Learning can be fun!!

When tutoring, I strive to make lessons engaging, effective and enjoyable. Specifically, I tailor lessons according to an individual student's needs and involve students in a dialogue by asking questions that provoke thought, conversation, and perhaps humor. Because facts and figures are easily looked up in the information age, I place particular emphasis on thinking and on "learning how to learn". My teaching goals for any student are threefold: 1. learn the material (well!) 2. pass the test/subject (with a comfortable margin!), and 3. enjoy it (most challenging with math!).
I love learning and teaching alike. My first teaching experience was in high school when I helped teach inner city children how to swim. Following high school, I earned a bachelor's degree in genetics at UC Berkeley, during which time I worked as a teacher's assistant for a genetics professor. While in m ... read more

Need Piano Lessons?

I am a 19 year old college student who is living in Murrieta for the next few summer months, and attends Cal State Fullerton. I have taken piano lessons for over 11 years now, and have a few years experience in teaching/tutoring in piano. My major concentration in college is Studio Art, and have also had experience in teaching art classes through M.A.D. Studio. Through experience in college and high school, I am also very familiar with Microsoft Office programs, and have helped those who are struggling in the newer editions of these MS programs.
My teaching style is not entirely concrete, for I feel that it depends on the maturity of the student and willingness to learn the subject at hand. I am very patient when I need to be, and my main goal is to simply make sure each student walks away knowing what they needed to learn.

To bring unity and clarity through sharing knowledge

I have a total of 7 years of teaching experience. From 2010-2013, I worked as an enrichment counselor for the Pomona Unified School District. This job required me to create lesson plans and manage a class of 20 students for 3 hours a week, 5 days a week. From 2013-2015, I worked for the Chino Unified School District's AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program. In this job, I offered life readiness and college readiness skills and tutored various common core subjects to groups of 5 Jr. high and high school students. I networked myself through the AVID program, and began my freelance tutoring services in math and science. I had to leave the AVID program in 2015 to pursue a very important job opportunity to work as a Music Assistant for a program called " The Music Immersion Experience" (MIE), located in San Gabriel. In this job, I assisted with classroom set up, tuning of ... read more

First, the students must be eager to learn; second, must enjoy their lesson time; and do not need coaxing to practice. Many of my former students and their familes are still in touch, after forty years! Also, the teacher must be likable and admired--in which case the students are eager to please and will do their best. I believe strongly in a friendly and patient approach in order to achieve maximum results. The students will feel that they are having fun with their music; and their progress will give them confidence in themselves.

A Little Bit About Me...

I always enjoy working with children. Each child has unique skills, needs, and background and I try to adjust my teaching style accordingly. I have worked with students of all ages and abilities and from diverse backgrounds and so have learned to "tune-in" to the situation at hand and improvise if need be. I am patient and yet am not afraid to push a little if the situation seems appropriate. All of the students I have worked with seemed to have benefitted by this approach. Knowledge is never crammed in from the outside but drawn out from within. Seeing the growth of interest and intelligence in the child makes me feel that I have contributed something of worth to humanity and to myself.
I have studied philosophy at UC Berkeley and UC Riverside (where I received my BA). I excel in math, science, and English. My reading, grammar and writing skills are quite storng. I ... read more

I have a funny sense of humor and an easy-going nature that make me very approachable to children. I am passionate about educating children and I believe that every child has a unique way of learning and possesses unique talents. I am able to build a rapport with students and I believe that learning should be fun! Students learn in different ways, so I find the way a child learns best and I consistently teach them that way. Children need to be praised to feel they are doing well. This will keep them on the road to a bright future!

Teaching is one of my passions, and I intend to teach at the college level after obtaining my M.S. My fourth grade teacher sparked my love of science at an early age; she was so excited about the material and invested in us that we couldn't help but learn. This experience instilled in me a desire to share my passion for academia, specifically chemistry and biology, with others. I believe that a passionate, invested teacher can do much to influence and encourage students. Because of my familiarity with the sciences, I am able to explain one concept in many different ways. I like to guide my students and help teach them to think for themselves. I believe that this will ultimately equip them to be successful in all their future endeavors.
During my undergraduate career, I was a teaching assistant for Physical Science and General Biology for two years. My responsibilities included teac ... read more

I am patient, understanding, and trustworthy. I am a firm believer in perseverance and learning from ones mistakes in order to grow as an individual, as is portrayed by one of my favorite quotes: “Life is like photography – it takes the negatives to develop”. Due to my training and experience in school, I can quickly change my teaching and counseling methods to best fit what the student needs. All children have the potential to do well in school – they just need to be given that chance.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching all children. I’m skilled at matching my teaching methods to each child’s abilities and making learning fun. I am available to help your child find academic or musical success. I’m patient and easy going, but make sure children finish their work. I use an incentive system to reward hardworking students and share their successes with their parents. As a music teacher, I instruct children in classical and jazz, music theory, sight reading, ear-training techniques and keyboard skills. I model playing techniques and hold family recitals so children gain performance experience and their parents can share their musical growth with others. I use age appropriate games to teach basic skills so that my students progress more quickly.
I think education is crucial to life’s success. Earning 2 degrees has given me lots of writing/reading experience, and knowledge of music perfo ... read more

I am a very one on one type of person. I want to make sure the child understands on their level of thinking, which might mean using what they use on a daily basis to explain clearer. Depending on the age of the child and what subject that needs to be taught will depend on which way I will attack the situation.

All ages can benefit from tutoring. I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults. I have a good sense of humor and encourage students to view the world from different angles. I am persistent and determined which means I do not give up on anyone. Learning can be entertaining and that is the best way to inspire a student to go forward with enthusiasm.
My teaching experience has been in the corporate world, where I was responsible for training and teaching employees both basics and advanced techniques in the broadcast field of advertising.

I taught English as a second language to adults and children in Austria and Germany while living there (total 4 years). I speak fluent German and lived in Europe for a total of 13 years. In LA, I taught english to a number of Korean and Japanese young adults. I taught at Inlingua and WIFI Institute in Austria and at a business english school in Hamburg.
We play word games, read out loud, discuss cartoons and ask each other questions/answers. Try to vary up the hour. I am a very patient teacher and try to assess if the student is understanding all that I am teaching. I ask plenty of questions and try to get them to communicate with me and others in the group, if it's a class situation.

Having a love and appreciation for good education, I received my BS in Business Administration with an emphasis in accounting, and my MBA, both from accredited universities. For a short time just after college I taught beginning piano lessons and typing. For 18 years I worked as a portfolio manager in an investment firm, where I actively used my business math and accounting skills to analyze investment and account level performance.

I have recently and successfully passed the CBEST and the CSET with high marks on both. My favorite subjects to teach are reading and math.
