Vocals is one of my top subjects! Lessons will center around developing a rich, flexible, and even vocal apparatus through the utilization of Western European classical singing techniques.

I am a passionate, optimistic, and empowering teacher (okay, maybe a little goofy too). I hope to rid students of self defeating thought processes and unproductive/unfounded personal critique. Students will learn to listen to music and themselves with sharp ears and an open mind, skills that will transfer over into their own professional work environment. My teaching style is custom made for each individual student. There are many ways for a student to wrap their mind around the more challenging and obscure facets of optimal singing, and it is my job to find the clearest path. The study of singing is full of challenging paradoxes: "lower the larynx, but don't depress it", "keep on the voice, but don't push it", "cover the sound, but don't darken it"; throughout lessons, students will begin to realize that these 'paradoxes' aren't that at all, but rather a harmonious balance of two op ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I prefer to give the student room to develop his/her style by addressing topic/subject in a manner that connects with student most effectively.
Besides being a baby sitter for more than a decade (born to a big family with 3 younger siblings), I've tutored children of families in the Inglewood/LA area for more than a year. I also held several tutoring sessions and study groups in for classmates in engineering physic and mathematics. Overall, I have a great grip of aiding students in grasping the topics in a useful and practical manner.

I enjoy teaching any age group, from the young child to the older adult. It is amazing to learn from them as I go about teaching them music. My belief is that we were all created to be able to exercise and develop out unique talents. I am very loving, patient, considerate, and teachable. I am a great advocate in teaching through a positive and constructive way.
As a current grad student, I am driven to continue my pursuit in higher education. My Bachelor of Music from the world renowned and prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, plus my work on both my Masters has prepared me to understand many area of music, teaching, and leadership. I have learned how to work with different age groups and levels, as they are all unique. During the last couple of years, I have tutored many students in music performance, composition, arranging, recording, and producing among oth ... read more

I am a very caring teacher. I love to use humor and encouragement in the hopes that the students will feel inspired to continue and flourish in their writing, even after our time together is over. I believe in children and their ability to acheive anything, and try to relay that message to them in a fun and patient way. I love to see the spark ignite in the eyes of someone who has achieved something they didn't know they could.
Although I have worked mostly in Film and Television since graduating from University, I returned to the University of LaVerne in Athens, Greece in 2004 to tutor foreign students in essay writing and to help hem with their entrance exams. I worked there part-time (3 days a week) for 2 years. I continued tutoring 2 students privately for another year. In 2009 I tutored after-school English at DeAnza Middle School in Ventura for approximately 6 months.

Interlochen Arts Academy unlocked the artist within me. Their educational styles and values continue to inspire me as an educator. Hope College and continuing education furthers me with a variety of tools to design curriculum. Versatility together with concentrations in both Painting and Clay, an appreciation for the liberal arts, diversified cultural environments, and vivid discourses have guided me to point out new directions for my students. I also have a wide background in tutoring Math, English, GED prep and Early Reading. I believe this experience, enthusiasm, brings me the ability to connect with students.
My objective as an educator is to be a compass that enlightens young minds, guiding them to discover hidden talents and deepen existing gifts. Mastery is best achieved through active learning, giving students a variety of individualized tools to measure, evaluate, and co ... read more

Concurrent with my course of study at California State University, Northridge, I worked as a teacher's aid and behavioralist at The Los Angeles Unified School District (Roscomare Road Elementary, Kennedy High School, Nobel Middle School and Colfax Elementary). During my tenure in these institutions, I experienced hands-on training both in the classroom and privately at homes with at-risk youth, children on the spectrum and neuro-typical students. Currently I work as a social worker with the homeless population in Van Nuys. This experience has challenged and strengthened my organizational, multitasking and pragmatic problem-solving skills.
I am a visual learner who is aware of my space; I transfer this style in my teaching methods to create a specific pattern of learning designed to both stimulate thinking patterns and generate results. With students on the spectrum or learning ... read more

I enjoy teaching children and helping them to reach their academic goals because all young people have the capacity to learn. My style is patient and steadfast, with an encouraging yet focused pace. The idea is to help the student discover and come to the answer on their own. I like to help them illuminate their own ideas, and then help to guide and shape them. I don't believe that any child is limited by their background or socio-economic status; every child can live up to their full potential if they're intellectually stimulated, supported and given the proper environment. I love seeing the light in a student's eyes when they "get it." I'm dedicated to the educational excellence of every student I work with.
I come from a family that values education, and I've always used that to fuel my thirst for learning. An avid writer and reader, I earned my Bachelor's in Journalism, which ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have scored over 40 feature films, including the Academy Award® nominated documentaries "Mighty Times-The Legacy of Rosa Parks", and "Rock The Boat".  I have also been recognized for my work with two 21st Century Filmmaker Awards for Excellence.  I would be happy to send you a CD and promotional material.
