Piano Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Jamestown, CA

Graduated with honors from Modesto Junior College with an Associates in Music. Four semesters of Piano at the college, five semesters of Voice, four semesters of Music Theory and ear training, four semesters of choir, and two semesters of Electronic Music. As a student I have a firm grasp on music fundamentals and the basics of music theory as well as some voice and piano pedagogy. Aside from my experience within the field of my degree, I've always received very high grades in math and english classes. English and composition (essays, poetry, etc) are my true strengths; however, math also comes very easily to me. I have tutored in both math and english before and have some experience teaching music. I also work as a gymnastics coach and have three years of experience in teaching my own classes. I feel like I'm very much a hands-on type of instructor. I really believe that the best way to

I am kind of new to teaching. I have taught my little brother everything he knows, and I've been told I have a really good way of teaching. Younger students catch on very quickly to what it is I am teaching. If they don't catch on quick, then no problem. I'm very patient and never give up until a student understands the concept. I am very easy to get along with, so the student will have no problems with me. Altogether I am a very patient smart person eager to help new students learn; and if you want to have fun while learning, then I am the perfect tutor for you.

I enjoy the challenge of creating lessons that meet an individual student's academic needs. Asessment and monitoring of specific skills in reading decoding, reading comprehension, writing skills, written expression, math skills, and math concepts, allows me to modify my instruction to make each lesson relevant to your child's level and ability. I use personal experience, student's interests, repetition, oral responses, creative thought, and a host of other methods to practice and hone basic skills so that a student can master the basics and enjoy learning across a wide curriculum. I graduated from Brigham Young University in 1982 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary and Special Education. I received my California credentials for Learning Handicapped, Multiple Subjects, and Resource Specialist in 1987, through CSU Fresno. Prior to getting married, I worked for nine years in

As a Graduate of CSU Stanislaus I have a lot of experience with working with children. I have run my own music program with elementary students and had a lot of fun doing it. I have also run different camps and different high school groups. i love to help children with anything that they need help with. I love to work and teach children. It has been my passion for as long as I can remember. With my BM in Music education it will help me to keep my focus on the task at hand. I think that every child should have the opportunity to have music in their lives.

I have taught music in public education for the last 15 years. I have been involved in church music ministry for over 25 years, and currently am the church pianist in Stockton, Ca. I love working with children of all ages. Math is my second love and I almost majored in math instead of music. Math was always easy for me in school. Although I don't enjoy writing, I am very strong in written English and enjoy proofreading papers. I strive to include various learning styles when working with children. Some students learn best by listening or writing, while others need movement or tactile experiences to help in comprehension. I believe in keeping students engaged at all times, to minimize wasted time. Every child has potential. A teacher just has to know how to reach each child, and that happens when the students builds trust with the teacher.

I am an empathetic listener with a penchant for learning. A successful tutor needs to be an effective listener, one who is capable of figuring out the solution from the student's perspective, using terms and words that the student can relate to, making deceptively difficult concepts not so difficult to understand. A lot of times, all the student needs is a little help defining and assimilating new information presented to him, and I see myself as a facilitator of that process. I am creative and flexible, patient and persistent, sometimes a borderline perfectionist, and I never tire of the many "eureka!" moments experienced by my peers and students with whom I have had the opportunity to work. I am a trained researcher in molecular biology, with a BS in Neurobiology, Physiology, & Behavior, and MS in Nutritional Biology. I spent some time as an undergraduate volunteering at a local teen c

As a recent college graduate with a BA in Spanish and a BA in International Affairs, I possess current experiences from my studies in the United States, Europe and South America. Since attending college in Spain and Argentina I understand word usage and vocabulary differences within the Spanish language. Mixed with my superior Spanish skills I am able to discuss and explain political differences in Spanish and explain, on a historical level, how government has evolved internationally. As a past member of the Sacramento Jazz Society I also have a strong background in music both in practice and theory. Since high school, I have tutored others in Spanish, government, music and sports. I come from a family of teachers and, like my parents, I enjoy helping others and reaching the end goal of aiding a student in attaining their own aspirations both long and short term.
