David
Experienced music theory, keyboard skills, and music history professor
I have music theory degrees from McGill University and the Eastman School of Music, as well as a master's in organ performance from Houghton College. But it was only after I finished with music school that I started to (slowly) learn how to integrate the practical and theoretical, and I'm now an award-winning composer (Editor's Choice from J.W. Pepper) and performer (for classical organ improvisation in two competitions). I was definitely not a prodigy, and I think the techniques I had to... Read more
Toni
Toni, a tutor equally at home in Humanities and Sciences.
Not so long ago the goal of education was to shape the thinking of younger generations so that, with solid background knowledge, they could, in turn, add wisdom to the common store. Since reasoning, interpretative, and problem solving skills are needed across the spectrum, different disciplines were interwoven and 'classics' -that is, the common pool of knowledge that had proved valuable and fertile over time- highly respected and heavily studied. All that has changed, in a misguided effort ... Read more

Let Me Help You Succeed
Empathy with you, my student, is paramount.

A bit of subject-matter-related humour often helps. I have high expectations when I work as a tutor but I will never make my students suffer. I am an intellectually curious person; I play to whatever degree of intellectual curiosity I find in students. I aim to m... Read more

Patti
Enthusiastic and Experienced tutor
I have 15+ years of elementary teaching experience. I've taught regular education (3rd/4th), special education (3-6th) and preschool (6 years). I realize that school can be very tough for some kids and it is satisfying to have a child master a difficult concept. Methods depend on the age and topic. I tend to aim to teach a specific skill, through introduction, practice, review and then a game (or song if kids are little). I've tutored both individually and in small groups. I enjoy tutoring s...
