I am an extremely enthusiastic person when it comes to learning. I want to spark your interest rather than force ideas onto you. I have been tutoring mathematics for over a decade now, and I have seen all types of students. These days I manage a tutoring center for a San Juan District charter school that offers help for all high-school subject matter. I currently am in the process of getting my credential to become a high-school math teacher as well. I have a passion for learning, and what better way to learn than to teach!

Outside of work and school, I spend most of my time visiting family, taking care of my dog, hanging out with friends, learning to use my camera, checking out local music, and participating in cultural events. I like skiing on winter days, biking on spring days, and playing foosball on rainy days. Let's not forget I'm human and I have my flaws- I'm addicted to coffee, I have a tendency to procrastinate, I'm clumsy, my car is often cluttered, and my shoes don't...

Everyone needs a little help sometimes whether it's with a special projects or an entire subject. I believe in the importance of education, reaching your potential, and conquering your weaknesses. Most importantly I want to be there for you. So let's get to know each other. I have an undergraduate degree in Film Studies and English with my sights set for grad school. I loved school and now have a firm grounding in critical thinking and practical work. Professionally I first and foremost see myself as a tutor, who loves to work with students with one goal in mind: help them reach their greatest potential. I also work at a coffee house in midtown where I get to meet new interesting people everyday. In my free time I intern with a non profit Yoga studio, travel, see movies with friends, cook, garden, go sailing, and write.

I've played flute since the day I fell in love with it. When I was a little girl I saw the flute for the first time and wanted to play it ever since. I had a rough start in learning how to play the flute but over the past 13 years I've developed enough skill to be an advanced musician.

When I first started I had private tutors to teach me how to play. Then I played in elementary, middle, and high school concert band. At Sacramento State, I've performed with the Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Marching Band, Concert Band, and Symphony Orchestra.

I'm currently an undergraduate student at Sacramento State majoring in Music Education & Performance in flute. This is my fourth year and I've already learned much about many instruments other than the flute. I've learned to play piano, trumpet, violin, cello, and most of the other instrument families. The cello was especially fun to learn because I love the deep rich sound it creates.

As a teacher, I've had two years of experience with...

Hello, my name is Julie B. I am a professional Singer/Actress/Entertainer with many years of experience.
I have developed a very exciting program that I know you're going to love! These lessons are not your average singing lessons and I am not your average singing teacher. I have developed my curriculum based on my many years of experience as a professional singer, and most importantly, on my four years as a student/protege of the late great Judy Davis, world renowned vocal coach. (cut & paste "Judy Davis/Vocal Coach to the Stars" for more information). Mrs Davis's singing techniques and methods were sought after by celebrities, singers, performers, actors, professional speakers and entertainers from all over the world. She taught such legendary singers as Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and people just like you and I. I paid a fortune for these lessons and now I want to share them with you. These lessons really work! I will teach you such techniques as singing in...

My name is Javier and I love to teach !

I believe music makes an individual happier and assists in intellectual growth. If you just want to learn 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' or pursue a professional career in music, you have to start with something and I would be more than glad to help you start in your new adventure.

So, here it is, a little bit about myself and my music background:

I am originally from Guanajuato, Mexico and in my last year of high school, I decided to take private piano lessons with a local teacher and it was during this time period that I learned classical pieces by Beethoven and Mozart. I also took music notation and I tried a hand at composing, discovering a new way to communicate in terms of music.

After moving to the USA, I resume my music education, learning new concepts on classical, blues and pop styles, as well as chord progression and accompaniment pieces. After a year and after completing the teacher training program, I...

Hey! I've been playing guitar and performing for about 20 years. I love rock/pop/metal/punk/country so that's what I focus on when I teach. I've toured around the US and Canada, my bands have performed at The Vans Warped Tour, Journey's Backyard BBQ, NAMM, and South By Southwest. I have performed with the following: Escape The Fate, The Used, Falling in Reverse, Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy), Karmin, Eve6, Switchfoot, Milo Greene, Family of the Year, Toshi Yanagi (Jimmy Kimmel Band), Lindsey Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac), Lindsey Pavao (The Voice on NBC).

I am mostly self taught but did take formal lessons with Tommy Armstrong-Leavitt at Skips music in Sacramento. I also went to school and received my A.A. in Music from American River College.

Currently I play guitar with my band Hero's Last Mission. I'm endorsed by Schecter Guitars and Presonus Audio.

Music has always played a big part in my life since the third grade when I joined an after-school program for a recorder choir. I decided to start learning the violin a couple years later but never imagined as a child that it would lead me to keep pursuing a college degree in music. It was at the start of college where I realized the power of the music of Bach Beethoven, Wagner, Prokofiev - just to list a few names. Music gives a voice to emotions and colors, leaving a unique opportunity of interpretation to the discretion of the artist. Bringing the joy of music alone is always my main goal for any of my students, and giving people the opportunity to express themselves comes secondary but is equally as important. I am currently finishing up my Studies and Sacramento State University in Violin Performance with Ian Swensen, Composition with Dr. Stephen Blumberg, and Violin Pedagogy with Judy Bossuat-Gallic and Tim Stanley. I am a certified teacher under the Suzuki Association of the...
