Piano Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Riverton, UT

Hello, my name is Lauren and I absolutely love tutoring! I have tutored since I was in high school (about 5 years of experience total)and more recently have worked as a Peer Tutor at Westminster College, as well as teaching private voice and piano lessons. As a biology major, I'm most experienced in science and math related areas, particularly general biology, general chemistry, statistics, algebra, and geometry. I am also very qualified to tutor ACT and SAT test prep, as I scored extremely high in all areas of the two tests, earning a 34 on the ACT and a 2190 on the SAT. I'm also qualified to tutor in several humanities areas, especially writing-a skill strongly emphasized by Westminster's intensive and selective Honors Program. I have also taken AP tests in English Literature (5), Human Geography (5), European History (4), and American History (4) and IB tests in English (6) a

Since earning my Bachelors Degree from the University of Utah in Music Composition I have produced a Christmas album of piano arrangements, and original songs. It was played on two local radio stations, and will soon be available on cdbaby.net, itunes, amazon, facebook etc. I composed, produced, recorded, and edited the score for a movie entitled "The Measure of a Man: the story of Charles Coulsen Rich, Apostle of God" produced by Lee Groberg and Mark Goodman. My teaching style consist of using a variety of learning technique and atmospheres. It is a good idea to study the habits and styles of other composers, classical and modern to get an idea of how that compares to the student's style. Writing or composing sample songs based on someone else's style is a good idea, such as Beethoven, or David Newman, etc. Using theory practice is useful, but doesn't necessarily define a composer.

I have a masters in Second Language Teaching specialty- Russian from BYU. I also served an LDS mission in Russia (Rostov-na-Donu mission) where I lived for 18 months speaking, living, and interacting with Russians every day. I have been tutoring students in Russian for 5 years and have taught Russian at BYU for 2 years. I love this language and know how to teach according to different learning styles. Every student has a different learning style and I therefore, have multiple teaching styles to accommodate. I believe in learning through experience and therefore provide my students with real-life examples and tasks to complete so that they are more able to function in Russian settings. I also include learning of Russian culture in my teaching because understanding culture is important to understanding language. Activities are engaging and not simply rote memorization.

My teaching style is to be supportive and of course helpful; but most importantly, a great listener. children will improve of they are be listened to, not always being taught to. I worked at a girls scout camp as a counselor. I taught these girls many things about life and about the importance of learning and improving yourself. I have been a counselor at an elementary school and helped in the classroom. Also, I have have been a babysitter for years and helped children with school work, piano, dancing, and much more.

I love seeing people learn. I love the look in a student's eye when they think about something in a way they've never thought about it before. I love to facilitate that type of learning because it brings me great satisfaction. I especially love to work with children because they are so willing to learn and they absorb information so quickly. I am grateful for amazing teachers and dedicated parents who helped me with my education when I was young, and I want to pass that on to other children. Ever since I was a young girl, I have loved learning. This passion for learning new things has given me the motivation to earn my Bachelor's degree in Humanities (emphasis: Music) as well as my Master's degree in Comparative studies. Through the writing and publication of my thesis, I have gained valuable experience editing, researching, and proofreading as well as learning analytical and critical th

I graduated from the University of Utah in Piano Performance in May 2007 with a 3.79 GPA and am fluent in Spanish. I won first place in Music Theory at the University of Utah Summer Arts Piano Competition in 2005. I have been teaching private piano lessons in my home since August 2001. I am also a composer, arranger, and producer. I teach a classical base to all of my piano students. The method books Faber and Alfred are the books I use the most often. I supplement my teaching with ear training and pop music chord reading. I work with my students to achieve their musical goals whether it is to achieve a certain level of proficiency with classical performance, play a certain piece, or read from lead sheets.

