Quinn
The Music Man: Spreading my Knowledge to the World
Hey, My name is Quinn, and I'm currently studying in the School of Music at DePaul University. One of my primary goals in life is to pass on the knowledge that I have learned to others. I believe that knowledge is useless if we don't pass it down to younger generations. The thing in life that I enjoy most is playing the piano and studying music theory. I began playing piano right after I turned five years old, and haven't looked back since then. I am a very easy going guy who realizes that... Read more

An individualized approach to help you realize your potential
Tutoring, I believe, is an individualized, collaborative process between a teacher and a student. The process is informed by the tutor's philosophy of teaching and enthusiasm for learning, and by the student's learning needs, skills, circumstances, and objectives. I agree with the experts who say that the teacher should create a supportive, intellectually-stimulating environment, in which the teacher guides the student through the student's own learning processes to foster independent lea...
