Violin Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Bridgeport, CT

Since the third grade, I have been striving to always do my best in music. I kept improving and eventually was able to lead myself to several orchestras state wide and across the coast. After a lot of hard work, I made my way to Carnegie Hall with the New York Youth Symphony. I decided on enrolling to the Ithaca College school of music, studying under Nicholas Walker. Francois Rabbath, a world-renowned double bass musician, demonstrated his techniques as well as taught me for a week. During the last three years I have conducted a full string orchestra in a movement of Brahms Fourth Symphony as well as I have volunteered at my High School and teach my knowledge to prospective string music majors and other music students. Music, and working with students who enjoy music is my passion. My experiences have shown that some students can be shown or told, while others understand through strictl

Math and science did not always come easy to me as a student, so I know how frustrating it can be for someone to struggle in school. As a tutor, I work hard to give my students the confidence they need to succeed in and outside of the classroom. I find that it helps when students understand why the concept they’re working on is important and what it can actually be used for out in the real world. Focusing on this purpose gives students motivation, and I use this idea as often as possible. Furthermore, I pride myself on having a good, appropriate sense of humor and have the ability to keep the mood focused enough to get work done, yet light enough to alleviate some of the stress associated with working through difficult problems. I am a young engineer and Air Force officer highly motivated by the prospect of seeing others succeed. I have a B.S. in Industrial and Management Engineerin

I enjoy helping students who need extra help. I have much patience and understanding. I start from the ground up, don't skip any steps and become familiar as I can with students abilities, strengths as well as weaknesses. I enjoy making a difference in students lives. Both my high school and my GED students appreciated my help very much. Have a BS degree in Economics from Fordham University. Twenty years of experience writing real estate appraisal reports have improved my writing abilities greatly. High School regents final grades were 98 on Algebra. 96 on geometry and 78 on trigonomitry (hardest class in high school). I believe I got a B in calculus both in high school and college.

Teaching is a unique opportunity to shape a child’s world. I want to help children achieve their best, and have found that accomplishing this goal is best undertaken by exercising patience, care, and honesty. I believe interacting with all children is very important and having a strong relationship with them will also improve my learning abilities. With the appropriate tutelage, all children can succeed to their maximum potential. I was very motivated to accomplish a high level of excellence in education, and have earned a BS degree in both Meteorology and Mathematics. Although initially motivated to study meteorology, I took on the additional math major soon after because of my longtime love of numbers. Both majors complemented each other and enhanced my problem solving abilities. Further, both majors have afforded me the opportunity to apply Microsoft Excel to my laboratory proje

Since the age of 13 I have been playing bass. Since 1993 I've been a self employed bassist, audio engineer, producer and programmer. In addition to performing, I have extensive experience with computer audio/music recording and production. In that time, I have toured the world playing in several different musical styles. Most notably, playing with Jose Feliciano's. I've taught many students how to play bass privately and continue to do so today. I've taught at music stores as well as my home and students homes. In 2003, I decided that I wanted to integrate music and the internet, so I earned an Assoc. Degree in Web Development. I really enjoy teaching students how to play the bass. It's a thrill when they have that "Aha" moment and what I'm trying to show them simply clicks. Every student I've ever had has had different reasons for coming to me and therefore I approach each individual di

I believe that you have to cater your teaching to your student's needs. Because every student is different, it is imperative to try to maintain their attention while teaching and also make it interesting. I believe that great teachers can be entertaining and informative. I graduated with a degree in Spanish and Latin American Studies. I really wanted to give others the opportunity to improve their learning. I have tutored students in ESL and ELL programs, and have helped them with math, english, science, and social studies.
