I described most of that in the above category. I can only add that I taught one-on-one, coached and conducted small ensembles, worked with groups of 100+ as a clinician or guest artist. I enjoyed all these levels of contact.

In that capacity I taught private performance lesson, coached chamber ensembles, conducted various ensembles. supervised and coached student teachers, performed in a faculty artist-in-residence quintet, performed solo recitals, assisted students in writing essays, resumes, and applications for positions in the teaching field or graduate studies.

More About This Tutor...

All children and adolescents can successfully acquire and process new information. Many students encounter difficulty learning in a traditional school setting because the large class sizes do not afford the teacher the time to learn about each individual and attend to his or her specific needs. As a tutor, I find my students' strongest learning modalities. In doing so, my students learn to trust and respect me as a person and see me as a support. I believe in using the constructivist approach to teaching, which allows students to learn through discovery. All students want to learn and be successful. As a teacher it is up to me to find the best method toward attaining that goal.
My teaching experience ranges from serving as a special education itinerant teacher (SEIT) for young children with special needs to teaching high school English. I am certified in PreK-6 elementary ed ... read more

More About This Tutor...

With extensive (and recent) training in education, especially with regard to providing for the needs of diverse learners, I am prepared to work with each student and his or her family to develop an individualized learning plan that will help the student to become confident and proficient in whatever subject area he or she wishes to strengthen. My teaching style is flexible; I will use a variety of techniques and approaches based on what will work best with the student's individual learning style. My leanings are towards comprehensive, hands-on, discovery-based teaching; creating opportunities for my student to make real-world and personal connections with the information.
Though I recently graduated with a BS in Childhood and Special Education, I have many years of experience as a teacher/trainer. I currently substitute teach Per Diem in several local districts for K-12 students. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching one on one more then in a group class setting and I do enjoy teaching individual more then in a group setting. I do wish to teach "Chinese" as a personal language when I retire in the future if we don't have SS since I am a baby boomer (hope this is not true)
Born as a Chinese national and I speak fluent Chinese Mandarin language and I studied Business in Accounting and graduated from SUNY Brockport in 1990 and my mathematical course I always get "A" on my grade (I even get 105 on my test score, believe it or not) and I still love math. Therefore I can tutoring not only business in Accounting and also Math or language in Chinese.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a music educator, I have worked in a variety of settings, most recently for 23 years at the Hochstein School of Music teaching group classes of children, ages 2 years through 11 part time. I addition, I home-schooled my own four children over the course of 21 years, covering all subject areas, and they have all subsequently succeeded in their college careers. I have also taught Literature, Writing, Music, and Social Studies classes for local homeschoolers' groups.
I enjoy children and learning together with them. I find the world a wonderful place and enjoy sharing the splendors of creation with young people. It is natural for me to work one-on-one with children as I have done for many years as a homeschool mom. I am convinced that reading and writing are key to developing the thinking process, and believe that learning to express oneself clearly and accurately within the mar ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always had a passion for education. Coming from a large family, I was always helping my younger siblings with their homework and teaching "school" in my mom's study on the weekends. I attended the rigorous International Baccalaureate program at my high school and moved away from home to attend a prestigious liberal arts college. After graduating from Smith College in May I moved to Boston to work at a public charter high school where I worked with a large and diverse student population. I taught a reading class and a Spanish class, coached the co-ed soccer team, and tutored students in several classes, including AP courses. I was also an Americorps service member and tutored elementary school students at two separate public schools.
I love working with children because I believe that every child has the ability to learn. I understand that each child learns in a unique way an ... read more
