I have about 20 years of one-on-one teaching experience working with all types of aspiring guitarists. I have been playing for 30 years, and have performed close to one thousand times in various small jazz groups, both as a leader and a sideman. I have also sustained original rock projects and played in large ensembles. I have produced large scale concert events and handled the booking for several music venues. I make sure each student receives a real music education and becomes comfortable with a music theory foundation, I expose all students to reading and encourage them to become good readers, which will set them apart from many guitar players out there. A good portion of the lessons focus on repertoire, with the student choosing the majority of the material.

I have been working with children both in the classroom and out to excel their knowledge of mathematics. I have been a tutor, a teacher aide, and have student taught at the high school and elementary level. I have both experience in one on one tutoring as well as group (5+). Group tutoring is always been something that I like due to the other children helping each other out. Student to student teaching is something that I believe highly in and have learned a lot about this with a program called AVID tutors. My teaching style is show the child what they have to do and then have them do it with my help and then have them do it without my help.

Differentiation is essential in my job, and I believe every student learns in their own unique way.

1st 30 min lesson is FREE!

I have taught nursing students for 3 years, before that I tutored RN students. I started in the clinical setting. There nursing students learn everything from the basic skills, and how to become comfortable with patients so quality assessments can be made, and subtle changes can be seen. From there skills grow into competent actions in care. In classroom teaching and tutoring students are given activities to match book learning for practical application of subject matter. Your notes become power, and the facts become applicable to the nursing practice. I make the subject relevant in a relaxed, question encouraged setting so students leave feeling like they gained valuable knowledge. Interactive, relaxed style that has proven results using funny terms, organization of thoughts, clinical scenarios, and straight up memorization. You are an active participant in constructing your memories th

I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I love being able to help students feel comfortable with the material they are studying. I have tutored numerous times throughout college, and would like to get back into tutoring students because I find it to be rewarding. As a student who went from living in Germany and being taught that there are many ways of getting the right answer, to moving to America where everything is taught in one way, I have learned to incorporate my tutoring skills to the need of each individual student. I try to figure out what works best for every individual and help them focus on their strength and improve their weaknesses. My teaching style depends on the student. I am comfortable with trying different study methods in order to figure out why my student is having trouble with a particular subject.
