Trumpet Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Maywood, CA

As a Literacy Professional, I have a decade of experience teaching adults to read. My specialty was in showing volunteer tutors how to teach dyslexic adults and adolescents. I was instrumental in establishing both the first Workplace ESL program in Carson and in supporting dropouts in the community. When I left the program to do research, I had satellite programs running from Lomita to Inglewood. I am a direct teacher. I look for what works and try not to use what doesn't work for too long. Especially when dealing with dyslexics, too much "teaching" has led to failure. I like nothing better than to grapple with a problem until it is resolved. This may imply that I am a more tactile learner myself, but I have seen that I am balanced on all three major learning style fronts. My students have noted that I give good, if off-beat, examples which stick in their heads. These odd-ball r

I evaluate the student and see where he/she stands and move forward in progressing their skill. Every instrument is different and difficult in its own way. I will teach the student the most productive way to practice by using the technique I learned by professors and professional musicians. For trumpet, I work on the embochure, and breathing. For violin, I evaluate the way the student holds the instrument including posture. I use a special tape to help guide with the notes which I use as training wheels, and take them down one at a time as the student progresses. The student learns at his/her pace and will vary by the amount of practice he/she puts into it. In 1997 I was a teacher assistant for the Huntington Park High School music department. I ran rehearsals with the marching band, jazz band, jazz choir, beginning orchestra, and beginning band. In April of 2000 I started workin

Music is extremely important to every student's development. I believe every child is capable of grasping good, solid musical concepts and that these concepts will make them better people and better citizens of our planet. Everyone learns different and I evaluate each students process and teach accordingly. I am an experienced composer, songwriter and producer with extensive film credits. I have scored over 40 feature films, including the Academy Award® nominated documentaries "Mighty Times-The Legacy of Rosa Parks", and "Rock The Boat".  I have also been recognized for my work with two 21st Century Filmmaker Awards for Excellence.  I would be happy to send you a CD and promotional material. In the meantime, I invite you to visit my website (http://www.kevinsaundershayes.com) for a full list of credits, featured music selections, video examples, press reviews, as well as director and

I'm very passionate to help kids to be successful in school as well as in life. I've had 6 years of working as Student Aides in all levels of K-12; Math, English, Writing, and Arts, 5 years working as Teacher for Career Colleges: Websters, Phillip Jr., and University of Phoenix; Math, Computer Software Applications, Writing, Professional development, Accounting,Statistic, Student coaching,and Piano. I'm a big believer of motivation and encouragement. Once the kids are motivated when they feel the bonding, learning success will be achieved in a faster speed. I'd like to talk to the children every day to find out how their days went and their concerns and challenges especially if they feel they're capable of handling of the situation and their ways of doing such.

Since graduating with a bachelors degree in mathematics, I have done a lot of work in the tutoring field. I have worked for two years for Sylvan Learning Center, working in an array of fields, including all areas of mathematics, English, SAT prep, and study skills. I have also worked for Islip Tutoring Services for a year, working with No Child Left Behind to help underprivileged students get extra help in the areas of math, English, and science. I have also done private tutoring for the last three years, in all areas of mathematics. I thoroughly enjoy teaching, especially in a tutoring setting. Being able to work with a student in an environment where I can give them all of my attention really allows me to make a huge impact on them. I believe that in order for a student to learn, the student must gain confidence that he or she CAN learn. I am a very kind and helpful person, and i
