Saxophone Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Alplaus, NY

I graduated Cum Laude from Manhattan College with a double major in Psychology and Communications. In addition to studying for two majors, I was also a Division 1 athlete and held 2 jobs. Seeing as I was very busy with extracirricular activities, I believe that my graduating with honors was truly a testament to how hard I worked. Since college, I have worked in two jobs that have really tested my gramatical, reading, editing and speaking skills. I tutored all types of students while in college and can't wait for the opportunity to tutor again. When I commit to a job, I follow through with 110% of my time and energy. I love being able to teach someone something new. I love learning, but have always been a visual learner, so whether I'm teaching someone how to read, or simply helping them improve their reading skills, I introduce visual aids. I am patient, easy going and a great lis

Through the years of experience, I have developed skills in flexibility that have benefited all my students. I believe that intensive planning with concentration on the students’ interests, strengths, and academic needs has been one of the keys to success in teaching in any of the age groups. Student input is of the first priority. Implementing students’ current IEPs, of course, is quite necessary to support the students’ paths to success. I know that collaboration with all adults, professionals and caregivers is essential in providing the best program for each student. Most importantly, I wholeheartedly believe that developing warm, yet firm, caring and trusting relationships with students positively affects student accomplishments As a special education teacher with 20+ years experience, I continue to be a dedicated professional desiring to tutor special needs and at-risk student

Having received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Cornell University and the University of California in the area of physical science (Atmospheric Science), I have attained a high level of knowledge in multiple areas ranging from Math and Science (particularly Physics) as well as Chemistry and Biology. In addition, while at Cornell University I earned a Minor in Communications focusing on both Written and Oral Communication. Regarding my abilities as a tutor, at Cornell I was employed as a Teaching Assistant for two upper level courses in the area of physical science. Lastly, as a local graduate of Queensbury High, I have first hand experience with New York State Regents exams. I very much enjoy teaching both children and young adults. It gives me great satisfaction in helping others achieve a higher level of knowledge and skills. In addition, I feel that tutoring is a

I approach teaching on an individual level. Not everyone can learn the oboe or flute in the same approach. This is why one must utilize various teaching techniques to best fit each student. I also believe in making the learning enjoyable, yet valuable to the student. Any performing musician should have a theoretical and historical knowledge of the music they are playing. This will provide the student with the proper style in which to perform the piece and convey it's true potential as an art form. My goal is to produce not only technically accomplished students but well rounded musicians. As an oboist, I have studied for over 11 years with notable teachers from Oberlin & Eastman lineage. I earned my Bachelor of Music in Oboe Performance from Nazareth College of Rochester in 2009. While there I had the opportunity to tutor in their community music program and took classes on studio teachi

I have worked with Middle School age youth for almost a decade. I am Site Coordinator at an after school program & run a science focused club there. I also occasionally help the students who have been removed from our Homework Room with a number of subjects. I enjoy imparting my knowledge to my students via a variety of hands on learning activities and have always been a keen math, science and language arts student myself. Throughout school, I also played every woodwind instrument except the Oboe. While in college, I took every Agricultural Education class offered, as it is my intended area of post graduate study, and gained a grasp of educational psychology, classroom management and lesson planning. I am a strong believer in mastering a topic as opposed to spitting out the correct response. I also believe in finding one’s main learning style and teaching to it, not that of the masses. T
