Subject: Drum Lessons

Kevin "Cal" Neal Profile
Hi! Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. THE INFECTIOUS LOVE OF LEARNING The single most important thing that you can do in selecting a tutor is to get one who is passionate about learning, passionate about teaching, and passionate about the subject matter. That passion is contagious, and when the student realizes how interesting even the driest of subjects can be, then they are typically more interested in committing to the consistent hard work that it sometimes takes to succeed. THE MAGIC OF MUSIC I primarily teach music - drums and percussion - but as you can see below I also tutor a variety of other subjects. My background as a musician includes over 25 years of playing experience on drum set, 15 years of orchestral playing, and another 10 years of marching performance. My music teaching experience includes both private lessons as well as group instruction (drum lines, orchestral ensembles), and includes most recently being selected by the Dean of the Los Angeles Music Academy to tutor for Harmony/Theory/Ear Training, and for Hand Percussion, working with both individuals and small groups (4-6 people). I also have training and experience in recording using several popular DAW software packages, including Pro Tools, and served as a student assistant in the Academy studio. I help recording students set up their own home studio areas, getting mics and channels sorted out, how to apply effects, and get great sounds from the get go. For more information on my musical experience and the lessons I teach, please visit: www.learningmusician.com/kcal71 OF TECHNICAL THINGS Success in my previous career as a civil engineer required a strong background in mathematics and various physical sciences. My experience tutoring my peers while in college and graduate school prepared me to tutor today both college-bound high school and home school students, as well as those students already entrenched in college-level studies. In my work as an engineer, I developed a strong skill set in Excel and Word, including programming custom macros in Visual Basic. I taught a series of workshops in Excel for coworkers, helping them increase their own productivity, and was the resident expert for these software programs at several companies I worked for. I can assist you with your next spreadsheet or word processing task, and show you some tricks to help boost your productivity. SPEAKING YOUR MIND I think that to be able to show that you have mastered a subject, or at least are making progress, then you need to be able to communicate yourself effectively. I have decades of experience drafting technical reports, analytical and persuasive essays (some scholarship award winners, I might add!), cover letters and resumes. I also have had to develop techniques for documenting calculations in the technical subjects so that my calculations could be more easily checked and corrected. These critical skills are often the deciding factors in who gets accepted to selective schools, who secures scholarship funding, who gets the best grades, even who is the best candidate for a job, and are ones that I enjoy coaching students on. FEE SCHEDULE I teach out of students' homes from Tacoma to Seattle, at a rate of $40 an hour, or I can teach you at my home in Lacey (near Olympia) at a lower rate of $30 an hour. Half-hour music lessons for young folks are available at $20 a half-hour.

Mr. A. Bowen Profile
Hi, I am a college senior in B.S. Biochemistry. I am able to teach high school-level and some college-level mathematics, and as well some physics concepts, on fairly short notice. I have very little actual tutoring experience--I have only taught people to play music (specifically, the drums, and I am still available to do this!), and the sessions were informal. Still, I am a good and patient helper, and I am very excited about the opportunity to teach and to get people interested in the subjects that I love! I tutor one-on one, which is probably the best method. I can meet clients at their homes, or at the local library or other "neutral" location. The pay is negotiable, but would typically be $15/hr. If you have any questions, email me at bowena@duq.edu. Take care, Austin Bowen
