Just breathe, everything is solvable :)!

My name is Maria Sedrak. I am a Material Sciences Engineer. I spent my college years teaching Piano to kids starting from 4 years old to married couples. I also were a Junior TA in the Physics Department back in my University for two consecutive semesters. I also freelanced at giving Mathematics classes to middle school students. I also performed in front of a large crowd multiple times making me able to interact greatly with people.
I like to simplify whatever problem the student is facing in order for him/her to be able to independently solve it. I always like to remind them that nothing is hard, it is just how they are looking at the problem and organize their thoughts. I like to provide illustrations and visuals for the student and make the class more interactive.

Piano Lessons In Your Home by Miss Margaret

My name is Miss Margaret (bio) and I teach music lessons in your home, school, library, or child centered environment (Nassau and Suffolk County, NY). I am a teacher who fosters positive relationships with my students to create their environment more conducive to learning and to meet their developmental and musical needs. I provide structured music programs that gradually forms into an adaptable routine of fun, and engages the student the motivation to learn. My teaching approach begins with an informal observation of the student’s behavior when music and materials are presented, and throughout the lesson, I present myself as a positive role model, use consistency and direction to maintain the student on task, and to help build their self-esteem and confidence, and I always praise and reward for good work. But, most importantly, I am patient with all my students and accepting of thei ... read more

I enjoy teaching and working with children. I adapt my lessons and differentiate my instruction to meet the needs of each child. Everyone can learn but in various ways. I use a lot of visual aids and manipulatives to help students learn. With specific resources, patience, and enthusiasm your child can find success and have fun while learning.
I currently hold a bachelors degree in communications and a masters degree in Early Childhood/Childhood education. I have worked in various grades which helped give me a broad understanding of the subject matter taught. My experience has helped me adapt my teaching skills to meet the needs of individual students.

I enjoy teaching English especially reading and writing to children. Each child has their own sense of learning and I am available to teach this. I use many different teaching styles to help children succeed such as silent reading, group work and peer editing. When students are put in a situation where they are encouraged to succeed, anything can happen. I chose to teach in New Orleans because I am a firm believer that all children have the right and will to learn.

A Little Bit About Me...

During my studies at Stony Brook University, I was able to gain some experience teaching peers as an undergraduate teaching assistant. I studied literature and achieved a second bachelor’s degree in Art History and Criticism. I studied abroad in my junior year at Lancaster University in England. It was the experience of a lifetime. In my most recent position as a Lead Teacher for Preschool, I have had the opportunity to educate students at the very beginning of their journey through school. I have had some of the most rewarding experiences from helping children read their first words and write their first letters to showing them how to tie their shoes.
I believe that the best teachers combine an extensive knowledge of their subject matter with a love of guiding others towards their own discoveries. I think that having patience, and open mind, and a love of learning are qualities ... read more

My teaching style could be described as fun, supportive, caring, and disciplined. By disciplined I don't mean tough, hard, or mean. Students are assigned work that they are expected to complete, although it won't be too time consuming. All work is intended to improve the student's abilities in the field that I will be tutoring them. Improvement is encouraged and positively reinforced.
I have tutored Music Theory, Aural Skills, and Music History for two and a half years at Adelphi University. My G.P.A. in Music Theory was a 3.4 and my G.P.A. for Aural Skills was a 4.0. I was recommended by the former Department Chair-Person to tutor a student with special needs. I have also taught lessons primarily for trumpet, but also for tuba, trombone, euphonium, baritone, and French horn.

My experience as a tutor for children in homeless shelters and children enrolled in after-school programs have enabled me to cultivate strategies for disseminating information in ways that are appropriate for their developmental stage, educational background, and unique learning styles. Moreover, the unit plans I have produced have always been tailored towards making interdisciplinary connections in order to make learning more meaningful, including differentiation techniques to accommodate those with special needs, and approaching information in a creative way to make learning as enjoyable as possible.
My desire to commence my journey as an educator has been insatiable throughout my college career. I have received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics and Psychology this past December. I have also received high scores on the LAST, ATS-W, and the multi-subject CST exams. More ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I honestly enjoy teaching people of all ages the joy of piano music, and to realize their potential. My approach to teaching how is to connect the student's experience to a new language of sounds and feelings, enhancing their ability to listen. I use a variety of musical styles to motivate, being flexible with each student by building on their various abilities and interests. Nobody is too young or too old to learn. The style of teaching depends on the student's experience and interests. Starting with proper classical technique and reinforcement through encouragement and praise, I nourish the skills that will create in themselves a motivation to learn more, thereby encouraging the student's self-confidence to grow musically and personally.
Ever since age 3, my greatest emotional satisfaction has been expressed through music, and learning how to create music through the piano has pr ... read more

I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through effort.
I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and ... read more

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 practice of the newly learned skills. I've been "teaching" people all of my business career. I always start with the underlying theory and immediately segue into a practical example of how the principles work. I think students want to learn, but need the information presented in a way that makes learning interesting, not boring. I have that ability. I'm able to integrate relevant practical examples because I have a very broad range of experience, having been an entrepreneur and turnaround management consultant for over 40 years.

Education in my life has been my number one motivating factor for success. Throughout my educational career I have always been organized and a group leader when it came to helping my fellow students with projects/homework/studying, etc. For many years I tutored individuals in English, Math, Social Studies/History, German, Psychology and Arts. My experiences have all been validating. Sometimes schools are limited in the amount of extra attention they can give certain students and that is where being a great tutor comes into play. In college I was a teacher's assistant for an introduction to womens studies class and it was a very rewarding experience to help other students clarify and learn information.
My teaching style is relaxed, non-forceful and always understanding. I am a kindhearted person in general so when I relate to anyone else I always use the utmost respectful language a ... read more

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.
