You can do it!! and I can help you do it better!

Music performance is an ongoing education, shaped by education, experience, and the customer's need for private and public performances, or even recordings. Writing also takes practice and experience to perfect the balance needed to express both logic and emotion in words. Simple business correspondence, a newspaper article, or even a research paper can be used to clearly send your message. Music and writing are both ways a person expresses what is going on inside in relation to an experience or a collection of experiences. Whether in a group, as an accompanist or soloist, your audience can feel what you feel. Being in tune with yourself as a person is key to expressing the clearest message possible; as a learner, a teacher, or even a musician.

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 homeschooling. I taught Earth and Life Sciences, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and II, Geometry, Grammar, Vocabulary, English Composition, British and American Literature, Geography, American and World History, Ethics, Social Studies, Government, Sign Language, and Bible. Studying French from 3rd grade through college back East and having friends who are French here in California has allowed me to remember the basics for the last thirty years.
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. C ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The art of teaching is contingent upon your audience, your students. I believe that as a teacher, it is critical that I adjust and modify my teaching style to match those of my students that I am teaching. I am a firm believer that the success of our students' learning lies upon how well you know your students. Therefore, I have many diverse teaching styles to embrace the different learning styles and modalities of the many student populations that I've worked with (English Learners, students in special education, & students from different cultural backgrounds and socioeconomic levels). Every child has the potential to learn and it is up to the teacher to orchestrate and guide the child towards those learning opportunities.
As a teacher, my goal has always been to increase student achievement. I've taught 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th grade. Although my concentration has been mostly ... read more

I am patient, understanding, and trustworthy. I am a firm believer in perseverance and learning from ones mistakes in order to grow as an individual, as is portrayed by one of my favorite quotes: “Life is like photography – it takes the negatives to develop”. Due to my training and experience in school, I can quickly change my teaching and counseling methods to best fit what the student needs. All children have the potential to do well in school – they just need to be given that chance.
I took music lessons for over 10 years, and can empathize with students as they learn and practice. I have one year experience in tutoring 4th graders in math and English, and have one year experience in tutoring elementary students in music theory and education. As a nutrition student and future dietitian, part of job includes counseling patients on nutrition and a healthy diet. This often ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In addition to B.A. degrees in Mathematics and Psychology, I have experience as a Software Engineer, a Pharmacy Technician, and a Professional Musician. I have tutored children from ages 14 to 18 in English, Mathematics, History, and Music over a period of two years. I have provided them with an excellent role model for dealing with friends, teachers, employers, and other social contacts in the future.
My teaching style is totally interactive. I plan each lesson before initiating it with the student. I first inform the student what will be covered in the lesson, and then question him or her to determine background knowledge and capability. At each step of the lesson, after presenting the material, I ask the student questions to determine the resultant level of understanding, and after the lesson is completed, I give a test to document the results. I keep a diary of the intera ... read more
