As a Literacy Professional, I have a decade of experience teaching adults to read. My specialty was in showing volunteer tutors how to teach dyslexic adults and adolescents. I was instrumental in establishing both the first Workplace ESL program in Carson and in supporting dropouts in the community. When I left the program to do research, I had satellite programs running from Lomita to Inglewood.
I am a direct teacher. I look for what works and try not to use what doesn't work for too long. Especially when dealing with dyslexics, too much "teaching" has led to failure. I like nothing better than to grapple with a problem until it is resolved. This may imply that I am a more tactile learner myself, but I have seen that I am balanced on all three major learning style fronts. My students have noted that I give good, if off-beat, examples which stick in their heads. These odd- ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I evaluate the student and see where he/she stands and move forward in progressing their skill. Every instrument is different and difficult in its own way. I will teach the student the most productive way to practice by using the technique I learned by professors and professional musicians. For trumpet, I work on the embochure, and breathing. For violin, I evaluate the way the student holds the instrument including posture. I use a special tape to help guide with the notes which I use as training wheels, and take them down one at a time as the student progresses. The student learns at his/her pace and will vary by the amount of practice he/she puts into it.
In 1997 I was a teacher assistant for the Huntington Park High School music department. I ran rehearsals with the marching band, jazz band, jazz choir, beginning orchestra, and beginning band. In April of 2000 I started ... read more
