Award-Winning Guitar Tutors

...I enjoy writing meaningful essays, and working on subjects of engineering such as math and physics. I also have a strong background in music, especially guitar. Additionally, having started school in special education and worked my way to an Ivy League school, I am very familiar with navigating learning disabilities and more common challenges with keeping pace in the classroom. I hope to be here to help you succeed, wherever your starting point is.

...mistake!". The teacher tries to hear what the student wants and then figures what to work on in order to get there. I've been both a student and teacher of guitar, and I try to take that teaching style into my tutoring. I never start by explaining material or by "simplifying" it (because that usually means repeating it again and again!) but by listening to the student and finding out exactly the student already knows...

...it from their own experiences, and have a broad understanding. In my spare time I love to hike, play Lego-Batman, play board and card games, and argue philosophical subjects or just about what is truly spicy or not with my wife. I also love to play tennis (I used to give lessons), volleyball, basketball, soccer, trumpet, other video games, hike, read textbooks, especially history (yes really), read sci-fi and watch it as well. I have...

...storytelling with some of the most notable instructors and practitioners in the field. My interest in philosophy and first-order logic led me to undertake the LSAT as a personal challenge. My first attempt put me in the 97th percentile, and I've continued to study and refine my test-taking methods, treating LSAT questions like my daily crossword puzzle. I believe that learning is a process of mastering tiny skills that cumulatively add up to a grasp...

...test prep to music composition. I've taught businessmen, teenagers, and a classroom full of 10 year olds. And I've gotten results every time. I strongly believe in the power of personalized education, tailored for the individual student and human being. When I’m not tutoring, I spend most of my time on my two indie rock bands, in which I play guitar and bass and write many of the songs. I also like to take my...

...the more we are able to avoid making the same mistakes in the future. I am comfortable working with students with different goals whether it be passing a test for a high school course or if you need to prepare for travel in Latin America. Also, I am a firm believer in tailoring lessons to individual learning styles and preferences in order to help students meet their goals. In my free time, I like to...

...top student. I've been tutoring for over 4 years now and in that time, I've learned a ton of effective teaching methods. I've also learned many that don't work at all - we will skip those. My goal is to have you learn as much as possible, as efficiently as possible, while having as much fun as possible. Whether you want to explore subject fundamentals or just improve your SAT score, I'm your guy!... We've always...

...all that is necessary for an academic breakthrough is seeing old material from a new vantage point! I know the importance of developing a strong and functional rapport with students. During my time as a Substitute Teacher and as a one-on-one Guitar Instructor, I have learned techniques and strategies for successful and patient engagement. I will create an individualized instructional plan that capitalizes on your strengths and is tailored to your personality. So let's hit...

...I have found that I am particularly adept at teaching others of all ages and educational levels. For example, as a medical student, I was often required to educate fellow medical students, pre-medical students, resident and attending physicians, nurses, and the remainder of the healthcare team about patients, medical conditions, journal articles, etc. Teaching and informing these individuals, who all had differing levels of education, at the same time was tricky, but I found that...

...a young child who looks to you for more than just the answers to his homework. Starting from when I was twelve, I have been a tutor to many kids of all ages and learning abilities from grades four to sophomore year of college. My goal is to not only teach, but to inspire in all aspects and areas of growth. For this reason, I have worked with special needs children at a summer camp,...

...I believe that my background in education and my history as a student of Spanish allows me to better understand the problems students face when learning a new language and to recognize common mistakes and pitfalls. While I may be a teacher, I am fun-loving and laid back and like to create an environment where my students can enjoy learning the language. This is not to say that I do not take my job seriously....

...and Mathematics graduate of the University of Oklahoma. I will be entering a PhD program in Chemical Engineering this fall at Northwestern University. I have over 7 years of ACT tutoring experience and especially like helping students with the science and math section. Throughout college, I also gained experience tutoring classmates in science, math and engineering. I love helping a student tackle a difficult subject and seeing their reaction when they make a breakthrough!

...always tried to teach on the side because I enjoy it. Back in my country I was an English teacher, so I understand a lot about grammars and how the English language works. This is very helpful to give you tips that will help you to produce sentences and learn in a practical way. Grammars can be abstract, but when you apply them to real situations you understand and learn a lot!... Experience is the best...

...went on to teach in Turkey (did I mention that I love to travel?) for one year. After returning to the US, I taught briefly at a local junior high school, but then took a job teaching students in China via an online program. I love English - reading, writing, and teaching. I have written several novels and truly enjoy all the gifts of language. Aside from English, I enjoy playing guitar and drums, hiking...

To play a wrong note is insignificant, to play without passion is inexcusable.

I am a guitarist of 15 years with a Bachelor's of Music in Music Technology. I love to teach guitar, music theory, and help developing musicians deepen their love of music. I have played in bands, in ensembles, and as a singer-songwriter.

...Government at the collegiate level. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from California State University, Northridge; and a Master of Arts in International Affairs, with a specialization in Middle Eastern Comparative Government, from the Elliott School of International Affairs at The George Washington University in Washington, DC. I have also taken Arabic courses at the Middle East Institute in Washington DC, as well as at the Arabic Language Institute in Fes, Morocco.

...so that students can ask ANY questions they desire to ask because it is often the questions we don't ask that inhibit our growth as learners. Ultimately, I wish to build confidence in my students to show that they're unbelievably smart and can improve upon anything they wish. The newly acquired skills and greater self-confidence students will gain in my tutoring will help eliminate any test-taking anxiety and generate academic growth and success. In my...

I am a Chemical Engineering Student at Brigham Young University, I'm happy to help with any chemistry or math, but can also help in other areas of study.

Music has always been such a large part of who I am, so much that it's difficult to picture a life without it. I teach because I believe that everyone deserves to have music in their life.
