More About This Tutor...

I have worked as a music teacher for 10 years, and I spent one year working as a Title I paraprofessional. As a music teacher, my focus is on music literacy and appreciation. I strongly believe that every child has the right to a quality music education. As a Title I para, I worked with individual and small groups of K-6 students in the areas of reading, writing, and math.
A wonderful characteristic of music is that learning and experiencing music addresses all three main learning styles--visual, aural, and kinesthetic. Students enjoy my class, and it is wonderful to see what they remember long after they have been in my class. I also enjoy working with talented and gifted students to help them realize their potential.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an academic professional,I taught and coached students of diverse cultures in rural and urban communities. I used various techniques to engage students in the learning process. In addition, I integrated diverse technologies through the development of units that included computer literacy skills, then adapted activities to help meet the needs of individual learners. I coordinated annual programs that encouraged interactive learning between students and various media. I also conducted one on one interaction with special needs students.
I believe that it takes a village of caring and loving supporters to help our children attain success in learning life-long skills. My craving for excellence and willingness to use difficulties in learning, challenges me to find better techniques for all students to learn. I respect the diversity of all students, display patience, exhibit enthusias ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching and working with students of all ages. I believe that all students have the ability to create master pieces in art if they put forth the time and effort and have the right encouragement. I have seen too many times that students may feel that they can't draw or that they aren't creative. I try to encourage students that art is a process and they will grow with practice and time, just as in any academic area. I show students that progress is always aparent in the evolution of artwork.
As a fine artist and educator, I have many years experience teaching students in a variety of settings and with varying age groups. I have worked as a long-term substitute teacher for art at Northmont Middle School teaching students how to create various art projects. I have also had the opportunity to teach at Precious Blood Catholic school in the area of art for grades K-12. I ... read more

Prior to playing professionally and continuing since then I have enjoyed teaching students as young as 4 students on through college reach their musical goals. I believe that music is music whether it be a Beethoven sonata, or a Bill Evans jazz transcription the same beauty, technique and drive for success is necessary for both. (Beginners) Method book, solfege singing, listening (Intermediate) music theory, simple classical literature (cleminti, Chopin nocturne (Eb)), some use of contemporary music Advanced students continue in more difficult classical pieces (Bach inventions/preludes/fugues), students at this level may also begin to study jazz and/or forms of contemporary music if they so desire.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is laid back and comfortable. I like to use flash cards, fun games, and rhyming teachniques. I think children have to like their teacher to do well. Many of my former students have kept in contact with me over the years.. being invited to their graduations, weddings and other parties. I made a very good impression on them...as most often teachers can be forgotten as the years go by. I try to make learning fun and I like to incorporate color and coloring to work sheets and assignments. I am very creative.
As a business woman of 24 years, I have gained valuable experiences in many different sectors; banking, customer service, marketing, sales, public relations and teaching.

I graduated from the Ohio State University with a Bachelor's Degree in German & History. I have studied abroad twice, and completed a summer semester at Bonn University prior to graduation. I am extremely passionate about history and foreign languages and spend a few weeks each summer abroad. I have been teaching piano for the past four years. I am responsible for teaching theory, history, and playing skills, as well as the preparation of my students for competitions. This fall I plan on beginning my Master's Degree in Secondary Education at the University of Cincinnati.
I love teaching. I am very patient, and as I have been teaching piano the past few years, I have learned to adapt to the student and change teaching methods to best suit his or her needs. I put forth 100% effort in my study sessions and expect the same from my students. I think all children deserve the opportunity ... read more

Having achieved many goals as a marketing communications professional, I am interested in expanding my horizons and seeking new challenges by assisting others through educational advancement.

I have circled myself with music my entire life. I began playing clarinet at age ten, and during my college years I studied music theory and composition while majoring at piano. I am often complimented on my ability how to teach others music parts and instruction. I am slow and precise with the student to understand not only each segment of instruction but the why and how it fits into the music. It’s part of a complete understanding of not just playing a part, but also harmonic content and structural form that makes the music piece its special qualities. I’ve taught private students from beginning piano to an Elvis impressionist. Today my career is built around music, and I welcome any students I can share my abilities with.
My compassionate teaching style will be tailored specifically to the student at the level he or she is at. It is essential to make this experience fun, ... read more

I have always enjoyed playing the piano. And I took extreme satisfaction from teaching piano. I would sit beside them while they played the pieces I had assigned to them to practice since the previous lesson. If they had problems or questions about something, I was there to help. We'd talk and laugh, and I hoped they learned through it all. Above all, I never wanted to yell at them or berate them, because I knew they'd never learn if they felt pressured or thought I was there only to critize them. While I don't think I ever had any junior Beethovens, I'd like to think there are several people out there now who still enjoy sitting down at a piano every now and then to play something.
I have a non-teaching BA degree in English. I spent all 4 college years working on my college newspaper, and two years after graduation working for a local newspaper. My job responsibilities incl ... read more
