9 Elwood Tutors

I have been familiar with my subjects for a little over three years and some change. I have been a student tutor and teachers assistant at the Art Institute for almost a full year now and I love the feeling of accomplishment when I can help a student understand a difficult program or obtain a better understanding of a subject. My experience with the Adobe programs is from CS5 and CS5.5 but I am adaptable to newer and older versions with little time. My teaching style is primarily demonstr... ... More

As a former international student, I know first hand the struggle and the hardship it is to learn a subject or a foreign language. I didn't have any idea where to turn in order to pass my English class until somebody suggested a tutor. That was a great idea, but I didn't have the means to hire one. So, I offered to an English major student that if he could tutor me in English Comp, I would tutor him in Spanish 101. That worked for both of us and we passed our classes with flying colors.

I have a byline that says "Music is Much More than Just Learning Notes." I believe that! Anyone can learn notes, fingerings, etc. What I try to do is add that "soul" element that each person has and cultivate that into meaningful music! So, with all that said, here's what I try to instill: A lesson is a place to share! I listen to... ... More
