Since the age of 13 I have been playing bass. Since 1993 I've been a self employed bassist, audio engineer, producer and programmer. In addition to performing, I have extensive experience with computer audio/music recording and production. In that time, I have toured the world playing in several different musical styles. Most notably, playing with Jose Feliciano's. I've taught many students how to play bass privately and continue to do so today. I've taught at music stores as well as my home and students homes. In 2003, I decided that I wanted to integrate music and the internet, so I earned an Assoc. Degree in Web Development. I really enjoy teaching students how to play the bass. It's a thrill when they have that "Aha" moment and what I'm trying to show them simply clicks. Every student I've ever had has had different reasons for coming to me and therefore I approach each individual di

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 orchestras

I enjoy helping students who need extra help. I have much patience and understanding. I start from the ground up, don't skip any steps and become familiar as I can with students abilities, strengths as well as weaknesses. I enjoy making a difference in students lives. Both my high school and my GED students appreciated my help very much. Have a BS degree in Economics from Fordham University. Twenty years of experience writing real estate appraisal reports have improved my writing abilities greatly. High School regents final grades were 98 on Algebra. 96 on geometry and 78 on trigonomitry (hardest class in high school). I believe I got a B in calculus both in high school and college. Have privately tutored math students in high school and college as well as over the past four years. Helped several students pass GED as well as do well in Algebra and Geometry. Have recently receiv

I was very motivated to accomplish a high level of excellence in education, and have earned a BS degree in both Meteorology and Mathematics. Although initially motivated to study meteorology, I took on the additional math major soon after because of my longtime love of numbers. Both majors complemented each other and enhanced my problem solving abilities. Further, both majors have afforded me the opportunity to apply Microsoft Excel to my laboratory projects, and senior research studies. Both research papers and laboratory write-ups helped me improve my grammar and writing skills. While attending college, I tutored other undergraduates in both Math and Statistics for two years. Teaching is a unique opportunity to shape a child’s world. I want to help children achieve their best, and have found that accomplishing this goal is best undertaken by exercising patience, care, and honesty

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 Engineering which has given me ample experience in mathematics, most notably statistics, and the sciences. I have participated in a number of research projects where I have been given the opportunity to use what I’ve learned in practical applications. In addition to math and science, I am experienced in report writing and have excellent grammatical skills. I have two years experience tutoring older students math-related classes, and eight years experience tutoring children as young as eight in the violin and viola, both of which I am proficient in. 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 th

I graduated with a degree in Spanish and Latin American Studies. I really wanted to give others the opportunity to improve their learning. I have tutored students in ESL and ELL programs, and have helped them with math, english, science, and social studies. I believe that you have to cater your teaching to your student's needs. Because every student is different, it is imperative to try to maintain their attention while teaching and also make it interesting. I believe that great teachers can be entertaining and informative.
