Experience Summary
Hello everyone!
I am available for tutoring as well as teaching music lessons. I have experience tutoring students who may need more time to process information than is provided in a classroom setting in all subjects, and I'm great when it comes to communicating with kids who are weary from having lessons drilled into them at school.
Not to brag, but I was in the top 8% of my high school class and am now a double degree college graduate in Neurobiology and South Asian Languages/Culture. I can teach everything from elementary curriculum to high school and beyond!
In addition, I have over a decade of varsity and award winning musical experience in piano. I taught beginners as young as 5 and as old as 23 in the past, and I myself have been playing the piano for 14 years - since I was eight :) So I know very well what would help young minds and fingers learn a new instrument!
Teaching Style
For tutoring, I prefer face-to-face lessons, because it makes it easier for me to gauge how well the student is understanding the material. I try to explain concepts in a variety of ways to find out how the student learns best, whether through repetition, example, metaphor, application... whatever works! I have tutored kids with all kinds of needs and a few with pretty short attention spans :)
For piano lessons, I would use the Alfred library of teaching materials, as that is how I was taught and it works wonders on new learners! In addition to reading music, I would focus on performance techniques and theory as well.
My Hobbies
Piano! I am obsessed with music, and I sing and play piano all the time! I also enjoy learning new things, the most recent of which is archery!

Genetics, ecology, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, cellular biology, the body systems... it can all be extremely interesting, and I enjoy teaching as much as I enjoyed learning. If you need help, give me a call! |
