Read More About Matthew W...

I have spent most of my life in an academic environment. I thrive on success- not only my own, but also the success of others around me. I became a substitute teacher in order to gain experience as a classroom leader. Tutoring is a necessary duty of an educator. I believe a one on one environment is conducive to learning and retaining information; being able to receive direct feedback from an educator is one of the most valuable assets to a young learner.

I enjoy taking students' interests and style of music into consideration when planning instruction. I then back them up to show them how to get to the point of expertise to be able to perform that genre of music. I am also very interested in the history of music and what has led us to where we are today in music. I have a strong ear for music, but I also believe that sight reading and formal training is important. Young students seem ... read more

I thoroughly enjoy working with, teaching, and learning from children.

While attending Birmingham Southern College, I had several teaching experiences: I volunteered as a tutor at a nearby elementary school, tutored in my college's writing center, and worked for three summers as a camp counselor. After receiving a BA in English, I taught high school English conversation in Hungary for a year. My ultimate goal is to teach English at a university, but I love working with primary and secondary schoolers. Given my reading, writing, and editing experience (as well as my extensive experience working with children), I feel comfortabl ... read more
