Music, and working with students who enjoy music is my passion. My experiences have shown that some students can be shown or told, while others understand through strictly listening, or even by doing or saying nothing! Francois Rabbath demonstrated how correcting intonation could be as simple as moving a persons' finger. By doing so the musician remembers their finger was in the wrong spot and where it should be placed through muscle memory! My teachings are proven to work, and every student who has worked with me has had fun and has walked out of the lessons with a smile on their face and enhanced knowledge. There are many different ways to teach; however, in music depending on the student there is always a way the student learns best.
Since the third grade, I have been striving to always do my best in music. I kept improving and eventually was able to lead myself to several orche ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Math and science did not always come easy to me as a student, so I know how frustrating it can be for someone to struggle in school. As a tutor, I work hard to give my students the confidence they need to succeed in and outside of the classroom. I find that it helps when students understand why the concept they’re working on is important and what it can actually be used for out in the real world. Focusing on this purpose gives students motivation, and I use this idea as often as possible. Furthermore, I pride myself on having a good, appropriate sense of humor and have the ability to keep the mood focused enough to get work done, yet light enough to alleviate some of the stress associated with working through difficult problems.
I am a young engineer and Air Force officer highly motivated by the prospect of seeing others succeed. I have a B.S. in Industrial and Management Engi ... read more
