My comments on tutoring Piano : I taught myself how to play the piano two years ago, so I know how to teach the piano to other beginners. I know how to teach the basics. And I am very passionate about playing the piano, I also know a lot of music theory.

I would say my teaching style is really focused on the student and what they need. In school I was an average student never getting lower than a C or higher than in an A. So I really want to focus on listening to the student, especially because they probably are not heard at school. I want to make each subject interesting to the student, whether that means going out and playing basketball or chess or candy or anything the student absolutely loves. I want to attach each subject to a good memory, I don't want to pressure them or push them to just memorize facts that I know they will probably forget after they are tested. From my own personal experience I want any student I tutor to turn around and actually enjoy learning about a subject they are having trouble with.

Piano is one of my top subjects!

Emphasis and understanding of the fundmental material is crucial, and I would focus more on simplifying how certain topics should be understood rather than over-complicating the problem.

A Little Bit About Me...

My energy, enthusiasm and passion for learning and teaching are unparalleled. I believe that all children learn differently. Therefore, I would not limit to one teaching style, and would adjust accordingly. My goal is to share my knowledge with children, providing the best eduction and leading them to academic success.

Throughout my academic life in UC Davis, I have devoted a great deal of time to analyze numerical and categorical data and have explored different statistical fields.

A Little Bit About Me...

I would describe my teaching style in terms of the activity, belaying. Slack is given to the rope at times so that the climber may advance, or traverse, the face of the mountain. When the climber feels tired, or incapable, the rope needs tightening so the climber stays secure. If the climber falls from the face of the mountain the taught rope will prevent injury or possible demise. I tend to give my students slack when I feel they are advancing in terms of curriculum, yet once I notice their tendency to rest, or falter, I tighten my teaching approach by using more straightforward methods so that they are not confused, or do not wear themselves out with struggle. This is all so they reach the top of whatever mountain they choose to conquer.
My bachelor's degree in English serves as an example for the effort and time committed to education and a service to academia. I learned literar ... read more

From 2003-08 I taught piano and tutored children and young adults in the Vancouver area in French, Language Arts, elementary Math, advanced ESL skills (writing, speaking, pronunciation, and grammar) in a one-on-one private setting. It was through a year-long experience as a foreign ESL teacher in Seoul, Korea (‘08-‘09) that I was truly able to learn effective and creative ways to engage classes and build great lessons from basic curriculum. Since 2009, I have taught piano and currently have 5 tutoring students, whom I tutor in advanced English pronunciation and grammar, college-level essay writing, elementary Math, elementary language arts, reading, and ESL skills. I also volunteer as an ESL tutor every week.
My tutoring style is accommodating yet focused. I am keenly interested in what is relevant to the student, especially when there is room for creativity and flexibility in o ... read more
