My teaching style is not entirely concrete, for I feel that it depends on the maturity of the student and willingness to learn the subject at hand. I am very patient when I need to be, and my main goal is to simply make sure each student walks away knowing what they needed to learn. I am a 19 year old college student who is living in Murrieta for the next few summer months, and attends Cal State Fullerton. I have taken piano lessons for over 11 years now, and have a few years experience in teaching/tutoring in piano. My major concentration in college is Studio Art, and have also had experience in teaching art classes through M.A.D. Studio. Through experience in college and high school, I am also very familiar with Microsoft Office programs, and have helped those who are struggling in the newer editions of these MS programs.

I have tutored high school students at San Gorgonio High School in a variety of subjects for 6 months. In addition, I worked as an independent English tutor in Buenos Aires, Argentina for 6 months. When I was in high school I did two years of tutoring at Franklin Elementary. I'm currently employed at Club Z Tutoring and attend University of Redlands to obtain my teaching credential. I can teach children of all ages. I believe it is easiest to build rapport with the student before teaching them. If there is a good relationship between the student and teacher then it is easier to teach and learn. I use different styles of teaching that address all types of learners. I will incorporate visual aids, music, hand movements and other techniques to enhance the students retention of information. I have patience and like to use positive feedback to motivate my students.

I began teaching at Hesperia Christian in 1995. First, I substituted and then taught part-time, two to four subjects a year: Advanced Math and Drama, 5 years; Biology, 1 year; and Advanced Drama, 3 years. When my son started seventh grade, I began homeschooling. I taught Earth and Life Sciences, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and II, Geometry, Grammar, Vocabulary, English Composition, British and American Literature, Geography, American and World History, Ethics, Social Studies, Government, Sign Language, and Bible. Studying French from 3rd grade through college back East and having friends who are French here in California has allowed me to remember the basics for the last thirty years. I enjoy seeing children discover the world around them in their own ways. Therefore, I teach the importance of working things out until you understand it for yourself. Childre

I have dedicated my time over the past twelve years to community service, particularly with children and young adults. As a Model Coordinator for Pure Fashion, a Catholic-based program sponsored by Regnum Christi, I assisted in the development of seventy Pure Fashion models, ranging in age from 14 to 18, to become confident and competent leaders in their communities guided by faith and with respect for human dignity. As a classroom aide for School, Inc., I taught 4th grade students the basics of personal finance and entrepreneurship. I also developed lesson plans to correspond with teaching sessions. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children have the capacity to learn with patience, perseverance, and if appropriate methods are applied. I am patient, easy going, and considerate of others. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the a

Education has always been very important to me. My life has been dedicated to the learning and teaching of music (particularly guitar). While double majoring with two very different music degrees at CSU San Bernardino I also established my own private lesson schedule where I taught classical, blues, and rock of various modern styles to my students. Currently I'm finishing up a California single subject teachers credential in music at CSU San Bernardino. The program has given me the opportunity to work as a student teacher in the high desert of California and teach band and guitar classes to the youth. My admiration and passion for music and guitar has kept me connected with my students. I highly enjoy working with children and adults of all ages. I've enjoy giving my students accountability in what I will teach them. Through the usage of this method I've found my students can lear

My teaching style is student focused. It is necessary to understand the student's strenghts and needs before one can begin to assist them in learning the academic material that they need to master. Much of my preshool teaching career consisted of working with four year olds and getting them ready for kindergarten. I made it a point of talking to kindergarten teachers in the local area so that I had an idea of the skills that my students would need to have. I used that as a guideline. However, the individual personalities and learning styles of my students was the most significant factor. It always had the greatest impact on my teaching. I have worked with children in one way or another for my entire adult ilfe. I have taught pre-school and elementary education as well as working in two different children's museums. I currently posses a California Clear Elementary Education Credential an

My background comes from my experience. I began playing Flamenco guitar at the age of five. I later studied Classical guitar with Howard Heightmyer, and Vince Macaluso. My Flamenco studies were with Enrique Heredia. At the age of 22 I decided to study Jazz guitar from Jimmy Wyble. I have taken master classes with Julian Bream at Cal State Northridge. Today I perform playing my own solo guitar arrangements. After teaching 14 years and 12 years of retail management, I owned a music store with several teachers and sold high-end Acoustic instruments. In the last ten years I have taught music part time while having a performing career. Today I find I am teaching professional players who want to learn Jazz, Flamenco, or Classical guitar. I find when I teach I learn. I use this to teach others. In teaching music we dissect technique as well as explore the musical intentions of the composer or

My approach to guitar instruction is divided into four sections as presented below: 1) Explanation 2) Demonstration 3) Participation 4) Question and answer This format allows for explaination of a topic such as perhaps alternate flat picking technique and a discussion of its importance. I would then per item 2 demonstrate the technique. Item three involves the student in the excercise or passage in a highly supportive and coached manner until a level of understanding sufficent to guarantee future improvement has been established. Item four is reserved for question and answer regarding the lesson or other wider apects of learning the instrument and closing with practice excercises. I have worked as both a staff and client educator and trainer. I have designed and led soft trainng workshops as well as conducted one on one training sessions in the private sector. As relevant t

I believe in a life long pursuit of knowledge; a belief I have tried to impart to everyone I come in contact with. I believe in teaching my students HOW to think, not WHAT to think. Our future depends on our creating a generation that is capable forming their own opinions and arguments; a generation capable of wrestling with tough questions and arriving at well thought out conclusions. I would love to claim that I came up with philosophy on my own; but I must admit, it is a philosophy I adopted from two of the most influential educators in my life, my parents. I can promise you three things if hired; I will never be late, I will never no show, and I will be the hardest worker you have ever employed. I strive to be a person of integrity, and I am nothing if not loyal. Though I have not worked as professional tutor, I have time and again found myself instructing and assisting fellow stu

I have been teaching guitar, both electric and acoustic for 6 years. I have almost received my B.A. in Music from Vanguard University with an emphasis in Guitar Performance. I only have to do my senior recital, which i postponed from last semester to due to a family emergency. I plan to finish my recital in January. Since I started college i have been surrounded with all different types of music ranging from classical to rock, from jazz to pop. I have taken many music theory classes and I used that information and applied it to the guitar. I love teaching students to love the guitar. I first ask the students what they would like to get out of playing the guitar and then go from there. I start them off with information that I think all guitarists and musicians should know. I incorporate music theory into the lessons. I ask for their input on what songs they would like to play and I analyz
