Piano Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Dunstable, MA

As a Visual Arts Teacher and Special Educator, I am a resourceful, energetic person with a commitment to fostering lifelong learning in students. I am positive, outgoing, and approachable, with a talent for drawing out young people and putting them at ease. My philosophy in education is that all children are capable of being successful in school and life and their experiences and accomplishments should feel both enjoyable and rewarding through their own desires and perseverances. Given the rapid advancements in technology, I have come to realize that students can access much of the information needed to be successful in life. With this in mind and given the ever changing classroom philosophies around methods and instruction, I believe teachers’ curriculum and lesson plans can also include ways to support their roles as facilitators in a classroom where the teacher then guides student

I love the job of teaching language. So I was majoring in teaching Chinese language and literacy in Fujian Normal University when I was an undergraduate student. There, I had been trained to be a qualified Chinese teacher in China for four years, including course training and plenty of internships. Then I successfully gained the certification of teaching Chinese before graduating. After finishing undergraduate study, I came to the U.S., continued studied on language education. In addition to daily schooling works, I did a lot of jobs in teaching Chinese in local schools. For example, I'm an official teacher in Athens Chinese School (Athens, GA). Also, I worked as a free Chinese language tutor and organized Chinese language learning center in a local elementary school at Athens, GA. After graduating from graduate school, I work as a Chinese lecturer in different universities. Therefore,

I'm a recent graduate from Brown University, with experience tutoring at the middle school, high school, and college levels. Math and Biology are my favorite things to teach--I love the subject matter and I love to see it "click" with students. In math, I received an 800 score on the SAT, and a score of 5 on each the Calculus AB and BC exams. I also tutored algebra as a high school student. I'm currently studying up on everything from Trig to Calculus II so that I can take a Multivariable Calculus class, so the material is fresh! I'm happy to tutor any student at the middle-school or high-school level. Biology was my undergraduate major, and is one of my biggest passions. My last semester in college, I was a Teaching Assistant for the Introductory Ecology class at Brown, leading discussion groups of about 15 students, and meeting with students one-on-one to review material.

As an early childhood teacher, I have had several opportunities to help children (school age), to do homework. I also was a tutor in high school to a boy for just Algebra, which then turned around to being all of his subjects and helping him keep on track. The hardest thing for me was that he had only lived in the U.S. for four years, and had trouble speaking English. After each session of tutoring, I would grab the Scrabble board, which encouraged him to use more words, learn new words, and have fun while doing so. I like to get to the point of certain problems, such as reading the child/student when I see them, ask them some questions about the subjects they need help in and why they need help. I have worked with Infants-School age for over 5 years, and enjoy being there to help someone in need. I believe in giving back, because so many of us are blessed already.

As a 2008 graduation of Westfield State College with a Bachelor of Arts in English Education I have enjoyed being a high school English teacher for two years. My training prior to my career involves experience with English at all four high school levels, drama (both academic and extra curricular,) speech methods and instruction, and urban school environments. Additionally, career opportunities while teaching have allowed me to pursue new and progressive methods of teaching literature and writing. I have a passion for teaching and working with students, and I am highly energetic and enthusiastic in the classroom. I make it a priority to help students understand that even if a subject isn't enjoyable to them, it is still rewarding to achieve success with it. I make an effort to adapt to each students learning style, whether visual, kinesthetic, auditory, or something different. By reaching

I have worked hard over many years to asses the needs of individual students. Firstly, I assess the learning level and learning style of the student over the first week or two. Secondly, I approach the teaching style according to those findings. Thirdly, I assess the progress of the student in relation to the teaching style and make any necessary changes in approach. I teach students to look at (analyze) the music to find similarities, likenesses and problem spots. The results are excellent in seeing that the learner remembers lessons and instruction. The learning is long lasting and even permanent. As a composer and performer, with a Bachelor of Music Degree in Music Theory and Composition, I have always sought to teach music from the bottom up. As a master teacher, with a Master of Science Degree in Music Education, I have worked to develop my own programs and courses of study that te

My tutoring involves following classroom plans in Reading, Writing, English, and related skills and subjects. The goal is to support my students in their academic work that needs remedial attention as well as to enhance and enrich their homework, supporting them in every way possible. I mainly teach grades Kindergarten through six and have worked for over three years with older students at the middle school level(s). I am firm and consistent always asking for the students' imput. My style will vary with the assignment at hand, also. It is important to me that I achieve expectations of me through collaborative efforts. It is important that I help each child reach his/her potential motivating them to plan their work carefully and to strive for success.

I feel confident that I can find the right style to fit each child. Each child learns differently and at a different pace, so there is no one style to apply. I am a level headed, kind, and extremely supportful individual, and I think it helps when someone lends a calming approach. Children just want to learn, they absorb everything, so for me to be able to come out of a session and know that I was able to get through to someone, is just wonderful! I have earned a Bachelors degree in Accounting and have over 20 years experience in the field. In addition to working, have volunteered in my childrens classrooms when they were in elementary school. My most recent job, outside of Accounting, was a supervisory/management position, where people reported to me daily and I gave them feedback and helped them to see things more clearly. I found this experience to be very gratifying. I enjoy workin

I think one of the most important qualities for a teacher is to have a radiant enthusiasm for the subject you are teaching. After all, how can you get the students excited to learn, if you are not excited about the material you are teaching? You also need to be observant and able to identify how your students learn best and cater to their different learning styles. Finally and mostly importantly, a good teacher is patient and believes in their students' potentials and enthusiastically aids their students in reaching those potentials. I have recently finished my Master's program in piano performance. I am an active teacher as well as a performer in the Boston area. Though primarily trained as a classical musician, I am a versatile pianist and have various experiences playing for and directing musical productions and cabaret concerts. I have also been studying voice for the past 6 years a

I would enjoy working with children as for I work very well with them. I enjoy working with kids of all ages very much. As my summer job, I teach children from ages 4 to 21 how to play tennis. This has helped make me the person I am today in many ways. I am very patient and easy going and I am considerate of others as well. I am confident in my abilities and I think I would be a great fit for you as a teacher, friend, or mentor.

Having just graduated last year (May, '09) from Tufts University with a Bachelor's degree in music, I have an extensive, solid knowledge of both music theory and music history. Also, as a piano player myself, I spent my last year at Tufts working with the Community Music Program, giving piano lessons to classes of children ranging in age from 4 to 13. Additionally, after graduating, I successfully completed the MTEL (Massachusetts Test for Educator Licensure) exam in Music. Having spent a year living in France in high school and a summer during college, I am very comfortable with both French conversational, writing, and grammar skills. Although I believe in some degree of structure, I am very flexible in my teaching style. Every student is different - I work with each one individually to determine their goals and then develop an appropriate, unique program. Children learn best by activel
