More About This Tutor...

I try to use various activities and techniques when teaching to keep students interested. This also helps them (and me) to determine the way(s) that they learn best. I also like to ask the students first what they think the answer is or how a problem should be approached before feeding them a solution. I encourage questioning and discussions at every turn. Overall, I want to create a friendly yet effective environment for optimal teaching and learning.

I taught private violin lessons to middle schoolers from the fall of 2010 through the summer of 2011, and I myself have received seven years of private instruction.

More About This Tutor...

My philosophy is primarily founded on the simple knowledge that learning is imperative; thus, I recognize the importance of ensuring that each student is taught the subject material and rigorously instructed how to learn the material. To meet this goal, I meet with a client to evaluate his/her learning skills and habits, goals, and knowledge of the particular subject matter. However, I also emphasize that he/she must be able to comprehend the particular demands of his/her instructor, as this knowledge is necessary to "get the grade". Thus, I review the student's notes and tests to determine instructor tendencies that will to better help the student succeed by emphasizing the most important matters of the instructor.

My strongest suit in my teaching style is probably the many ways that I would approach teaching a certain principle. If the student does not understand one way to approach a problem, I try to best to help them understand and learn another way. I feel like since everyone learns differently, a tutor should approach a problem from as many angles as possible. My teaching style is also very patient. I suppose the saying "give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man how to fish, feed him for a lifetime" would apply to my style. I try to make sure the student understands the principles behind the type of problem and not just how to do the one problem. That way, if they see another problem like the one they just learned, they can apply what the learned and do the second problem.

I use all kinds of methods to help a child to reach their optimal performance level. I assess the child's learning style and base strategies on how the child learns best.
