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 bass-baritone operatic singer, pupil of Latvian Bass-Baritone Paul Bekolds at Calarts. I have had the pleasure of premiering numerous works, among them being a commissioned song set and an operatic role written for my voice. I have performed extensively at Calarts in numerous operas and singing groups, both faculty and student run. My training at Calarts involves an in depth study of the voice. Whereas UC's require 2 years of general education before music can be studied in depth, Calarts' program involves deep musical study from the first day, effectively giving the Calarts student 4 years of singing training compared to the UC student's 2 years.
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 mu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 have always been passionate about education and while still in school, I worked with America Reads, with a youth music program, as a private tutor, and as a creative writing TA.

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

A Little Bit About Me...

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

More About This Tutor...

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.
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.

Science is the quantitative and qualitative analysis of all things in the universe. Therefore, I teach utilizing practical activity based methods. Students will ultimately be able to parallel and apply their lessons to everyday life experiences.
Upon completion of my Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from CSU Dominguez Hills I spent 10 years working for TRW and then Northrop Grumman Space and Technology sector. As a result of this experience I approach science and mathmatics from a very practical application driven perspective. I taught Physical Science and Physics at Eagle Rock Jr./Sr. High for 1 1/2 years. I have served as a volunteer tutor for various after school programs with the city of Inglewood.

My objective as an educator is to be a compass that enlightens young minds, guiding them to discover hidden talents and deepen existing gifts.

A Little Bit About Me...

I evaluate the student and see where he/she stands and move forward in progressing their skill. Every instrument is different and difficult in its own way. I will teach the student the most productive way to practice by using the technique I learned by professors and professional musicians. For trumpet, I work on the embochure, and breathing. For violin, I evaluate the way the student holds the instrument including posture. I use a special tape to help guide with the notes which I use as training wheels, and take them down one at a time as the student progresses. The student learns at his/her pace and will vary by the amount of practice he/she puts into it.
In 1997 I was a teacher assistant for the Huntington Park High School music department. I ran rehearsals with the marching band, jazz band, jazz choir, beginning orchestra, and beginning band. In April of 2000 I started ... read more
