I also have over 20 years of experience playing the piano and over 10 years of experience playing in the church setting. I was classically trained in piano from the age of 5 but have taught myself to read chord charts and lead sheets. I would love to help you unlock the world of music and piano. I was classically trained in piano but teach a combination of music reading and ear training. I can also teach you how to play by chord charts and lead sheets for band/worship music. My approach to teaching Spanish involves a combination of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

I am strong supporter of communicative competence at all levels of language learning. As a tutor/teacher, I have used a variety of techniques to promote language learning. These techniques involved pictures, gestures, recordings and computers. All of these components used together can help support competence in both the foreign language and English for the non-native English learner. A clear lesson plan is essential. I support a lesson plan that incorporates a variety of strategies because there is no "one" recipe for success. I have a strong desire to help students reach academic excellence. I hold a BA in French, completed one year of Foreign Study Coursework in France, taken graduate level coursework in Teaching and I have taught/tutored elementary students and adults in French and English. I have worked as a paraeducator,a substitute educational support person and foreign language

My aim is to help students discover their own unique style and set of skills, and enable them to develop the tools they'll need to write in academic and professional settings. These values include succinctness, readability, and expressiveness.

I got my BA in linguistics from the University of Washington, and earned an MLitt and PhD in English language from the University of Glasgow, Scotland. My training in

I love teaching, organizing, planning... This past year, as a college professor, I worked with students ranging from 18 - 60 years old. I was a substitute teacher in Athens, GA for grades Kindergarden through 12th grade. I am patient, creative, dependable, and hard-working. I am dedicated to inspiring students to enjoy learning and see the wonderful abilities they possess. As a graduate from the University of Georgia's pharmacy school, I am qualified to tutor in the following areas: health, chemistry, biology, math... I have also played the piano since 1992, took 10 years of lessons, and would love to offer piano lessons. The past year and a half I was a college professor and director over a pharmacy technician program in Myrtle Beach, SC. I am relocating to Silverdale WA area 2/2011 and look forward to the new opportunities it will bring!
