About Brandi B.
Close
This is English reading! ABC's!!! (meaning not necessarily pertaining to music, as I am a music teacher)
I do have a college degree (not that that means everything), But I am a proficient reader, with great understanding. If you are an adult and you struggle reading and you'd like help, I am very patient and will help you learn to read. I realize in most cases USA adults can read; but if you're an exception, we're all an exception to somebody somewhere, I can help you!
If you're child is struggling with reading (I realize most parents would use that time to teach and bond with their child) but for if any reason you feel someone else may be more patient or better for that situation, or you simply don't have time. I am willing to help!
OKAY... MUSIC!!!
This also pertains to reading music! I can help adults or children read sheet music; beginners intermediate, up through approx. the 2nd book of Alfred Piano. I can also help to teach reading music for beginner guitar ...

*** Lesson Details ***
What a student may expect from this teacher:
Within 3-6 months students shall a have a good grasp on the foundation of their instrument/ craft; have a controlled sound; be playing/ singing what he/she hears; stronger, more defined tone; be able to play through/ sing through at least one song; have expanded range; confidence; and of course tackling personal goals set within the lessons.
My Goal is to facilitate bringing out what greatness already lies within and to assist in that growth, as well as teaching new information and the how to apply. I am not very strict on notation, as far as reading music (Piano and Voice). Lessons with me will more consist of the meatier portion of music how to use the instrument, developing the sound, understanding chord structures, playing/ singing what you hear, techniques and how to put it all together musically. However I will go through musical notation and reading chords, but it will not be a focus. (If you desire to play/ sing classically, I may not be the best teacher for you.)
For MUSIC PRODUCTION: Producing musical tracks and recording artist is the root and the focus. The curriculum is sculpted from LOGIC PRO X, REASON and PRO TOOLS software (subject to change). Students learn how to create what he/she hears and how to format it all together; Students learn how to track and record/ mix in the most professionally used software; Mixing and Mastering shall be touched upon as well.
When it comes to teaching and application of knowledge for each student I am serious about his or her growth; I don't want anyone wasting their money or time, so practice and dedication is necessary.

About Zaky
Hi, my name is Zak! Music is a beautiful thing. It has the so much power. It can be used to send a message, move and inspire people. Music can impact emotions, it is a beautiful and powerful thing!
Music, and teaching have always been a big passion in my life. The ability to take knowledge of a subject that you have, and show, share, and shape someone and pass on that knowledge to them. It is an amazing feeling. I am a passionate, and caring instructor. My teaching style is encouraging, motivating, and educational. I fully believe that you can do anything you set your mind to, and I use that by showing my students that I believe in them.
I use a curriculum that was taught to me, and has been used in schools and universities. This curriculum fits all age groups and skill levels. Starting with Rock, moving to Funk, ending with Jazz.

When drumming playing with music, learning improvisation, and playing by ear is important. I also focus on this, having students learn their favorite songs, and learn to play with new music as well. This keeps students interested, and adds a fun personal element to their lessons. I also have implemented use of a teaching app, so while practicing if students have a question they can ask me right then so to not forget, and I can give feedback. It also has a practice tracker tool. If you have any questions feel free to email me.
I look forward to meeting you, and helping you reach your music goals!

In a lesson, we may work on reading, listening, comprehension, writing, and conversation/speaking in the English language.
About Christien
Hi! I have a degree in Early Music Voice from the Longy School of Music of Bard College, and have studied voice with private teachers intermittently over the past two decades.
I also have a Master's in Cello Performance, and can teach cello at the beginner to upper intermediate level. My experience in teaching is with modern (standard) cello, but I can also teach the basics of baroque cello (with gut strings and a baroque bow). Gut strings can be finicky, but their sound is warm and expressive. If you are interested to know more, just drop me a note! Another instrument I can teach is the Viola da Gamba, a very interesting early 6- or 7-string instrument with gut strings. (That's the instrument I'm holding in my profile picture!)

Aside from music, I have taught English as a Foreign and Second Language (in Bulgaria with Peace Corps,
in New Mexico with Berlitz, at the U. of New Mexico). I would be very pleased to help students of any age with reading, listening comprehension, and writing.

About Katherine V.
Close
You can learn to read fluently and to increase your comprehension.
Reading has always been one of my favorite things. It can take you to different worlds and through time. It can open the doors to learning and introduce you to characters that soon feel almost real, like new friends. I look forward to hearing from you. If you want classes in the Manhattan Beach library, let me know, and give me some time, so I can schedule a room there in advance.

About Nancy M.

I am a certified teacher in AZ and I teach students 4-6 grade special education. I like to work with students and find what they need to learn and where they have holes in their learning. I teach look at the skills the student needs help with and focus on the students needs.
About NANCY
I received my bachelors degree from Ottawa University in 2002, in elementary education. I received my masters degree from Grand Canyon University in 2007. My masters degree is in curriculum and instruction with a focus on reading. I went back to school because I felt I could do more for students with special needs. I am currently teaching in a 4-6 grade self-contained special education classroom.
I have taught grades from 2-7 grades at different schools in Arizona. I have been working in special education for the last 5 years. I feel that I bring a unique perspective to tutoring because of my diverse background since I have started teaching.
If you have a special needs student please make sure that you share with me your students goals from their IEP at school, so that I can also help them with those skills as well.
If you have any

About Valerie P.

I have taught elementary students to read for 18 years. I teach with a program that builds upon itself in steps. I will assess your child first and find where in the process they need to start. Some start with the alphabet letters and sounds, other start with phoneme segmentation. Phoneme segmentation means focusing on the letter sounds without the printed word in front of them. Others will need to start with phoneme segmentation and others with blending cvc words. It is a proven system that works. I have witnessed students systematically learning how to read with this system.
About Valerie
Hi!! I have been teaching for 18 years. I have taught every grade level from kindergarten to 5th grade as well as technology. I enjoy teaching reading because it is the most rewarding. I have been using a program for the past 5 years that are getting some amazing results. It can seem a little repetitive but students really enjoy it when they seem improvements themselves as each lesson progresses. I love to see their excitement when they are successful. That is what makes teaching so awesome!! I love children and would love the opportunity to get to know and teach your child.
