"I recognized Guifang's experience as a language educator immediately. She is patient, concise, and clearly enjoys teaching. Her assistance has been cruci

Hi everyone, I hope this message finds you well! I am Junling and am a professional pianist working at Boston Conservatory at Berklee. I have been play piano for 20+ years and have a Masters degree in Piano Performance. I love performance, but I am more passionate with teaching piano.
Although I love performing, I always found myself helping other pianists in need. I quickly realized that even though I have a passion for performing, I have an even greater passion for teaching. My philosophy of education is "not too hard, not too easy". As a teacher I carefully assess what skill level students are at to give assignments that will not set students up for failure (too difficult), and also will not set up students for failure to grow (too easy). I could tell the problem that students might have right away. Not only on musical way but also o
Although I love performing, I always found myself helping other pianists in need. I quickly realized that even though I have a passion for performing, I have an even greater passion for teaching. My philosophy of education is "not too hard, not too easy". As a teacher I carefully assess what skill level students are at to give assignments that will not set students up for failure (too difficult), and also will not set up students for failure to grow (too easy). I could tell the problem that students might have right away. Not only on musical way but also o
n the movement. Wrong movements could cause uncomfortableness while you playing your instruments. And I also could teach you the best way to practice for different skill spots based on my experiences.
My goal is to become a better teacher by having a chance to teach students with different interests and tastes in music like Classical, Jazz, Pop, or Broadway and to help students to approach their goal in music.

My name is Ali Y, I graduated from Boston University with a master degree in 2017. Before I graduate, I started to teach violin and Mandarin in Takelessons, as you can see in my reviews, I have a very high rating since I started, every student like to play violin with me because I always can see their smile in the lesson.
I’ve begun to study in BU with Professor Bayla Keyes since 2015, in these two years, I’ve learned a lot from her, not only my violin skill but also a lot of teaching methods.
I got my bachelor degree in Renmin University of China, which is one of the best university in China. I had 24 students before I came to the States, several of them won the first prize in different violin competition.
I’m very patient. And I know how to commute with students. Most of my student can learn very fast and be very happy at t

This days I am working as a teacher in an after school program in Brookline. I have recently finished all of the requirements for my second BA in Mathematics education and teaching certificate . My first degree is in Industrial Engineering and Management.

I am a natural teacher and communicator. I connect well with my students and love watching them learn and grow! It's rare to meet people who are open, aware and with whom we are truly comfortable. Yet we integrate far better when we are in calm, non-judgmental environments with intelligent company that we can relate with and enjoy. I look forward to working with you!
