algebra classes. Since being layed off from that position due to budget cuts, I have been tutoring students of all ages in reading as well as in math.
I strongly believe that education matters. It is important for all students who want to be successful in life. I am also aware that education comes in many different forms. For some it is in the books themselves. For oth ... read more
