Musical Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Washington, DC

I'm more of a hands on and visual teacher. I prefer to show than to read because many ideas can come from one sentence. I learn more by drawing out or actually seeing what my teacher is trying to convey. I am a 17 year old female who has so much talent to share with the people around me. I'm apart of a community service club, I play a variety of instruments, and from my experiences I've gained a lot of wisdom. I may not be certified with a piece of paper to show, but who said that in order to spread knowledge you had to have graduated and attended college? All in all I aim to please and I give 100% because 99 1/2 won't do.

I have been involved in music, singing, playing instruments and performing for many decades. I studied music history, music theory and musical performance in High School & College. I am experienced in Ukulele, Guitar, Keys & Drums. I have a large repertoire of musical pieces to draw from in order to provide an engaging learning experience in many different genres of music. I teach in a laid-back, natural method. We like to have fun! I respect all talented, dedicated & accomplished classical musicians and anyone who reads musical notation. I don't teach sheet music or following musical pieces along as if you were reading instructions. I prefer to get blossoming musicians in touch with the natural way to enjoy music and express themselves. We accomplish this with playing by ear, utilizing musical properties and phrases that work together well, and making a connection with the music and its

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!

As a college graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering, and completed my thesis leading to a Master's degree in Economic Policy. These have enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last 13 years I have tutored students (all levels) in Mathematics, Sciences, and Economics and English. For two years I taught as the MCAS Math Instructor, Roxbury Community College, where I taught math concepts and methods to high-school students in preparation for statewide assessment tests. This involved developing and implemented unit plans and assessments, the assessment of individual learning styles and adapted

I have earned a PhD in Biomedical Sciences, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of mathematics and sciences. In addition, I have extensive skills in French (this is my first language - I am French and have learned my degrees in French). During the past years, I have tutored students in French, mathematics and sciences. Also, I have helped French children living in the USA to keep up with their grammatical skills in French. I love working with children, and I am an enthusiastic and motivating teacher. Being bilingual(French is my first language) and a mother of bilingual children, I have gone through the language learning process and understand the need of the children. With me as a tutor, French becomes easier - as well as math and sciences. I have been teaching my son who has Down syndrome, and would love to work with an other student with "special need"

I work hard to make my classes fun and educational. I work to share knowledge and find that I often learn things from the students. I am resourceful and creative, approachable and friendly. I help students to move from "I can't" to "I can and I will". My clients and students have told me that, as a result of my classes, they feel more confident in interacting with people in their everyday lives. I am a trained experienced teacher and tutor with more than 9 years experience teaching and tutoring adults. I have experience working with culturally diverse populations. I am comfortable with public speaking, training and teaching. I have taught listening, speaking, reading and writing skills and have helped students improve in these areas. I teach large and small groups of students in academic and community settings. I have taught ESL at jobsites. I have helped clients and their fa

Teaching is a passion to me and I have a sense of accomplishment when I share or give back what I have been privilleged to acquire in my studies of sciences and math. I teach by example. For instance I will know that my students have understood when they perform a return demonstration. I am a nice guy and work with my students by establishing a sound relationships based on mutual trust. I believe that a sound understanding of basic math and science skills would have a great impact on the future accademic lives of individuals as well as in the real world when they grow up. I have extensive experience in working with children of apparently all age groups. As a University of Buea graduate with a bachelor of sciences degree in Chemistry and Botany I have a sound knowlege in Sciences and Mathematics.

I’ve studied at Kawai School of Music, Sony Piano Academy, and under Ken Ogiso of Yamaha Piano Co. I’ve been personally trained by Jane Bastien of the “Bastien Piano Basics” series. I have 16 years of experience teaching piano to students from 4 to 50 years old. I have also taught piano lessons to special ed. students as part of the fine motor training. I developed a very simple and intuitive piano method, which was partially inspired by the ancient notation system used for the Japanese KOTO harp. I believe in having fun while mastering the basic piano skills. I’m detail-oriented, patient and creative. I simplify directions and provide concrete examples. I modify my lessons to suit the various learning styles of my students. I developed an easy piano method for “musically challenged” students who want to learn to play the piano, but face circumstances preventing them from le

I am very enthusiastic and extremely passionate with regard to my subject and student(s). I work well with all types of learners because I see mathematics as a puzzle being put together with multiple corresponding pieces. My students are encouraged to see me as a facilitator --one who does not spoon feed, but instead extracts information as part of an investigative mode of thinking and learning. I am into the "why" and not just the "how" of mathematics; therefore, I tend to ask probing questions, especially during formative assessments. Because I remain teachable and eager to learn, my students follow my model. I love to incorporate technology in my instruction, including "Smartboard" technologies. Since earning my M.Ed. in Urban Education in 1999, I have had the mindset to push as many students as I am able to, to the top. I have an Advanced Certificate K-8 and have held a status o

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. I have been teaching in special education institutions for the past 13 years, working with children having physical, mental, emotional, and/or learning disabilities. My degree in music has provided me work in other areas of performing arts including dance, acting, and

I believe that the best way to make sure somebody remembers something is to have them discover it for themselves. My teaching style is centered around this. I enjoy asking guiding questions to point a student in the right direction, and filling in the blanks afterward. I believe the ultimate role of a teacher is to help the student better themselves, and that the best way to do this is through instruction with positive reinforcement instead of direct criticisms, and through finding the right way to motivate the student as an individual. The guitar has always been my biggest passion, and I have made it my goal to learn as much about it as possible. This search has led me to study classical guitar and music theory formally at the University of Delaware for three years before leaving to study recording in a professional technical environment at the Omega Studios' School.

While in college, I spent my time home from school substitute teaching through Frederick County Public Schools. After graduation from American University, I continued to substitute and in the fall of 2005 I took a part-time position at a middle school, teaching Theatre Arts and Music Performance Lab. While teaching, I began my teaching certification through the Maryland State Department of Education, where I completed a course called Inclusion: Making it Happen. I also taught dance at Dance Unlimited and Elite Feet Dance studios in addition to working at numerous children's theatre camps throughout Maryland and West Virginia. I feel that I do my best work with Elementary age children. I like to make education fun and easily accessible. I love using games and hands on activities to teach lessons.
