Private Instructor & Tutor
1986-Present
I have been a piano and theory teacher for 25 years. I have also taught
high school English, grammar, and literary analysis as a private
instructor. I tutored while in college at Kirkwood Community College in
Iowa, home schooled my own children for 15 years in every grade, and am
currently tutoring an ESL family.
I love education, am currently writing my own English curriculum, and have
created an enjoyable piano theory curriculum that teaches college level
theory material to young students.
I have taught both gifted and talented students as well as those who
struggle to learn. I have determined that everyone has his or her own
learning style and have realized many ways of discovering it.
