Vocals is one of my top subjects! Lessons will center around developing a rich, flexible, and even vocal apparatus through the utilization of Western European classical singing techniques.

I am a bass-baritone operatic singer, pupil of Latvian Bass-Baritone Paul Bekolds at Calarts. I have had the pleasure of premiering numerous works, among them being a commissioned song set and an operatic role written for my voice. I have performed extensively at Calarts in numerous operas and singing groups, both faculty and student run. My training at Calarts involves an in depth study of the voice. Whereas UC's require 2 years of general education before music can be studied in depth, Calarts' program involves deep musical study from the first day, effectively giving the Calarts student 4 years of singing training compared to the UC student's 2 years.
I am a passionate, optimistic, and empowering teacher (okay, maybe a little goofy too). I hope to rid students of self defeating thought processes and unproductive/unfounded personal critique. Students will learn to listen to mu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Although I have worked mostly in Film and Television since graduating from University, I returned to the University of LaVerne in Athens, Greece in 2004 to tutor foreign students in essay writing and to help hem with their entrance exams. I worked there part-time (3 days a week) for 2 years. I continued tutoring 2 students privately for another year. In 2009 I tutored after-school English at DeAnza Middle School in Ventura for approximately 6 months.
I am a very caring teacher. I love to use humor and encouragement in the hopes that the students will feel inspired to continue and flourish in their writing, even after our time together is over. I believe in children and their ability to acheive anything, and try to relay that message to them in a fun and patient way. I love to see the spark ignite in the eyes of someone who has achieved something they didn't know they could.

My objective as an educator is to be a compass that enlightens young minds, guiding them to discover hidden talents and deepen existing gifts. Mastery is best achieved through active learning, giving students a variety of individualized tools to measure, evaluate, and contribute to their global world. Students grasp the big picture better when ideas are linked across disciplines and connected to personal experience. Awakening knowledge in this way is my vocation.
Interlochen Arts Academy unlocked the artist within me. Their educational styles and values continue to inspire me as an educator. Hope College and continuing education furthers me with a variety of tools to design curriculum. Versatility together with concentrations in both Painting and Clay, an appreciation for the liberal arts, diversified cultural environments, and vivid discourses have guided me to point out new dir ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My degrees are in elementary education and special education. I have worked as a self-contained special education teacher, a resource teacher, and as a music specialist. I am also a published author and could help an upper grade student to improve his or her writing and composition skills.
I enjoy motivating children--especially those who have been struggling to succeed. I like to discover a child's strengths and help him or her to use them to succeed. My goal is to make a child feel better about himself and experience success!
