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 arranger. When I teach children I stress fun. It is important that they enjoy music. I find out what they want to achieve and take the direction of learning in that path. If they want to learn rock we can do this with the perspective of blues and basic rock and roll. I do stress classical guitar training and harmony, as a base for all music. I do not figure songs out for students. I make them figure the songs out by learning ear training. I have an easygoing style when I teach but I expect the student to do the homework.
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 Enri ... read more

I have been in school the last 10 years. I earned two Liberal Arts degrees in 2005. I also earned a BS in Civil Engineering from Cal Poly Pomona in 2009.

I like to teach individual or group lessons. At college of the Desert, I had a reputation for being an easy going with a lot of patience when tutoring. My teaching philosophy is to listen to the student and to focus in his or hers needs. I use scientific or graphic calculators when needed. Also, I use computer software to accelerate their learning experience.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 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.
