As the Director of Curriculum and Program Development as well as the lead instructor for two music schools, my background has seen me teaching about 70 students a week while implementing several programs that focus on the quality and administration of all academic programs in the school. These programs offer opportunities for students to focus on songwriting with a strong emphasis on theory and applied musical knowledge. The programs allow students to develop group etiquette, arranging skills, and an understanding of moderate to advanced level theory while learning about the studio experience. The experience as a Director combined with graduate study has allowed me to be involved in the development of instruction materials, level requirements, improvement in the school’s methods of composition teaching, teacher hiring, and the evaluation of fellow instructors.

I enjoy working with kids of all ages very much. As my summer job, I teach children from ages 4 to 21 how to play tennis. This has helped make me the person I am today in many ways. I am very patient and easy going and I am considerate of others as well. I am confident in my abilities and I think I would be a great fit for you as a teacher, friend, or mentor. As a member of the Wellesley community and past student at St. Sebastians school, I have learned to achieve at an extremely high level of education. My teachers have showed me how to succeed in school and strive for the best. I have been extremely interested in Music and the arts for many years now.

Having just graduated last year (May, '09) from Tufts University with a Bachelor's degree in music, I have an extensive, solid knowledge of both music theory and music history. Also, as a piano player myself, I spent my last year at Tufts working with the Community Music Program, giving piano lessons to classes of children ranging in age from 4 to 13. Additionally, after graduating, I successfully completed the MTEL (Massachusetts Test for Educator Licensure) exam in Music. Having spent a year living in France in high school and a summer during college, I am very comfortable with both French conversational, writing, and grammar skills. Although I believe in some degree of structure, I am very flexible in my teaching style. Every student is different - I work with each one individually to determine their goals and then develop an appropriate, unique program. Children learn best by activel

My teaching style starts with designing a curriculum that not only matches aptitudes but also the goals of individual students. The ones that have professional aspirations simply should not be treated the same as the ones who just want to occasionally have fun with friends on the weekend for example. That being said, with all students I believe in first mastering the fundamentals including time keeping, posture, proper technique, instrument care and maintenance and for the students who care, the rudiments of music notation and music theory. A father of two myself, I also tutor children and love to do so. I am an electric bass player with 20 years of experience. I have an AA in Sound Engineering, an AA in Digital Media and three years of full time enrollment at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. I have worked extensively as a product manager in the musical instrument industry devel

As a Trombonist with Conservatory training, I am able to privately instruct beginning to intermediate brass instrumentalists of all ages. I am also able to instruct my students in Music Theory, Fixed-Do Solfege, Music History, and Ear Training. While at Conservatory, I played with small Chamber Ensembles, large Wind Ensembles and Orchestras, which required me to use tools other than sound for communication. Body movement and posturing is a very telling way to assess the amount of confidence someone has in any given situation. Subtler ways of communication are essential for teach/student, section, ensemble and performer/accompanist performance. I always strive for clearer communication - this leads to improved musical performance. I believe that every student should have a unique path, with no two students having the same path to musical fulfillment. Each student of mine has their lesso

If a child, an adult or a teenager doesn't like you, it will be difficult (impossible?) to have him (her) learn from you. Unless you are very strong and I am "nice": I don't like to be rude. So I would need to be appreciated in order to teach. That is why I focus when available on student that chose literature or that want to learn, not the one the parents force to learn. Then I am trying to make what sounds reluctant easy, attractive... I worked also with Après la classe (“after classroom”) – 16, rue Commines BP 3003 75121 Paris Cedex 3 – as a tutor from November 1999 to January 2000 and had three pupils: a little girl of 6 years old; we did a lot of reading, a teenager of 13 years old (her sister); we repeated her History and a student of 20 years old that was studying to be a midwife and had bad marks in French literature: I tried to make her love to read but I think that today, I wou

After graduating from Haverford College with a double major in physics and astronomy, I worked for three years as an astrophysics researcher at NASA and Harvard University. In 2000, I became a teacher and a tutor. Since that time, I have taught children of all ages and adults in a wide variety of subjects. From 2002-2003, I designed and taught my own courses in physics and Calculus at the Academy at Charlemont. From 2004-2006, I completed a two year graduate program in physics education at the University of California, Berkeley. I gathered extensive experience student teaching at urban schools in the Bay Area and participated in two research groups. For my Master's thesis, I developed a curriculum to teach modern physics at the high school level using computer technology and hands-on, inquiry-based laboratory activities.

I have a passion for knowledge, and have tutored high school and college students in the area of History, reading, and writing composition. I love teaching, and watching the student progress and excel! My teaching style is more along the lines of the Montessori system. Given the freedom and much direction from the tutor, the student will often "discover" the essence of the lesson. In discovering the essence of the lesson, the student will take ownership. In taking ownership, the student in turn will develop pride, self worth, and a thirst for more knowledge and more successes.

My tutoring involves following classroom plans in Reading, Writing, English, and related skills and subjects. The goal is to support my students in their academic work that needs remedial attention as well as to enhance and enrich their homework, supporting them in every way possible. I mainly teach grades Kindergarten through six and have worked for over three years with older students at the middle school level(s). I am firm and consistent always asking for the students' imput. My style will vary with the assignment at hand, also. It is important to me that I achieve expectations of me through collaborative efforts. It is important that I help each child reach his/her potential motivating them to plan their work carefully and to strive for success.

As a recent graduate of Berklee College of Music, I have been teaching and performing music prolifically for the last 5 years. I have worked with 15-20 students weekly, as a Tutor at Berklee, helping them complete their coursework to the best of their abilities. I have also had significant experience working with children between 6 to 15 years of age as a Teachers' Assistant.
