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

I've been playing piano for almost 12 years, taking lessons for about 10 years. I've taught a few students in my lifetime--with different level ranges (from beginner to more advanced levels). Back when I was still competing, I've only played 1st and 2nd in all my competitions, nothing less. A few years back, I outgrew all my competitors in my level and was not allowed to compete anymore, so I became one of the judges in the competition. I am a patient tutor, and all my piano students have shown positive and obvious results. As a tutor, I make sure my students master certain aspects of piano before moving on, but at the same time, be able to have fun and play whatever they like. My tutoring methods change per student because everyone has a different way of learning how to play piano and require different methods of being taught. While many tutors and teachers just teach to earn mo

I come from a family of teachers and, like my parents, I enjoy helping others and reaching the end goal of aiding a student in attaining their own aspirations both long and short term. I understand the difficulties and frustrations that often accompany learning, however I believe that with the right positive reinforcements all students can overcome any hurdle and achieve academic success. In addition, these academic success are the kindling to creating a growing fire of self-motivation which can last a lifetime. I want to help all students in anyway possible to find the academic switch that inspires them to continue to learn and better themselves. As a recent college graduate with a BA in Spanish and a BA in International Affairs, I possess current experiences from my studies in the United States, Europe and South America. Since attending college in Spain and Argentina I understand w

I love to teach. I feel a tremendous amount of satisfaction when I help a student understand important concepts, build confidence, reach academic goals, and learn to enjoy the process of learning. I believe that there are three key qualities to being a great teacher. First, great teachers help make students feel comfortable and confident so that learning can take place. In short, great teachers make learning fun. Second, a great teacher is an expert in explaining complex concepts and skills in a way that students can fully understand them. Third, a great teacher is a strong motivator and encourager. I believe that I possess these three important qualities, and I use them well to help my students achieve academic success. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Indiana State University in the field of mathematics education, graduating with a 4.00 GPA. Since graduating, I have w

Statement of Teaching Style I feel that all learners should have access to the highest quality education possible. The object of education is to provide each student with the tools that will help them develop their individual talents. All students should be given an opportunity in a safe educational setting to demonstrate their talents. This opportunity also means giving every student a chance to show their full potential. Instructors must have a pleasant and enthusiastic attitude. Instructors must be accepting of all students regardless of ethnic background or other personal factors. An instructor should use a variety of instructional methods and delivery techniques to facilitate the learning process. I am an experienced Educator at both the secondary and post secondary levels. While teaching at Puyallup High School I received two awards for excellence for my work with special n

As a former military child, I have learned to adapt very quickly to any situation and believe every experience is a learning one. I have worked with both military and non-military with my duties in some jobs included helping people with software and computer skills. My undergraduate degree in Mass Communications strengthened my ability to communicate effectively and sparked further interest in education. Since my graduation in 2003, I've completed over 60 units of college classes. I am currently working on a second degree, in Nursing. Exposure to the sciences and many other classes that require extensive reading, critical thinking, communication through discussions and writing papers has prepared me for a tutoring position such as this. I am a believer of diversity. I don't believe that learning is "One size fits all". I am aware that children come from a variety of backgrounds and th
