Guitar is one of my top subjects! I have 15 years experience playing guitar. I have played in many bands and have a vast knowledge and understanding of the music business.

On the design end of the spectrum, I have spent the last 2 1/2 years doing freelance design around the LA area and have worked for a design studio making posters, logos, album covers, layout, branding, and more. Additionally, I have also worked for a firm in downtown LA doing presentation design. On the music/guitar end of the spectrum I have been playing guitar and in bands since I was 12 years old. I have toured the better part of the country with bands, and have a deep understanding of the music business. I have learned enough in my experience as a designer and musician that the key skill in today's culture, which is ever evolving, is the ability to learn.
Relaxed. Accommodating.

Recently I was asked to give a Guest Lecture on Neuroanatomy at Everest College. I wanted to take students on a ride through the nervous system, into subcortical structures, down the spinal cord to synapse onto muscles and organs. I had to cover everything I learned in the past year, in four hours. I was able to compile a set of animations, which played in tandem with my lecture. Rather than simply name structures, I discussed symptoms that would manifest given a lesion to that area, resulting in effortless comprehension by the students. The idea was simple: present the marvels of anatomy in a way that the digital age can embrace—a philosophy, which I will bring into your institution if granted the opportunity.
As a Pre-medical student, studying Neuroscience, I aspire to one day become a neurosurgeon. In my quest, I’ve decided first—to become a surgical technologist. I’ve served as ... read more

Currently I am tutoring in California, passing on my love and knowledge of the English language, literature, and other subjects to students.

As a native Chinese speaker, I enjoy teaching others Chinese because I could see people have the urge to learn the language. Many people would be surprised to know that Cantonese and Mandarin are consider as Chinese. However, they tone and the way to speak Cantonese and Mandarin are totally different. I grew up in Southern China, so I am good at speaking and writing in Cantonese and Mandarin. I have experienced on teaching young kids Chinese one-by-one. By talking and correcting the pronunciation, people learn Chinese more quickly through daily conversation. Usually, I would use English and Chinese in teaching. In addition, I can also use only Chinese in teaching if it is required.
In my way of teaching, conversation is very important because people can learn faster through talking. For those who want to learn Chinese character, there will be a small booklet for them to learn how ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I started tutoring in the Mid 1970's, tutoring Chemistry to CSULA Nursing students. Then I realized i could also tutor Math, since I took many Math classes in my Chemistry and Computer Science curricula. I have encountered a diverse range of students allowing me to hone my craft.
The interesting part was that I was forced to be creative, since not everyone can learn from the same analogies and techniques. So, over the years I have developed many different approaches to teaching and also much patience. I find a method that works for the student, and then make sure quickly the student can actually do the problems. I break down Algebra into visual patterns, and analogous concepts.

A Little Bit About Me...

Growing up as a student I noticed that most of the teachers in the classroom pay attention to only a fraction of students. This bothered me. One of the main reasons why I decided to become a teacher is to give each student the attention he or she needs. I love being a part of the students' education, and knowing that I can leave a positive impact is a great reward.
As a graduate of University of Irvine, I have learned to achieve knowledge through research and inquiry. Researching was a major part of my degree alongside to writing and analyzing. This helps me teach the students to effectively gather their information on the area of their study. Moreover, I have tutored chemistry for two semesters in Irvine through Education Outreach Program. During my credentials, I interned at two prestigious elementary schools. I learned to manage a classroom by myself and plan for different subj ... read more

I teach because I love to help people learn. Most students are children, and teaching children of allages is a blast. All kids are different, and you really have to know what makes them tick. I'm very good at seeing what works for kids and what doesn't. I'm very patient, and I believe in making sure students understand why things are the way they are in music. It's very frustrating playing things, but not knowing why or how it all works. I keep teaching fun, and I approach every student as a new journey..I'm just a really experienced tour guide. Kids will learn to play what they want to play as well as what they need to know how to play.
I'm a professional musician and teacher, and I've got a lot of real world experience both as a player and teacher. I studied classical guitar, but I play all styles. Studying classical guitar gave me a huge repertoire of not only music bu ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Education has always been very important to me. My life has been dedicated to the learning and teaching of music (particularly guitar). While double majoring with two very different music degrees at CSU San Bernardino I also established my own private lesson schedule where I taught classical, blues, and rock of various modern styles to my students. Currently I'm finishing up a California single subject teachers credential in music at CSU San Bernardino. The program has given me the opportunity to work as a student teacher in the high desert of California and teach band and guitar classes to the youth. My admiration and passion for music and guitar has kept me connected with my students.
I highly enjoy working with children and adults of all ages. I've enjoy giving my students accountability in what I will teach them. Through the usage of this method I've found my students ca ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with children in one way or another for my entire adult ilfe. I have taught pre-school and elementary education as well as working in two different children's museums. I currently posses a California Clear Elementary Education Credential and a Masters in Education from the University of La Vern. The process of obtaining my teaching credential and my masters degree allowed me to reflect upon the educational skills I developed teaching preschool.
My teaching style is student focused. It is necessary to understand the student's strenghts and needs before one can begin to assist them in learning the academic material that they need to master. Much of my preshool teaching career consisted of working with four year olds and getting them ready for kindergarten. I made it a point of talking to kindergarten teachers in the local area so that I had an idea of the skills that ... read more
