"Hello! My name is Alyssa and I tutor Violin, Music Theory and English. Here is my Experience:

English/The Language Arts:

Majoring in Philosophy at New York University and Creative Writing in high school, I have extensive experience with English writing. Accolades-wise, I have many publications, have published a book: "Hinged," and served as chief editor for the "Parallax Literary Journal." I tutored English to high-schoolers and taught the English Language to foreign students. Majoring in Philosophy, I can help you go beyond in understanding how to form sentences and write strong essays/papers. I know the linguistic reasoning behind an argument when formulating argument papers. Additionally, I understand the logical structure and the literary structure different essay's should hold. I would enjoy helping you strengthen your writing skills!

Music:

I have been playing the violin for 9 years! I took courses in music at NYU and have education in music theory! I have been playing piano for 3 years, and taking private voice lessons and choir. I have been composing for 4 years and have taken music lessons at Colburn. I received a grant to put a music show and was first chair in my orchestra. I have played at the LACMA, and at many events. I have been teaching for 2 years, and have taught in both classroom/group settings, and private lesson settings.

Working with Kids:

I love working with kids! my past experience has included teaching music theory, Theatre, violin, and voice to kids. I have tutored kids in math and English, and have taught international students English! I have toured to 6 different elementary schools in Southern California to perform and show kids the beauty of theatre. I use a kind, structured, and positive approach!

Music and Language Arts are both very important and can help with motivation for academics enabling creative processing and thought by using the left and right hemisphere of their brain.
