Music performance is an ongoing education, shaped by education, experience, and the customer's need for private and public performances, or even recordings. Writing also takes practice and experience to perfect the balance needed to express both logic and emotion in words. Simple business correspondence, a newspaper article, or even a research paper can be used to clearly send your message. Music and writing are both ways a person expresses what is going on inside in relation to an experience or a collection of experiences. Whether in a group, as an accompanist or soloist, your audience can feel what you feel. Being in tune with yourself as a person is key to expressing the clearest message possible; as a learner, a teacher, or even a musician.

I prefer to teach mathematics up to grade 12. As a very patient teacher I would like to see students are willing and have the motivation to study. All students should be able to pass the necessary tests and me as a teacher are willing to help. As a tutor behavior pr

My teaching style is totally interactive. I plan each lesson before initiating it with the student. I first inform the student what will be covered in the lesson, and then question him or her to determine background knowledge and capability. At each step of the lesson, after presenting the material, I ask the student questions to determine the resultant level of understanding, and after the lesson is completed, I give a test to document the results. I keep a diary of the interactions for myself and other teachers for the future. In addition to B.A. degrees in Mathematics and Psychology, I have experience as a Software Engineer, a Pharmacy Technician, and a Professional Musician. I have tutored children from ages 14 to 18 in English, Mathematics, History, and Music over a period of two years. I have provided them with an excellent role model for dealing with friends, teachers, emplo

Music is extremely important to every student's development. I believe every child is capable of grasping good, solid musical concepts and that these concepts will make them better people and better citizens of our planet. Everyone learns different and I evaluate each students process and teach accordingly. I am an experienced composer, songwriter and producer with extensive film credits. I have scored over 40 feature films, including the Academy Award® nominated documentaries "Mighty Times-The Legacy of Rosa Parks", and "Rock The Boat".  I have also been recognized for my work with two 21st Century Filmmaker Awards for Excellence.  I would be happy to send you a CD and promotional material.

In 1997 I was a teacher assistant for the Huntington Park High School music department. I ran rehearsals with the marching band, jazz band, jazz choir, beginning orchestra, and beginning band. In April of 2000 I started working at Middleton Street School where I had the music program under my direction for almost ten years. Instruments include: Violin, Guitar, Vihuela, Guitarron, Voice, and Trumpet. I currently have my own Mariachi group, and play with other groups who need or are short in musicians. Groups include: USC Mariachi, Cal State L.A. Mariachi, and Mariachi Juvenil Voz de America. I evaluate the student and see where he/she stands and move forward in progressing their skill. Every instrument is different and difficult in its own way. I will teach the student the most productive way to practice by using the technique I learned by professors and professional musicians.

As a graduate of University of Irvine, I have learned to achieve knowledge through research and inquiry. Researching was a major part of my degree alongside to writing and analyzing. This helps me teach the students to effectively gather their information on the area of their study. Moreover, I have tutored chemistry for two semesters in Irvine through Education Outreach Program. During my credentials, I interned at two prestigious elementary schools. I learned to manage a classroom by myself and plan for different subjects such as math, language arts, social study, science and art. I have tutored in Arabic as it being my native language. Growing up as a student I noticed that most of the teachers in the classroom pay attention to only a fraction of students. This bothered me. One of the main reasons why I decided to become a teacher is to give each student the attention he or she needs

As a teacher, my goal has always been to increase student achievement. I've taught 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th grade. Although my concentration has been mostly in elementary education, I am highly competent in Mathematics specifically in Algebra, English, Linguistics, Writing, History, and Reading. I've also attended the Princeton Review seminars to prepare me for the SATs and GREs; and from that experience I've also prepared my students for the state exams and how to be better test takers. Overall, I understand the dynamics of education and I'm fully aware on how I can prepare our children to successfully face those challenges. The art of teaching is contingent upon your audience, your students. I believe that as a teacher, it is critical that I adjust and modify my teaching style to match those of my students that I am teaching. I am a firm believer that the success of our students' l
