Piano Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Medford, NY

I like to simplify whatever problem the student is facing in order for him/her to be able to independently solve it. I always like to remind them that nothing is hard, it is just how they are looking at the problem and organize their thoughts. I like to provide illustrations and visuals for the student and make the class more interactive. My name is Maria Sedrak. I am a Material Sciences Engineer. I spent my college years teaching Piano to kids starting from 4 years old to married couples. I also were a Junior TA in the Physics Department back in my University for two consecutive semesters. I also freelanced at giving Mathematics classes to middle school students. I also performed in front of a large crowd multiple times making me able to interact greatly with people.

I currently hold a bachelors degree in communications and a masters degree in Early Childhood/Childhood education. I have worked in various grades which helped give me a broad understanding of the subject matter taught. My experience has helped me adapt my teaching skills to meet the needs of individual students. I enjoy teaching and working with children. I adapt my lessons and differentiate my instruction to meet the needs of each child. Everyone can learn but in various ways. I use a lot of visual aids and manipulatives to help students learn. With specific resources, patience, and enthusiasm your child can find success and have fun while learning.

I believe that the best teachers combine an extensive knowledge of their subject matter with a love of guiding others towards their own discoveries. I think that having patience, and open mind, and a love of learning are qualities that every teacher should possess. In high school, the experiences I had with tutors ended up making the difference between passing and failing in subjects such as math and chemistry, two subjects I was convinced I couldn't succeed in. I love to provide that service to others!I consider it my job as a teacher to guide students in how to be critical thinkers, look at the world objectively, ask questions, and learn how to process their experiences. During my studies at Stony Brook University, I was able to gain some experience teaching peers as an undergraduate teaching assistant. I studied literature and achieved a second bachelor’s degree in Art History and Cr

I chose the field of education because I believe that every child deserves to be educated in a safe, caring, and stimulating environment where they can strive to meet their maximum potential. Every student is capable of learning and succeeding with the right differentiated instruction that meets their individual needs. I believe in a hands on approach to teaching where students are encouraged to discuss their learning process in a classroom that is filled with rich discussions and free of ridicule. Each student that I have worked with has left with greater confidence and a life long love of learning. Since graduating from Queens College with my degree in Mathematics and Elementary and Early Childhood Education I have had the opportunity to work in many different areas of education and taking on many different roles. I have tutored students from grades kindergarten through 12th grade and

As a tutor and Paraprofessional, I ensured efficiency and accuracy of every student to identify areas of improvement. I provided high-level of encouragement to at-risk youth with constructive criticism. I also administered students in discussions and problem-solving strategies. I monitored and evaluated student’s performance by documenting important data to examine improvement. I allocated tasks and assignments with classroom teachers to accommodate instructional efforts. Currently, I am working on my Master's in Education and New York State Teacher's certification. I have a Florida Teacher Statement of Eligibility. I enjoy hard work and seeing others succeed. It would be very important for me to do everything in my power to make sure my students are successful. I also enjoy seeing the glow in a child’s eyes when he or she understands a concept.

I enjoy teaching English especially reading and writing to children. Each child has their own sense of learning and I am available to teach this. I use many different teaching styles to help children succeed such as silent reading, group work and peer editing. When students are put in a situation where they are encouraged to succeed, anything can happen. I chose to teach in New Orleans because I am a firm believer that all children have the right and will to learn. As an English Education graduate, I have extensive knowledge teaching composition and reading. I am working toward my Masters Degree in Literacy to continue my knowledge of teaching reading and writing. I have tutored throughout my undergraduate career. Last year, I worked for teachNOLA which is a subset of Teach for America. I tutored underachieving students in English and Composition. Also, I taught at John McDonogh Senior H

I've taught both piano and other school subjects as a one-to-one instructor in a sub-contractor fashion, for over 20 years, and I taught General Music in public school K-4, in 2002. As both an undergraduate and Graduate, analyzing and writing about 19th Century literature and poetry, Women's studies,Art and Music history, and comparative literature and music, I have developed analytical, critical and writing skills. I am warm, engaging and fun--I award stickers and other incentives for learning and achievement goals and I work closely with children and adults AT THEIR LEVEL to bring them to excel in the subjects that they are studying. I sometimes cross-reference different subjects to give a multi-dimensional approach to learning. I make an effort to honor the individuality of the child or adult learning, and aim to make a significant contribution to his or her academic or artistic devel

My teaching style is relaxed, non-forceful and always understanding. I am a kindhearted person in general so when I relate to anyone else I always use the utmost respectful language and tone in my voice to show that I am understanding them and wanting to help. I know that learning is a dynamic process for everyone and most people learn in unique ways. I always try to conduct my tutoring/teaching sessions in a way that takes into account my students personal needs and abilities. Education in my life has been my number one motivating factor for success. Throughout my educational career I have always been organized and a group leader when it came to helping my fellow students with projects/homework/studying, etc. For many years I tutored individuals in English, Math, Social Studies/History, German, Psychology and Arts. My experiences have all been validating. Sometimes schools are limited i

I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through effort. I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and Gym.

I have tutored Music Theory, Aural Skills, and Music History for two and a half years at Adelphi University. My G.P.A. in Music Theory was a 3.4 and my G.P.A. for Aural Skills was a 4.0. I was recommended by the former Department Chair-Person to tutor a student with special needs. I have also taught lessons primarily for trumpet, but also for tuba, trombone, euphonium, baritone, and French horn. My teaching style could be described as fun, supportive, caring, and disciplined. By disciplined I don't mean tough, hard, or mean. Students are assigned work that they are expected to complete, although it won't be too time consuming. All work is intended to improve the student's abilities in the field that I will be tutoring them. Improvement is encouraged and positively reinforced.

Ever since age 3, my greatest emotional satisfaction has been expressed through music, and learning how to create music through the piano has provided the key. Being exposed to various styles of classical, jazz and popular music at an early age inspired and taught me to appreciate the art at the highest levels. I have an A.A. degree in Liberal Arts, studied classical piano for 10 years with professional performing artists, have taught piano in a credited school to people from ages 5 to 75 the past 5 years, have been a choir director at 3 churches, and currently am a church organist/pianist for the past 20+ years. I honestly enjoy teaching people of all ages the joy of piano music, and to realize their potential. My approach to teaching how is to connect the student's experience to a new language of sounds and feelings, enhancing their ability to listen. I use a variety of musical styles

I taught a computer "cap-stone" class to graduating seniors part-time at the Katherine Gibbs school for 1 semester. There were approximately 14 Seniors in the class and we utilized all of the Office programs from the creation of letterheads to the writing of business correspondence to mythical persons about various subjects. Subsequently I tutored high school seniors for the Princeton Review, an SAT prep business, for about a year and a half. This experience included working with many types of students and was a perfect venue to utilize my extensive consulting experience. As a turnaround management consultant for over 25 years, I was continually "teaching" people to implement the changes required to succeed. My teaching style is a combination of serious, in-depth theory and practical examples to demonstrate such theories, all with a hint of humor, followed by significant practice

I guide and direct my students by asking them questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives, and encouraging them to develop criteria to make informed choices. My overall goal is to develop in students the capacity for independent action, initiative, and responsibility. I work with students in a consultative fashion and try to provide as much support and encouragement as possible. I have been playing piano/keyboards for over 25 years. I currently play in two local bands and have been teaching private piano lessons for the last eight years for students of any age. I have a profound ability and a genuine passion to teach others and to be able to communicate musical concepts and instructions clearly so others will understand. I specialize in Jazz, Funk, R&B, 70's, 80's, and Top 40.
