I teach in a laid-back, natural method. We like to have fun! I respect all talented, dedicated & accomplished classical musicians and anyone who reads musical notation. I don't teach sheet music or following musical pieces along as if you were reading instructions. I prefer to get blossoming musicians in touch with the natural way to enjoy music and express themselves. We accomplish this with playing by ear, utilizing musical properties and phrases that work together well, and making a connection with the music and its meaning. For the past six years I have been focusing on Hawai'ian music and Hawai'ian culture. I believe the ukulele is one of the best instruments to introduce children to music, musical theory and the enjoyment of music as a cultural activity. I have been involved in music, singing, playing instruments and performing for many decades. I studied music history, music theor

I hold a BS in Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics from the University of Maryland, College Park and a MS in Genetics from the University of Maryland School of Medicine. I work in a large University Hospital seeing patients with genetic issues. My work involves taking complex scientific information and breaking it down so that it is easy to understand. I also spend time lecturing to medical students and residents. So basically, I am a science person with excellent people skills! Teaching is probably my favorite part of my job! I am passionate about science and love to share this interest with others. I am extremely patient and very hard working. One of my strengths is that I can tell whether or not somebody understands the information and can explain things as many different ways as needed until it "clicks." I am upbeat, friendly, and get along with virtually everyone I meet.

As a University of Buea graduate with a bachelor of sciences degree in Chemistry and Botany I have a sound knowlege in Sciences and Mathematics. I have been a paraeducator at Mongomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Maryland for over three years, during which I established sound relationships with students and staff based on mutual trust. I have an extra 51 credit hours of study in mathematics and sciences along with lab work, American English-during which I acquired extensive gramatical skills due to writing research and essay papers in a broad domain of study. Teaching is a passion to me and I have a sense of accomplishment when I share or give back what I have been privilleged to acquire in my studies of sciences and math. I teach by example. For instance I will know that my students have understood when they perform a return demonstration. I am a nice guy and work with my students by

I love working with children, and I am an enthusiastic and motivating teacher. Being bilingual(French is my first language) and a mother of bilingual children, I have gone through the language learning process and understand the need of the children. With me as a tutor, French becomes easier - as well as math and sciences. I have been teaching my son who has Down syndrome, and would love to work with an other student with "special need". I have earned a PhD in Biomedical Sciences, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of mathematics and sciences. In addition, I have extensive skills in French (this is my first language - I am French and have learned my degrees in French). During the past years, I have tutored students in French, mathematics and sciences. Also, I have helped French children living in the USA to keep up with their grammatical skills in French

Since earning my M.Ed. in Urban Education in 1999, I have had the mindset to push as many students as I am able to, to the top. I have an Advanced Certificate K-8 and have held a status of Highly Qualified since the initial implementation of such in Anne Arundel County. As part of a three person team at Severn River Middle School, I helped push our 7th grade math students to the very top in the county. Likewise at Bates Middle School, I mobilized students to achieve, resulting in the most significant gains in any subject area and grade level throughout the school for two consecutive years. It was in my second year that Bates met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). I am very enthusiastic and extremely passionate with regard to my subject and student(s). I work well with all types of learners because I see mathematics as a puzzle being put together with multiple corresponding pieces. My st

I believe in having fun while mastering the basic piano skills. I’m detail-oriented, patient and creative. I simplify directions and provide concrete examples. I modify my lessons to suit the various learning styles of my students. I developed an easy piano method for “musically challenged” students who want to learn to play the piano, but face circumstances preventing them from learning the traditional way—a learning-disability, a short attention span, fine-motor skill difficulties, a lack of energy to practice the traditional way, or simply finding oneself in a busy season in life with no time for full-blown piano lessons. I’ve studied at Kawai School of Music, Sony Piano Academy, and under Ken Ogiso of Yamaha Piano Co. I’ve been personally trained by Jane Bastien of the “Bastien Piano Basics” series. I have 16 years of experience teaching piano to students from 4 to 50 year

I believe that the best way to make sure somebody remembers something is to have them discover it for themselves. My teaching style is centered around this. I enjoy asking guiding questions to point a student in the right direction, and filling in the blanks afterward. I believe the ultimate role of a teacher is to help the student better themselves, and that the best way to do this is through instruction with positive reinforcement instead of direct criticisms, and through finding the right way to motivate the student as an individual. The guitar has always been my biggest passion, and I have made it my goal to learn as much about it as possible. This search has led me to study classical guitar and music theory formally at the University of Delaware for three years before leaving to study recording in a professional technical environment at the Omega Studios' School.

I feel that I do my best work with Elementary age children. I like to make education fun and easily accessible. I love using games and hands on activities to teach lessons. My 5th grade teacher made such an impact on me that I have kept her on as a huge part of my life and I want to be that way with my students. I believe that all students can learn and can enjoy learning. I myself plan to continue my education throughout my life. I want to impact my students' lives both in and out of the classroom. While in college, I spent my time home from school substitute teaching through Frederick County Public Schools. After graduation from American University, I continued to substitute and in the fall of 2005 I took a part-time position at a middle school, teaching Theatre Arts and Music Performance Lab. While teaching, I began my teaching certification through the Maryland State Department of Ed

In the four years since I graduated I have tutored many students in these subjects. I love teaching people about music and I believe that with good training and studying people can accomplish their goals. I am a knowledgeable teacher and I am very good at explaining concepts in a way that people can understand them. I am very patient and always strive to make my students succeed.
