Percussion Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Pearblossom, CA

I am flexible and patient; helping students to learn is my priority. I believe that tutoring offers an ideal relationship with the student where their specific needs and learning styles can be addressed. I feel that it is important to connect to a student's interests and imagination. To accomplish this it is necessary to teach with interest and imagination. I don't accept anything less from myself. I graduated Magna Cum-Laude from Ramapo College with a BA in English and a minor in history. Afterwards, I traveled around the world teaching. Currently I am tutoring in California, passing on my love and knowledge of the English language, literature, and other subjects to students. In addition to my background in the Humanities, I have taken several semesters of Math and Science courses. I have been tutoring students since I was employed by Ramapo and over the years have taught many differ

I know that I am able to take any struggling student and help them succeed in their class. I myself am a current Engineering student and I understand the struggles of learing and retaining math/science related concetps. Over the years I have gained experience teaching strategies to make the learning process easier.

I am a honors graduate of Summa Cum Laude from a well known Polytechnic school here in Southern California. My drive to succeed and reach my full potential as a contributing member of society has led me to achieve two different Associates degrees and a Bachelors degree. When I transferred to the university I was on the path to become a Civil Engineer. My interest in Mathematics led me to that path and enabled me to gain a clear understanding of Math through analytical geometry. Due to the extensive process of obtaining these degrees, I have acquired many skills in other areas such as analytical and critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, the ability to work well in teams and basic general knowledge. I greatly enjoy sharing my knowledge in areas I have strength in with others who wish to gain the same knowledge. Helping others understand gives me a great pleasure. I like to use

I enjoy seeing children discover the world around them in their own ways. Therefore, I teach the importance of working things out until you understand it for yourself. Children will meet and often surpass any goal that is given to them if you show that you believe in them. I use a hands-on approach, as much as possible, with a problem-solving emphasis. I firmly believe that a child remembers things more if he is able to work it out for himself. As a result, I take more of a mentoring position the older the child is. It was in this way that my daughter received both an AA and an AS degree the night she received her high school diploma. I began teaching at Hesperia Christian in 1995. First, I substituted and then taught part-time, two to four subjects a year: Advanced Math and Drama, 5 years; Biology, 1 year; and Advanced Drama, 3 years. When my son started seventh grade, I began h

About midway through my studies at Northeastern University, I started teaching in after-school programs. There I taught middle school and high school ages kids how to DJ and produce music. I also taught capoeira, a Brazilian martial arts class. During my time at NU i studied all aspects of music technology including compostion, music theory, production, and engineering. My teaching style is very hands on. I like to show the student how its done and make them repeat the process over until the concepts are understood. I also like the students to have choices and some sort of control over their own learning processes so that there is mutual respect amongst peers and myself.

Music is extremely important to every student's development. I believe every child is capable of grasping good, solid musical concepts and that these concepts will make them better people and better citizens of our planet. Everyone learns different and I evaluate each students process and teach accordingly. I am an experienced composer, songwriter and producer with extensive film credits. 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. In the meantime, I invite you to visit my website (http://www.kevinsaundershayes.com) for a full list of credits, featured music selections, video examples, press reviews, as well as director and

My college studies have been in a variety of fields with the most concentration in the arts and social sciences. At the University Center for Developmental Disabilities I have gained one-on-one experience with children with autism and have learned and employed several techniques used in the Operant Conditioning model. As a Teacher Assistant, I have the responsibilities of setting goals, creating objectives for weekly sessions, and tracking and recording weekly progress. Such goals include, increasing expressive communication, decreasing specific inappropriate behaviors unique to each child, and improving academic skills such as reading, mathematics, and problem solving. Through out my work with children diagnosed with autism I have learned and implemented B.F. Skinner's Operent Conditioning model. Although punishment is in the model, my specific teaching style only includes reinforcem

Growing up, I was always interested in Physics, Math and Science. I started tutoring elementary students about a year and a half ago. I also teach swimming to all levels and ages at the City of Cerritos. I want to be able to get more students interested in the sciences early on to give them better opportunities in their scholastic career. I love teaching children. I try to find ways to relate the subject matter to the students so that they may be able to better understand it. I try to personalize and adjust to each student because each student has a different way of learning.

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 working at Middleton Street School where I had the music program under my direction for almost ten years. Instruments include: Violin, Guitar, Vihuela, Guitarron, Voice, and Trumpet. I currently have my own Mariachi group, and play with other groups who need or are short in musicians. Groups include: USC Mariachi, Cal State L.A. Mariachi, and Mariachi Juvenil Voz de America. 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.

I can promise you three things if hired; I will never be late, I will never no show, and I will be the hardest worker you have ever employed. I strive to be a person of integrity, and I am nothing if not loyal. Though I have not worked as professional tutor, I have time and again found myself instructing and assisting fellow students and family members in various subjects; particularly history. I am a goal oriented person. I was 15 years old on my first day of college. I received an AS emphasis in Japanese from Utah Valley University. I graduated with a BA in International Business from Vanguard University. I am currently in the midst of my final semester of my MFA in producing at Chapman University. I believe in a life long pursuit of knowledge; a belief I have tried to impart to everyone I come in contact with. I believe in teaching my students HOW to think, not WHAT to think. Ou

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.
