Piano Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Jefferson, CO

I love discovering each individual student and the way to help them learn. My goal is to help students become inspired by their subject matter so that it can play a role in their lives as well as their test scores. I have led several small groups of teenagers and young adults in Biblical studies at Prairie Hill Evangelical Free Church, several musical groups in practicing and performing, and a summer-long book club at Crown College. In gaining my Associate of Arts degree from Crown College, I also led many study groups on subjects ranging from Chemistry to Physics, English Literature to Creative Writing.

I retired after 35 years of teaching, and I am currently substitute teaching. Through the years I have tutored privately students ranging from kindergarten to high school. I also teach piano. I enjoy substituting because it keeps me current with instructional methods being used in schools. I also take continuing education classes to maintain my Colorado teacher certificate.

I'm informal but I like to go into depth whenever possible. I focus on explaining things and understanding concepts, rather than just knowing how to complete certain tasks. I think the tutoring experience should be fun and relaxed, as well as intensely educational, because the best learning occurs when both the teacher and student are interested in the subject. I enjoy tutoring more than just about any other activity. I've taught private piano lessons to kids for four years, and having grown up with a lot of homeschooled siblings, I know how to work with children as well as adults, and I love helping people learn. My strongest subject is English. I have a Bachelor's degree in it from the University of Denver, with a 3.9 GPA and distinction in my major. My senior thesis won an award for the best critical thesis submitted in my graduating class, and I've received a B on a paper only onc

My main goal in teaching is to connect personally with the student in a professional manner which enables mutual respect and trust to be built. This kind of teacher-student relationship allows for the best atmosphere in which a student can learn. My first task as a teacher is to find out how the student is motivated, and then to follow through with motivating the student to reach his or her potential (also requiring appropriate levels of achievement). Of course, good communication with the parent and/or classroom teacher who also has goals for the student who is being tutored is imperative. Music / Piano Instructor: With 34 years of experience teaching piano and leading musical groups, I have a wide range of exposure to various learning styles which has required flexibility in the development of my pedagogical approach.

I have been teaching in both classroomas well as one-on-one settings here in the US as well as Europe and South East Asia for over 20 years. My students have been of all abilities and from as young as 3 to as "young" as 80. I have taught a wide range of courses including, writing composition, grammar, speech, social studies/cultural communication, ESL, conflict negotiation and mediation as well as test prep for SAT, TOEIC, TOEFL and the LSAT. I have earned a reputation among my students as an instructor you always conducts a vibrant, fun, interactive, multi-activity and thereby material jam-packed class, but balance this socratic teaching method with extremely demanding and challenging assignments and exams. To effectively teach any subject I first take the time to clearly organize my thoughts on the subject, decide upon what objectives/information that I would like/need to convey to

Ever since working my first teaching internship as a junior in high school, I have gained a passion for teaching and helping others. After earning my B.A. in Psychology from Connecticut College, I worked for one school year as a teacher and tutor at a public school in upstate NY. Most of the students I worked with either had a learning disability or were absent from school due to suspension or health condition. After finding my niche working with students with cognitive disabilities, i gained my M.S.Ed in Rehabilitation Counseling. Although the majority of my tutoring experience has been with students aged 12-16 years, I have worked as a high school counselor and disability coordinator at New York University and Columbia University, respectively. As both a nationally certified rehabilitation counselor and a former teacher, I have a unique perspective with regard to the tutoring process.

Through my experience working with students in inner-city Dallas, in Russia, in Commerce City, and in Denver, I have learned to be creative when finding ways to help students succeed. Education is a deeply personal experience, one which requires the instructor to be as open and active as the student. I strive to journey with my students as they endeavor to expand their learning and broaden their abilities. Each student has specific needs that must be carefully addressed, whether they be language barriers, emotional or developmental delays, etc. When tutoring, both in group and individual contexts, I find what kind of teaching works well with each student. I have a strong, diverse background in education, from EFL instruction overseas, to public school classroom instruction and private tutoring, to individual and group piano lessons. I began tutoring and teaching piano when in high s

As a music student at metro, and a jazz/classical pianist with over 15 years of experience, I’ve had a lot of experience teaching students musical technique, especially in terms of modern music/jazz. I’ve been in many different types of bands, ranging from classical quartets to rock bands, and have received several awards, including awards for musicianship at the Greeley jazz festival. I also play the drums and guitar. I’m also double majoring in aviation technology at the Metropolitan state college of Denver. My teaching style can easily fit individuals of all ages. I like to teach people how to learn music quickly, and I use a method that incorporates both learning how to play by ear, and reading music. Using this method, my students can quickly learn how to play popular music that they will enjoy, as well as the classics. I believe that any student can easily learn to play the piano,
