A Little Bit About Me...

In addition to receiving a BM and MM degree, I have been an educator for several years. Most recently I taught private saxophone, flute, clarinet and keyboard lessons in Rochester, NY at the Eastman Community School and in Spencerport, NY at Dori's Music Studio.

Musical is one of my top subjects! Beginner to advanced instruction on songwriting, music production, mix engineering, hardware interfaces and setup, using and optimizing software DAW's, templates and plugins (Apple Logic Pro X, Avid Pro Tools, Ableton Live, etc.). Recording in a studio or remotely using best microphone techniques.

As a Product and Project Manager with over 10 years of cumulative experience managing software, web and video game products to market, I offer students real-world perspectives and exercises to prepare them for real-world design, production, quality assurance, leadership and marketing careers. I tend to teach the concepts that are not found in textbooks and always challenge my students to think critically.
In both my technical business and music coaching backgrounds, I take two different approaches: - In a group class, I teach structured lessons with engaging group exercises where possible and time for Q&A. - In individual coaching, I assess each learner's intrinsic motivations (mastery, learning, recognition, etc.) for taking the lessons and then structure assignments that apply to and challenge these motivators.

In my job I have been teaching my clients for 30 years. While I hold a BA in American Labor History, I have a deep knowledge base of Central Asian, Near East and Asian history obtained from business experience. While my clients have been adults I have tutored children on an informal basis when asked.
I enjoy teaching and have learned that the best way to teach is to listen. I have great patience and find it a challenge to find"the" way to teach a particular student. I learned much of this from my Father who taught for 40 years at college level.

My undergraduate degree in English and a Juris Doctor degree was a foundation for my career in writing, editing and research in the financial communications field. I have learned about the importance of clarity, detail and accuracy in writing. As an editor, I was responsible for reviewing, proofing and suggesting changes to copy on a wide range of subjects. In addition, my early years as a Juvenile Probation officer has taught me about patience and sensitivity when working with the young. I have taught Business Law at the undergraduate level for several semesters. My coaching and assisting my two children during their school years is, I believe also relevant. My guidance has led them to achieve academic success in their undergraduate education.
I believe that it is most important to create a learning environment that allows a student to feel successful every step of the way. Many ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from McGill University in Montreal in 2001, with a BA in Geography and a minor in History. Since then I have had a very diverse experience, working in Vermont as a teacher's aide as well as in a land trust, and in Montreal managing a nightclub and booking bands and acts from Canada and the US. My passion is English literature. I read constantly and love sharing books with my friends and students. I am fluent in French, having lived in France as a child, and graduated from the Lycee Francais de New York high school in 1997.
When I started working at Colchester High School in Vermont, I initially identified myself much more with the students than the teachers and staff. Back in high school, I went out of my way to rebel against the school. In Vermont I quickly learned that there is a big difference-- that as an adult now, I am on the "other side," but can use this closene ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am an extremely talented music teacher and accomplished pianist who is proficient in reading, composing and developing musical programs. I have been working part time at Alexander Hamilton Middle /High School for 3 years and have had the chance to learn, grow and refine my skills; the only thing better would be a full time music appointment. Trained classically, I am able to incorporate traditional choral techniques with a contemporary and “pop” approach that bring out the best in each student.
I love being a music teacher. My upbeat personality and engaging style enables me to relate with all levels of children. I'm very learned in all areas of education and would be able to do a great job tutoring.

I taught a computer "cap-stone" class to graduating seniors part-time at the Katherine Gibbs school for 1 semester. There were approximately 14 Seniors in the class and we utilized all of the Office programs from the creation of letterheads to the writing of business correspondence to mythical persons about various subjects. Subsequently I tutored high school seniors for the Princeton Review, an SAT prep business, for about a year and a half. This experience included working with many types of students and was a perfect venue to utilize my extensive consulting experience. As a turnaround management consultant for over 25 years, I was continually "teaching" people to implement the changes required to succeed.
My teaching style is a combination of serious, in-depth theory and practical examples to demonstrate such theories, all with a hint of humor, followed by significant pra ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I would consider my teaching style to be very organic and adaptable. I consider each student individually, and I evaluate what works best for that student in particular. I am trained in various forms of teaching, and I have a complete understanding of the various learning personalities and characteristics of students that I have worked with and will work with in the future.
I began mentoring students during my tenure at Regis High School, a private, full-scholarship-only high school in New York City at the age of 17. After attending Villanova University and Fordham University's Graduate School of Business Administration, I began tutoring part-time with Studypoint. I have tutored over 30 different students in nearly all academic areas, including SAT, ACT, ISEE, SSAT and Academic Programs for grades K-12. I am currently a law student at Pace Law School in White Plains, NY, and I woul ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I view teaching as successful transference of knowledge. I have a profound respect for teachers that teach for the love of it. After I completed my Bachelors degree, I taught for 2 weeks at a High School in Barbados that catered to students with special education needs. Though it was a short period of time, I enjoyed developing different techniques to engage the unique needs of each child. I prefer interactive methods of teaching as I believe that children learn more when they feel a part of the learning process. The students that I taught appreciated my caring and patient approach. Patience is key when tutoring because pressure only inhibits learning potential. I receive great joy from the expression on a child’s face when they have finally understood a concept. Then and only then do I smile with great pride of having been able to accomplish successful transference of knowledge. ... read more
