Musical Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in National City, CA

As a teacher my biggest thrill is helping students reach their goals with clear understanding. Not all students learn the same and so good teachers must have many stategies for diversity in the classroom. With verbal and social skills that elicit trust, I have an ability to teach students that others cannot. I don't ever attempt to mold the student to fit some preconception but rather help the student discover their strengths and deficiencies in such a way as to make their study less daunting and less mystifying. In this way the student will become a more successful learner. After a career as a highly successful jewelry designer and manufacturer I sold my company and became an English teacher. I have always been interested in literature and journalism and while at university I participated in theater and was managing editor for the school newspaper. I began my teaching career at one of

My teaching style is student-centered. This approach is two-fold. I use scaffolds to assist in the discovery process, but encourage students to truly perform the “learning” independently, better preparing them for future endeavors. I also focus my delivery and content around the students’ interests, skill-levels, and abilities. I believe everyone has the right to an education and modify accordingly. I am patient, humorous, and approachable. It is not my goal for the students to fear me; I want to be an authority figure that they respect but also trust. I encourage students to think outside of the box as well as raise them to higher standards and skill levels. I am passionate about education, reading, and writing, and it shows! As a graduate of the University of Puget Sound, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in English studies as well as a minor in Biology. I spent a year in college

Often times, a person who is failing a subject might feel like a lost cause, that no one can help them. However, my belief is that all students are worth helping, that each individual has a right to succeed. Further, frustration can be a huge obstacle in the learning process. My approach is to slow down the process and identify the problem areas. Only then do we pick up speed in practicing homework/practice problems. In addition, I believe in a positive atmosphere for learning where patience, understanding, and positive criticism are all vital to success As both a native of Chula Vista and a UCSD graduate, I have seen and experienced what it takes in order to grow up from a local teenager to a qualified adult ready to take on the world. I have attained a BA in Music, which actually required an additional understanding of math, physics, and computer science, as well. My tutoring experienc

I have a very natural, relaxed teaching style. I nurture self-esteem and success. I believe that children are naturally creative, inquisitive, and avid learners. When they are nurtured, taught, and loving cared for and educated by adults in their lives, they soar to their greatest heights with enriched self esteem and excelling in knowledge of new tasks/skills based on their ability. I have always said that children are like sponges, they will absorb what they are able to comprehend at the time and a teacher must build on their successes. I always look for their “abilities” and then expand on them. Taught kindergarten-sixth grade . B.S. Psychology/Technology Management.

I feel I learn as much as I teach. I value every student that I have the opportunity to work with. I have learned some students just need to overcoming their dislike of a subject. For others, a key subject building block had been built properly (as in Math) and as a result the rest of the information was sitting unstable in their minds. Finding where the support is needed and then working to solidify the skill then leads to greater confidence and greater academic achievement, Most students I work with appreciate that I am fair but firm. I want to succeed. It is a win-win. I have recently completed my MBA at national University. I currently teach high school part time at a alternative high school. This recent experience provided me with opportunity to work with students in a one-on-one basis as well as familiarize myself with every core class offered in the high school program. I feel
