Blair C. - Fort Collins, CO 80521 (12.9 mi) - Piano Tutor - $12.50/hr.
I am most suited to teach beginning-intermediate students. For me, teaching isn't about pounding new material into their head, it's about helping them understand the material they're given and actually having fun learning. That's why my teaching style is all about fun and retention. I have many volunteer hours stacked up working with groups of children, but I would love to teach on a more personal basis to build my one-on-one skills. I'm currently an education major at Colorado State University, and while music is my emphasis, I was always very studious in school and am well-versed in other subjects. I have received numerous academic and artistic awards, some (such as being named a Texas Music Scholar) encompass both.

Emma C. - Fort Collins, CO 80521 (12.9 mi) - Piano Tutor - $30.00/hr.
I prefer working one-on-one or in small groups with students. I am patient and caring, and these qualities are especially brought out when I am working with children and young adults. I recently graduated from Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania. During my four years there I became involved in various activities and volunteer opportunities working with children. I was a reading tutor for America Reads, a volunteer in a Head Start program, and completed numerous community art projects, including murals, with local children.

Nathaniel B. - Boulder, CO 80303 (35 mi) - Piano Tutor - $40.00/hr.
During my time at Colorado College, I worked as a chemistry tutor helping my younger peers traverse the challenging General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry course loads. But because of CC's rigorous alternative schedule--where you take one class at a time, for one month each class--it's necessary to learn to pick up new concepts very quickly, I often found myself being asked for help in classes I myself was taking. I never minded this, because being forced to explain something is the best way to ensure your own understanding of the concept. That is why I try to avoid directly answering questions my students ask me, instead dropping hints and asking questions of my own that guide the student to their own answer, in their own words. My favorite part about teaching is the moment of sudden understanding that you can see in a student's eyes when they've got it. The challenge, of course, is ge

Jill K - Evans, CO 80620 (10.8 mi) - Piano Tutor - $37.00/hr.
Children have different ways of learning. It might be visual, audio, or hands on. I learn about the child to try to establish his / her learning style. With this I can individualize my teaching style to each student.
I believe all children want to learn, it's just learning what is the best way for them to learn and keeping the child motivated to learn. I am a certified teacher in Colorado. I graduated from University of Northern Colorado with a BA in education, majoring in PE. I also have a degree in Business / Accounting. I have taught Accounting, Business, Computer applications, and Math courses at a community college. I can tutor Accounting, Business courses, financial math, middle school math, high school math, algebra, geometry and other courses. I also can tutor in computer science, including Office 2007, Quickbooks, Microsoft XP / Vista and other computer application courses. I

Molly H - Eaton, CO 80615 (12.6 mi) - Piano Tutor - $45.50/hr.
After graduating with a degree in Chemistry Education I went off to teach. Six years of professional teaching experience later there are few teaching challenges that I have come up against and not found a working solution to.
Native tribes learning math and science, migrant children studying Earth Science, an adult looking for help with some chemistry problems, or an Expeditionary Learning student looking to tackle real world problems; whatever your background or needs I can help.
I also have experience teaching college level laboratories, and have a deep passion for helping students grasp the ideas behind chemistry, physics and biology. I have taught straight skills based lessons, created thematic units that take you across the globe and brought students out into the world to explore problems and challenges like professionals.

Emily H - Longmont, CO 80501 (20 mi) - Piano Tutor - $40.00/hr.
My tutoring style is that of thorough explanation. I don't give the answers but, rather, coach the individual to determine the answers on his/her own and then provide the theory as to why the answer is correct. I am very compassionate, cheerful, and outgoing, and those personality traits, as well as my passion for learning, teaching and interacting with children of all ages come through in my instruction. I don't think any questions are stupid or unnecessary; rather, I welcome and encourage questioning, as I feel that doing so is an integral part of the learning process. My only formal tutoring experience was during my high school years as a reading tutor for middle school students attending an at-risk school in Tulsa, OK. That said, I have guided, mentored and coached countless fellow students during my college career as well as professionals who have worked either with or for me du

Stephen H - Lochbuie, CO 80603 (29.7 mi) - Piano Tutor - $40.50/hr.
My teaching style could be described as modified Montessorian, in an attempt to appeal to all the senses, and to affect the learning channels of each student as a unique individual. Encouragement is lavished on even the adult students, and not all errors are equally vital to correct on an immediate basis. One observing any one of my classes could feel definitely "drawn in" if so desired. My experience in paid teaching (excluding numerous volunteer and non-paid opportunities) range from teaching Vietnamese refugee "boat-people" children (news film footage archived by Vanderbilt University) in 1975 through years of Orange County (CA) adult education in English as a Second Language to my present duties in metro Denver of teaching immigrant adults in English as a Second Language. Along the way, I also experienced fulltime day teaching of a kindergarten class in Fresno and a combined 7th-8th

Linda T - Estes Park, CO 80517 (31.9 mi) - Piano Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I earned a BA in Music from the University of California, Los Angeles where I also completed a post-graduate year required for a California life-time teaching credential. I am an experienced classroom teacher (3rd/4th LA City Schools and Casablanca, Morocco) as well as music specialist (LA City Schools) and piano teacher (California/Colorado). I also have solid work experience as an administrative assistant with Hewlett-Packard and later as an Information Technology II employee at Colorado State University.

As a teacher I am sequential in learning points, and creative in presentation. I am good at finding first the 'starting point' enabling the student to better relate to the lesson. I can usually discover a reason

Ian M - Boulder, CO 80305 (33.6 mi) - Piano Tutor - $41.00/hr.
As both a nationally certified rehabilitation counselor and a former teacher, I have a unique perspective with regard to the tutoring process. Similar to counseling, the ultimate goal of tutoring is to facilitates students' understanding of their learning style and to ultimately increase autonomy and self-sufficiency. This philosophy differs from others in that the goal of tutoring is not simply to help the child learn academic material and complete assignments; rather, tutoring serves as a means to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the self and how idiosyncrasies influence individuals' unique learning styles. My experience in both teaching and counseling has imbued a deep understanding of the importance of individual differences and its influence on the learning process. As a rehabilitation counselor, my expertise lie in my work with individuals with disabilities, particularl

Michael G - Westminster, CO 80020 (34.7 mi) - Piano Tutor - $39.50/hr.
As a music student at metro, and a jazz/classical pianist with over 15 years of experience, I’ve had a lot of experience teaching students musical technique, especially in terms of modern music/jazz. I’ve been in many different types of bands, ranging from classical quartets to rock bands, and have received several awards, including awards for musicianship at the Greeley jazz festival. I also play the drums and guitar. I’m also double majoring in aviation technology at the Metropolitan state college of Denver. My teaching style can easily fit individuals of all ages. I like to teach people how to learn music quickly, and I use a method that incorporates both learning how to play by ear, and reading music. Using this method, my students can quickly learn how to play popular music that they will enjoy, as well as the classics. I believe that any student can easily learn to play the piano,
