I am currently studying a doctorate in Music Composition at MSU and a second Master's in Music Theory. I have experience teaching music at the college level (about 5 years now). I am a pianist, a composer, and a teacher of keyboard, piano, music composition, and music theory. I am also bilingual (Spanish and English).

My teaching style would be to find the student's primary learning style and converting the information he or she needs into a format that fits that learning style. Each subject would be made as visible or concrete as possible, so that the student could interact with the material on more than just a visual/conceptual level. Showing the student how the material can relate to real-life situations and opportunities would be a vital part of the instruction. After high school, I recognized in myself a desire to work with elementary- and high school-aged children. I have always been at the top of my classes and was heading for an engineering school before I discovered a love for helping kids. I do not have any teaching experience but I spent many summers working with these age groups at camp and enjoy interacting with them. I also easily understand most high school subjects and enjoy helping

I truly love working with children of all ages. I feel that it is my duty to help all children to reach their full potential and to enstill in them the love of learning. I want my students to know that learning doesn't stop once you leave school, rather that they need to be life long learners, always wanting to learn more. I try to keep my classroom environment as friendly and open as possible. I differentiate my instruction to ensure that all of my students are learning and understanding the material I present before them. I want to be the difference in my student's lives. I completed my Master's Degree in Reading Education and am state certified as a Reading Specialist K-12. Because of my extensive training in this area I can extend upon classroom teaching and work collaboratively to use research based methods to improve instruction. I have studied various forms of assessment, a

I am a retired special ed teacher. I worked with Learning Disabled, Emotionally Impaired, Cognitively Impaired, and Austistic students primarily in the high school. I was an Assistant Principal in a middle school for four years, and a teacher consultant for 30 years. In my role as a teacher consultant, I tutored students primarily in the high school. For the past 30 years, I have worked with special needs students. I believe that students learn at their educational level. The problem with education today, is that students are often in classrooms that stress learning at their frustration level. Many students are in general ed settings, but are forced to use materials that they do not fully understand. In my role as a teacher consultant, I adapted materials so the students could understand it. If chosen as a tutor, I would do the same so the students would learn at their education

I am firm believer that education is the key to success no matter what the person wants to do with their life. I try my best to make the learning experience fun and fruitful for students so that the material is easier to understand. All students have the ability to be great with the right amount of guidance which is where I come in. It is one thing for me to help a student understand the material at hand, but I also want to make a difference in their lives so that they get into the real world and succeed. I am a recent college graduate with a BA in Finance. I was highly driven during my college years and was able to graduate earlier than my peers. I am highly proficient in math, grammatical skills, and various computer applications. During my process of achieving a higher eduaction, I tutorted and mentored students in English, Math, and Arts, while advising on life lessons and how
