Greetings! I am, really, a middle aged jack-of-all-trades. Math, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus, writing and grammar, science, social sciences, philosophy, history, music and more have been regular and intrinsic parts of my life for twenty years. I teach from the perspective of practical usage -- direct experience, not theory or rote.

Learning comes from understanding more than from knowledge. I will learn about you and the way you think, then mold the subjects to fit you. I will ensure that you get what you are doing and why, while keeping up with daily work. Then I will
help you fit the details into your new understanding. Organization and study skills are also an intrinsic part of my strategy.

We are all mathematicians! We are all scientists! We are all sociologists! We are all musicians! We just get a little confused and intimidated by the standard languages of such things. I want to help you love subjects you fear. Together we can connect your mind's language with the standard languages to give you a foundation for success which will stick with you your whole life, in any discipline.

Contact me as well for test preparation. I did very well on the ASVAB, the SAT, and others.

English

I am a natural with usage and grammar, and I work well with non-native English speakers. I also regularly do "heavy" reading.

Sight Singing

I have been singing for as long as I have been able to walk. Beginning with church hymns and pageants, on to swing choir in high school and college, and lead singing for working bands in my 20s.

Reading music is as natural for me as reading words, and by combining scale and progression rudiments and your favorite songs with their written notation, I can make it natural for you, too.

COACHING METHODS: Breath work, listening skills, scale and progression rudiments, range improvement,... Read More

Study Skills

Regardless of the subject I am teaching, study skills are almost always the place to start. Let's talk about your lifestyle, your sleep habits, your diet, your time management priorities and your attention span.

I identify a student's style, strengths and limitations, then strategize an individual plan. I am familiar with recognizing and working around most common learning disabilities (often the student is simply unable to perform classic study skills).

Voice (Music)

I have been singing for as long as I can walk. Beginning with church hymns and pageants, on to swing choir in high school and college, and lead singing for working bands in my 20s.
COACHING METHODS: Breath work, listening skills, scale and progression rudiments, range improvement, dynamics, projection, microphone usage, ear training and sight singing. Basic and applied music theory apply to all.
