My teaching style varies from student to student based on playing level, musical interests, and personality. I use a mix of method books and aural learning techniques. The student's musical priorities always come first! I have been playing music my whole life. I began playing piano at six years old, saxophone at ten, bass guitar at thirteen, and guitar at fourteen. Throughout my high school career I played a variety of rock band gigs on guitar, bass, and keyboards; I also played a variety of jazz gigs on saxophone. Currently I am a music student at William Paterson University, and am graduating this May with a degree in Jazz Saxophone Performance.

As a student who has dabbled in so many areas, it is easy for me to assess when a teacher/professor is not explaining a concept in a method that helps the students. I have previous experience tutoring, but my teaching talent comes from my role as the unofficial tutor for most of my classes. I can see why students are missing the concept and I am creative enough to devise new approaches. I am a successful graduate of Susquehanna University, having earned a BA in International Studies. This study of cultural anthropology allowed me ample experience with writing, grammar, and research. I will be attending Rutgers University next year to earn a Master of Science degree in Microbiology. I am very experienced in the subjects of Biology, Chemistry, and Math on all levels. In addition to my devotion to the sciences, I have maintained an advanced-conversational level of fluency in French and an a

I was trained academically at PAFA to draw and paint still life, landscape, the human figure but as a child, my Mother introduced me to painting in the tub with newsprint taped to walls, with tempra paint in baby food jars to express myself. I love teaching young children but have worked with all ages, from tots to elders. I believe in teaching the process so that it is an experience of discovery and I provide a constructivist approach to learning, providing building blocks of information in lessons that provide tools for a strong foundation. I believe in teaching people how to learn and how to think. As a Graduate of The University of Pennsylvania,I was driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. Later, I attended PAFA as Graduate School, which is one of the finest art schools in the country. As a professional Artist, I gained business experience,while teaching at a va

I am a firm believer that every student has a unique way of learning. Every student is different and therefore no student should be taught the same. In my classroom I intertwine the works of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence with Dewey's Constructivism to create an interactive learning environment. It is a goal of mine to allow each student to show their ability in the best manner that they can. Through the philosophy I teach by, I feel I reach each student to address their own unique abilities and skills. During the course of my studies I have come across a quote that as a teacher I live by, "If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn." I have had various experiences from Pre-K through the middle school age, with a strong concentration in Language Arts at the primary level. I am Elementary School certified K-8 and I am Highly Qualified

I have a B.Mus. from Five Towns College. I have been actively involved in music almost all of my life. I've played in numerous groups of varied styles, at various venues. I also have a passion for learning and education, which has always led me to delving deeply into all subjects I have encountered, and excelling in advanced courses in math, music, history, etc. I tutored 20 hrs a week all throughout my college career, and have experience as a teacher's aide in a school for mentally and behaviorally challenged children. I also have been teaching private music lessons to dozens of students over the past four years. I love teaching students of all ages and abilities. I think it's important for the student to connect to the material in a personal way, and as a teacher it is my responsibility to help them discover how. With a strong connection, and proper guidance, the student is able

I feel comfortable and very much enjoy working with people ranging from children to college students. I approach teaching with energy and understanding and will always adapt my methods to different learning styles. I believe strongly in experiential learning. Therefore, I practice engaging my students with conversation, implementing practical-life contexts to our work, and manipulating visuals and materials for complementary comprehension. I come from a Montessori background and I frequently try to incorporate Montessori methods in my lessons. I consider myself an intuitive, compassionate, and shrewd teacher/tutor, and I try to make certain that all my students reach their study goals through my assistance. After rigorous study at a worldly and highly intellectual Liberal Arts College in Wisconsin, I learned to see and study people and their cultures with a critical eye. At Beloit Colle
