Piano Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Patterson, CA

I feel like I'm very much a hands-on type of instructor. I really believe that the best way to understand something is to keep practicing it and so I like to guide and help speed up this process by giving lots of examples and feedback. I also believe that there's no use learning something if you don't learn it right and it's that belief that makes me so dedicated to my job. Graduated with honors from Modesto Junior College with an Associates in Music. Four semesters of Piano at the college, five semesters of Voice, four semesters of Music Theory and ear training, four semesters of choir, and two semesters of Electronic Music. As a student I have a firm grasp on music fundamentals and the basics of music theory as well as some voice and piano pedagogy. Aside from my experience within the field of my degree, I've always received very high grades in math and english classes. English and com

Also, I tutored middle-schoolers in ESL, Social Studies, and Literature. I enjoy tutoring adukt learners on English and Citizenship. And finally, I have taught private piano lessons and music reading. I present concepts in a variety of ways, such as: "hands on," visually, problem-solving, and inquiry-based. I reinforce the concepts each time we have a session. I tutor with a style that is accepting, positive, and where my student's feel comfortable enough to ask questions and become actively involved. All my students are successful learners who have fun learning!

I strive to include various learning styles when working with children. Some students learn best by listening or writing, while others need movement or tactile experiences to help in comprehension. I believe in keeping students engaged at all times, to minimize wasted time. Every child has potential. A teacher just has to know how to reach each child, and that happens when the students builds trust with the teacher. I have taught music in public education for the last 15 years. I have been involved in church music ministry for over 25 years, and currently am the church pianist in Stockton, Ca. I love working with children of all ages. Math is my second love and I almost majored in math instead of music. Math was always easy for me in school. Although I don't enjoy writing, I am very strong in written English and enjoy proofreading papers.

I enjoy the challenge of creating lessons that meet an individual student's academic needs. Asessment and monitoring of specific skills in reading decoding, reading comprehension, writing skills, written expression, math skills, and math concepts, allows me to modify my instruction to make each lesson relevant to your child's level and ability. I use personal experience, student's interests, repetition, oral responses, creative thought, and a host of other methods to practice and hone basic skills so that a student can master the basics and enjoy learning across a wide curriculum. I graduated from Brigham Young University in 1982 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary and Special Education. I received my California credentials for Learning Handicapped, Multiple Subjects, and Resource Specialist in 1987, through CSU Fresno. Prior to getting married, I worked for nine years in

I am a parent to a four year old and a twenty year old stepson, so my teaching and parenting is one filled with patience, toughness but fairness, and lots of humor. I believe that children should talk respectfully, grammatically correct [Student: “Can I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Well, I don’t know. Do you know how to?’ Student: “I mean, may I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Yes, of course you may go the bathroom”], and should treat each other with respect too. It’s not easy, and it’s more of a battle some days than others. I have students who feel that they can do whatever they want to, on their own time. I teach that with the privileges comes the work, there is no easy way around it [I work with high 6th graders and 7th graders]. I have worked for over five years with elementary and middle school-aged students; I have also worked with People with Disabilities. I love working with chil

I taught a 5th grade for half a year in Missouri directly after graduating from college in January. I then taught a 5th/6th combination grade for one year when I moved to Colorado. After my marriage, I did substitute teaching for about 3 years. My most recent teaching experience was eight months of substitute teaching for K-8th grade in 2007. I have periodically tutored over the years in all subjects for students in elementary school. I especially enjoy building the self confidence of students that have failed in an area. I believe their attitude about themselves plays a huge role in their ability to learn. I also try to create a firm foundation of basics so that they are able to easily build on that.

I love working with children and I would love to help students find success in learning new things. Its a great joy to see students succeed after helping them. I believe kids should learn in the learning style they prefer. Whether they learn visually, kinesthetically or by listening all kids should have a goal set and achieve those goals. I also think its important to have fun while learning and so whether its Math, English, History or Science I feel its important to make learning fun so students want to learn more. I want to see students learn with a good education. As teaching is my passion and profession it has taught me a lot. I am currently in the middle of getting my teaching credentials. As well as learning about teaching, I have earned my Bachelor's of Arts in Economics. I got my degree in India because I wanted to do something unique. It was definitely interesting le

As an engineer and mathematician I have experience in all areas of Aerospace engineering,including management and mentoring of engineers over much of my 44 year career at Lockheed Martin. I have also tutored math, phyics, and other related subjects. My approach to teaching math and science is to thoroughly prepare a student by first emphasizing the fundamentals. Too many students get "lost" if advanced concepts are taught too soon. Then, once a student is ready, the studies should emphasize the students strengths and interests to the utmost possible.