The hallmark of my teaching style is patience. If students do not immediately grasp a concept, I accept and relish the challenge of finding a way to reach through the barrier. I have found my greatest success is achieved when foundational concepts are built or re-built. A step-by-step approach usually works best, but I have developed great flexibility from working with students who function across a wide range of learning challenges. The early years of my experience were in the junior high setting. I taught sixth through ninth grade during this time, drawing heavily on my background strengths in theater, literature, grammar, creative writing, and my years as a legal secretary. I developed curriculum for the English department and was instrumental in launching an exploratory study system for alternative, creative learning. For the last twelve years, I have taught basic writing for the

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. I have tutored students one-on-one, taught fourth grade overseas, and have taught first grade for the past eight years. I have taught Reading Recovery, working one-on-one with first graders on reading skills. I have also taught piano lessons.

As a recent graduate of BYU in Business Management (finance emphasis) I have been able to show excellence in my own school work. I have a major GPA of 3.85 (including many Accounting and Finance classes) as well as receiving a 4.0 while taking the “finance core” classes. Receiving a score of “5” on both the Calculus AB and BC tests during high school prepared me for college. Previous tutoring includes training new workers for employment positions (including a customer service representative and a restaurant position). While serving a 2-year mission for the LDS church I was able to train other missionaries. Much of this training included a personalized one-on-one teaching of how to approach, teach, and perform the necessary work. I believe you can only help the student learn if you are willing to take time to "bend down" to their understanding and help lift them up. As a person that

I want to help those who may not otherwise speak, vocalize their own narratives and cultural idiosyncrasies through discovery of literature and language. Empathy, which is vital to tutoring, is as vital, if not more, to teaching. I not only do my best to usher students gently through the writing process, I shut up and listen to their stories. To see a student light up at that moment of realization when they finally understand a concept, or to watch their fear for English melt just a little bit, is, for me, an immeasurable honor. I like making people laugh, and I like when students feel I am there as not only a gentle voice of authority, but as a friend, too. I have served as a Writing Tutor with UVU for five years now, tutoring in all genres. In April I will graduate with my BS in English and Creative Writing.

I have experience working with students from many different backgrounds and cultures. I find that patience, friendliness, and genuine care and concern for the student yield the greatest results. I like to take different approaches to subjects, especially when the first try is not understood very well. My ultimate goal with teaching and tutoring is to enable the student to be able to teach the subject to others. Students are able to learn best by doing. I want them to assimilate the knowledge and apply it to their daily lives. My experience in academic and service pursuits have consistently improved my education and abilities to transfer knowledge. I have earned a BA in Latin American Studies with a minor in Business Administration. My training in the sciences includes the prerequisite classes for acceptance to dental schools and extra training in cellular biology. I have particip

I was first introduced to accounting by owning my own business. Then I was hired by an engineering company to update their bookkeeping method from paper to computer. I became proficient in troubleshooting discrepancies and providing users with solutions. I interfaced with Federal and State taxing agencies, banks, and lending institutions requiring reports and/or payments. I then moved on to a Software Development company as a Product Manager of accounting software being developed for internet use by accountants. I trained and answered questions, wrote newsletters, prepared marketing materials and taught at seminars. I became a mentor and troubleshooter for the software users. I love teaching. Currently I am working with adults in debt management and financial counseling. Money management is critical to the survival of a family and easily sabotaged by impulse spending. I most enjoy o

My most important quality for tutoring is a passion for education. I believe that good learning is based in appreciating the value of the subject matter, and when I teach I strive to make the material relevant to the student. Even students with great willpower do not learn very effectively when they are not interested in the material. I also teach with analogies and comparisons. People learn best by seeing similarities and differences between new concepts and concepts they are familiar with. Even the most difficult concepts can become clear when illuminated by good analogies and comparisons. Many students do not realize that they are just as capable as other students but need to approach the subject from a different angle. I have been very successful throughout school. I'm a Presidential Scholar, Toyota Scholar, Gordon B. Hinckley Scholar, and a Chicago Tribune Scholar. I've ta
