Tutor in Clayton, North Carolina

Hello, I'm offering ESL lessons and tutoring for individuals or student groups (reduced rates for student group depending on number of students). I have a masters degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), 14 years of experience in teaching ESL in NC public schools and 2 years experience in community colleges. Also, I teach in home lessons for guitar, bass guitar, piano, banjo, ukulele , mandolin and drums to ages 5 & up in the Raleigh, Garner, Clayton, Wendell and Knightdale areas . I offer lessons in individual and group settings.. Learning music theory (as it relates to the student's progress); developing a sense of rhythm, phrasing & melody are also part of the lessons, as well as learning the fundamentals of learning to read music. (Older students may choose not learn reading of music as part of lessons, so we can base lessons on developing knowledge of chords & developing rhythms & learning chosen songs. Whether you are a beginning student of music, or looking to advance your musicianship- the advantages of my teaching is that I will progressively teach students the elements & fundamentals of their chosen instrument that I have learned over many years. So, you (the student) will receive a carefully designed lesson by lesson learning of what musical knowledge I have accumulated, but taught at a pace comfortable to each student depending on their rate of progress. I am a graduate of Music Education with 25 years teaching experience. I have students at the very beginning of instrument studies & others who are playing advanced techniques in folk, country, rock, blues, and classical music. Students that can not read music notation begin simple reading exercises of note recognition, time signatures, note values, eye hand coordination and more. Lessons are designed for each student's learning needs. My rates are reasonable and depend on length of lesson wanted and location. So if lessons are requested and you ask about my rates, please include in your email or phone call- the length of lesson wanted (30 minutes, an hour or more) and a specific description of your location.
