Musical is one of my top subjects! I am fluent in music theory, music history, ear training, sight reading, jazz theory, jazz history, and improvisation.

It varies depending on the needs of the student. I am patient, but meticulous when it comes to music. I am very open about my philosophy that music is hard work, but also is a ton of fun.
I served as lead tenor saxophonist for the 56th Army Band Ft Lewis WA from 2000-2004. My musical diversity landed me in concert band, big band, jazz combo, Dixie-land band, Latin jazz combo, show band(pop/rock), among others. I received a jazz merit scholarship to play 1st tenor for UCO's top jazz band. I have been recognized for outstanding musicianship by the International Association of Jazz Educators multiple times. I have had the pleasure of performing with a Grammy Award winning Jazz Vocalist, and several other giants in the jazz business. I have tutored numerous students over the last 15 years along my military and educational pursuits.

More About This Tutor...

I have loved education since I was a child, and being the daughter of two educators gave me a lot of early learning opportunities. I have a Bachelor's of Science in Education from Northeastern State Univeristy. I was a para professional for 5 years and worked with special education classrooms, then I taught for 5 years. I taught Pre-K and 2nd Grade, and I loved it.
I believe all children can learn. What I have learned is that tapping into an aspect of the child's interest and using that to build the foundation for their learning is the best way to teach. Piaget called the idea that kids learn by building upon what they already know "constructivism," and I consider myself a constructivist. I also believe that a teacher's attitude makes all the difference. I became a teacher to make a difference, and I am willing to do whatever I can to tap into a child's potential! All kids ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have had a wide range of teaching experiences. I have taught in the public school as well as private school. I have tutored children from the grades of kindergarten through fourth grade. I have taught overseas as well where the population was mainly Asian students.
I like the one on one aspect of tutoring. I enjoy teaching, but I really like tutoring because I get to know the child and am able to help him/her with his or her specific area of need. I like to make learning fun by playing learning games with the student. I am a Christian and I believe all children are unique and have their own abilities. I believe a child can accomplish anything to the best of their ability if he or she puts his or her all into it. I want to see children succeed and feel confident in who they are as a person.

I believe that all students learn differently and should be treated as so; with this being said i believe that each student should work at their own pace and should be helped to find strategies that help them learn.
I currently have a bachelors degree in sociology with a minor in elementary education. During the past 4 years and working in the early childhood education industry I realized that many teachers were not getting the proper training that they needed to receive to help the children that they are serving. Once I realized this I decided to work on my Master's degree in Early Childhood Education in hopes that i could be an Early Childhood College Professor and teach students the ins and outs of the early childhood industry. While getting my bachelors degree I tutored in subjects such as reading,writing, math, and science as well as art.

After graduating with a 4.0 from the University of Oklahoma, I began my graduate work in mathematics. As a G.A., I had the experience of teaching and tutoring at the college level. During the past two years, I have taught 10 sections of miscellaneous classes, covering 5 different courses. Over the course of the past two years, I've easily had over a hundred hours of tutoring time. In addition to my two math degrees and minor in religious studies, I also have a good background in music theory, piano, and organ. I play for two separate churches each Sunday and have previously given lessons.
Teaching is a means to find a student's misconceptions and correct them. I try to do this by engaging the students in conversation, asking them leading questions, or watching them work. I try to build classroom bonds, making communication easier. Once the students feel comfortable, it is e ... read more

Though I have one more semester before graduating, I have completed all of my coursework in Philosophy and all but one course in both my Mathematics and History of Science minors. Studying philosophy has given me experience with critical and precise thinking. Furthermore, most of my courses have been research and writing oriented, so I have a thorough knowledge of grammar and essay writing. Finally, I am well-versed in Mathematics, being just one course shy of a minor. I have maintained perfect grades through Calculus IV and keep up with that knowledge regularly.
I have tutored non-professionally for some time. Doing so has provided me with experience with a variety of students ranging from the first grade level to college freshman. I cater accordingly to each level of student, always exercising patience and approaching topics from multiple angles. I understand that some students a ... read more

As a graduate in Education with a 3.84 grade point, I strive for excellence in everything that I do. I have taken some graduate classes in child psychology and human physiology to gain a better understanding of the children that I will be working with and teaching. I have taught in a private school for 3 years and the public elementary school system for 4.
Every child has something to contribute to our community if only given the opportunity and tools to do so. Children can learn whether they are visual, kinesthetic, or auditory learners. It's my goal to teach to their strengths and abilities. I am positive, flexible, and eager to teach the skills and knowledge to be successful. With their curiosity they will ask their own questions and I will be there to nurture their discoveries. My goal is to be a motivator and an educator; a mentor and an advocate; a positive force and a gui ... read more
