Teddy
Violin and Viola Instructor with Master's Degree
Hi, I'm Teddy! Originally from northern Virginia, I moved to Long Island, New York to further my studies in violin and viola, which I've been working at for 18 years. I earned my bachelor's degree in violin performance Magna cum laude from Shenandoah Conservatory and my master's degree in viola performance with a 4.0 GPA from the Aaron Copland School of Music. I've studied with many professors at the top of their fields around the world. I've attended several international music festivals on ... Read more
Thomas
Yale University Grad w/ 10+ Yrs Violin/Viola Teaching Experience
I have been performing for over 20 years and have extensively taught the violin and viola for over 10 years. I am classically trained and graduated from The Yale School of Music and Manhattan School of Music. I use books such as The Suzuki Method but am not limited to any one style of teaching. I believe that every student is different and comes with their own set of challenges and there's no one way to achieving the same goals. That being said, lessons would be very structured and catere... Read more

Knowledge is power, and the key to knowledge is to developing the critical thinking skills that translate to all areas of learning.... Read more
Matthew
Over 15+ Years of Tutoring and 8 Years of Teaching Mathematics
- $100 / h
- East Elmhurst , New York ( 11370 )
- 20 miles
My goal is for my tutee to achieve mastery and independence in what they want to learn. This can't be achieved by only teaching algorithms or memorized techniques, which is what many other tutors only offer. I tell all my students, it's easier to rely on a conceptual understanding of mathematics than isolated tricks or tactics for solving just a few particular problems. The latter knowledge base will often fade just a few days after taking a test. However, a heuristic understanding of mathema... Read more

The son of two English teachers, I’ve been tutoring, editing and proofreading since the 8th grade. On long car rides while other children were spotting VW Beetles, I was identifying participles and gerundial phrases. I have a Bachelor’s degree in English and a Master’s in School Counseling. As an SAT/ACT tutor I not only help students find the right answers, I teach the rules of English so they can understand *why* the answers are right. Knowing the rules means you find the answers more qu... Read more

I have had great success in 20+ years because I make up songs and sayings that permeate. I help you dissect a question, understand the language, and give test taking strategies.
