Vocals Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Vancouver, WA

My entire life has been surrounded by both music and technology and I'm looking to share that with my students. In terms of musical instruction, though the particular curriculum I use varies from student from student, I am a firm believer in first connecting to music they already know and using that as a starting point to get them invested in the music. In terms of technology and other instruction, my number one goal is making sure that the student understands the particular subject before moving onto other, harder subjects. I recently relocated to Portland from the New York City / New Jersey area after working in the e-marketing department at Carnegie Hall. I've studied piano throughout my life, starting at age 7, and graduated Westminster Choir College in Princeton NJ with a Bachelor of Arts in Music in 2005. While at Westminster, much of the curriculum I studied was focused on music e

I am the second eldest of 6 children with a 20 year gap from the youngest to the eldest. They have taught me patience, understanding, adaptability, and creativity. I love teaching and helping children understand that math isn't just for nerds - math can be fun and above all - easy. I am a firm believer that a solid foundation in mathematics helps build reasoning skills, the ability to include logic in making decisions, and team-work. My goal is to bring back mathematics as another achievement in student's lives, and to remove the idea that math is a trend or something for "Smart kids" to do. After tutoring with me, I want my students to learn that math is not hard...it's as easy as pi! As a Portland State University graduate, I have learned how important it is to have a solid math foundation to continue to build and achieve higher education.

Teaching has been my focus for the past 25 years, resulting in a bachelors degree in Psychology and a masters degree in Classical Archaeology and Art. I was an Assistant Curator of Ancient Art, teaching the university's Honors courses in Classical Studies and giving numerous lectures. By writing various papers and a master's thesis, I am experienced in research, writing and presentation. I have taught history to high school students for six years, taught Girl Scout leaders and girls in my own troop for ten years, tutored Native American college students in all subjects and taught vocal lessons. I love to teach people of all ages, developing great relationships. I am an interactive teacher, in that I believe in hands-on activities directed to that person's style of learning, determined through my experience in psychology and counseling. Thinking of learning as an adventure, I utilize disc

I love teaching and working with children. I love English. I love seeing the expression in the eye of a student who finally understands the concepts. I know what it is like to struggle and get frustrated. In Jr high I was tutored in English and math. Once I understood the concepts there was no stopping me. I would love to help your student the way someone helped me once. I am a patient, kind and loving mother. I believe English is the corner stone of education, and the key to future success. Many times a loving teacher, who takes the time necessary, is all a student needs to succeed. As an English major I have always enjoyed and excelled in the field. I was top of my class in high school. I also aided in the kindergarten class. I changed my major in college because I knew English was my calling. I have a Bachelor's degree from Warner Pacific. I enjoyed my classes and did extremely well.

I am a patient, creative person, with an ever-present sense of humor. I have a strong work ethic, and consider academic success as both a great necessity and a great gift in a child’s life. My goal is to make learning fun, as well as successful. Once a student feels success, the fun then comes naturally. I try to build confidence and self-esteem in children through academic success, as I believe they are irrefutably linked. My hope is to be the teacher that is remembered, the one who made a positive academic and personal impression. Ultimately, I hope to help your child achieve his or her academic goals, to meet your parental expectations, and to share a love of learning. As a tutor, I offer a variety of experience and skills, including two bachelor degrees, BA in English and BA in French. My advanced skills are in the language and language arts areas, but I am qualified to t

Over the past 15 years, I have taught in both special education and standard classrooms for children ages 5-9, I have tutored and served as a private teacher for children ages 5-17, and have homeschooled my own children. I am very interested in understanding how the brain works to process information and how that understanding can be used to empower children to learn life-long skills for learning. I have a special interest in literacy and using the arts to facilitate learning. I love to watch a child develop a sense of accomplishment while meeting personal goals. I believe it is important to provide children with opportunities to explore and discover their strengths. I believe that an attentive educator can observe and identify the areas which can be strengthened, so that children can achieve academic and personal success. My goal is to provide children with a creative, secure and n
