I have successfully been able to adapt to teaching in many different styles based on the student's needs, and have helped many students develop successful study and learning habits that have increased their grades.

Lessons are tailored to each students learning style and musical preferences. A wide selection of genres is taught while teaching concepts. I have taught students 6 years and older, beginner through advanced level for almost 20 years. My musical training began at the age of 6 1/2 when I begged my Mother for piano lessons. I was intrigued, having watched my older sister and mother play. Even though my sister's piano teacher preferred students 7 years and older she made the exception to begin lessons earlier for me. I've enjoyed playing solo works as well as choral and have explored many genres.

I am an experienced tutor. I tutored all through high school. I am currently a freshmen at George Mason University. I've helped kids with mainly math, piano, and chinese. I've also helped elementary school kids with homework and basic learning skills etc. I enjoy helping kids understand their materials and I do my best to help make learning something fun and interesting. I think interest in the subject leads to motivation to do well. I try my best to keep the kids interested in the subject by making games and sometimes surprises. I do think that homework I assigned is very important because I believe practice makes perfect. What I can do is help the kids understand the materials and the homework helps consolidate the materials even more.

I have always loved teaching children the skills to become a musician. Playing music can inspire children to be creative and expressive. I believe that the success of a young musician is based on learning discipline in performance as well as skills to enhance their overall individual talent. I believe all students can aspire to become proficient in the art of music. I work with every student to highlight their specific sets of skills and talents to ensure they can perform to their fullest ability. As a young musician, I began playing violin at the age of 9 and at the age of 14, I began learning piano. By age 15 I toured Austria and Germany with my high school orchestra and by age 16 I had composed my first symphony entitled Seven Emotions. At age 17, I performed at Carnegie Hall and went on to tour in Italy, again on invitational with my high school orchestra. In addition to this

Teaching is probably my favorite part of my job! I am passionate about science and love to share this interest with others. I am extremely patient and very hard working. One of my strengths is that I can tell whether or not somebody understands the information and can explain things as many different ways as needed until it "clicks." I am upbeat, friendly, and get along with virtually everyone I meet. I hold a BS in Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics from the University of Maryland, College Park and a MS in Genetics from the University of Maryland School of Medicine. I work in a large University Hospital seeing patients with genetic issues. My work involves taking complex scientific information and breaking it down so that it is easy to understand. I also spend time lecturing to medical students and residents. So basically, I am a science person with excellent people skills!

During high school I interned in a first grade classroom for one year in which I planmed/taught lessons. I also have young siblings and family members which I help with assignments on a daily basis. In college, I tutored students taking various Psychology courses. I enjoy conducting research, reading scientific articles, analyzing and interpreting data. I enjoy teaching individuals of all ages and cultures. I adopt a hands on approach to learning and have extreme patience for slower learners. My main goal during teaching is to help one have a better understanding of the subject by relating to the material. To reach this goal it is imperative that I am resourceful enough to provide my students with vital and accurate information.

After graduating from the University of Massachusetts with a BS in Chemistry, I have continued pursuing different research interests. I have an excellent knowledge of General and Organic Chemistry. I also am a native speaker of French and am able to speak and write it fluently. I am currently pursuing a Pharmacy Technician Certification position in order to apply to become a Pharmacist in the near future. When I teach, I want the students to feel comfortable asking me questions or approaching me. I'm not afraid of trying different approaches to make my student become a better learner and absorb the material in a better way.
