Piano Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Modesto, CA

I feel like I'm very much a hands-on type of instructor. I really believe that the best way to understand something is to keep practicing it and so I like to guide and help speed up this process by giving lots of examples and feedback. I also believe that there's no use learning something if you don't learn it right and it's that belief that makes me so dedicated to my job. Graduated with honors from Modesto Junior College with an Associates in Music. Four semesters of Piano at the college, five semesters of Voice, four semesters of Music Theory and ear training, four semesters of choir, and two semesters of Electronic Music. As a student I have a firm grasp on music fundamentals and the basics of music theory as well as some voice and piano pedagogy. Aside from my experience within the field of my degree, I've always received very high grades in math and english classes. English and com

I am kind of new to teaching. I have taught my little brother everything he knows, and I've been told I have a really good way of teaching. Younger students catch on very quickly to what it is I am teaching. If they don't catch on quick, then no problem. I'm very patient and never give up until a student understands the concept. I am very easy to get along with, so the student will have no problems with me. Altogether I am a very patient smart person eager to help new students learn; and if you want to have fun while learning, then I am the perfect tutor for you.

I graduated from Brigham Young University in 1982 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary and Special Education. I received my California credentials for Learning Handicapped, Multiple Subjects, and Resource Specialist in 1987, through CSU Fresno. Prior to getting married, I worked for nine years in public schools in Utah and California. Since 1991, I have worked an additional nine years in public and private schools from elementary through high school as a Resource Specialist. My eighteen years as a Resource Specialist, in addition to my piano and church teaching experiences, has given me a love for learning and an even greater love for teaching students who exhibit unique learning styles. I enjoy the challenge of creating lessons that meet an individual student's academic needs. Asessment and monitoring of specific skills in reading decoding, reading comprehension, writing

I have taught music in public education for the last 15 years. I have been involved in church music ministry for over 25 years, and currently am the church pianist in Stockton, Ca. I love working with children of all ages. Math is my second love and I almost majored in math instead of music. Math was always easy for me in school. Although I don't enjoy writing, I am very strong in written English and enjoy proofreading papers. I strive to include various learning styles when working with children. Some students learn best by listening or writing, while others need movement or tactile experiences to help in comprehension. I believe in keeping students engaged at all times, to minimize wasted time. Every child has potential. A teacher just has to know how to reach each child, and that happens when the students builds trust with the teacher.

A mastery of the subject matter, enthusiasm, kindness, tenderness, and a belief in the dignity and ability of all children to learn, is my mantra. Encouragement must be present in the learning arena.

I am an empathetic listener with a penchant for learning. A successful tutor needs to be an effective listener, one who is capable of figuring out the solution from the student's perspective, using terms and words that the student can relate to, making deceptively difficult concepts not so difficult to understand. A lot of times, all the student needs is a little help defining and assimilating new information presented to him, and I see myself as a facilitator of that process. I am creative and flexible, patient and persistent, sometimes a borderline perfectionist, and I never tire of the many "eureka!" moments experienced by my peers and students with whom I have had the opportunity to work. I am a trained researcher in molecular biology, with a BS in Neurobiology, Physiology, & Behavior, and MS in Nutritional Biology. I spent some time as an undergraduate volunteering at a local teen c
