Thank you for your interest in lessons! I will help you achieve your goals and improve your skills, whether you're looking for music lessons, help in math, or need someone to proofread your essay before you turn it in. Every student is a unique person who deserves a lesson customized to their individual needs. Each of my students prosper in an atmosphere of patience and encouragement. While the lessons are fun and enjoyable, the serious student will be supported in the development of skills leading to a rewarding career, and the more casual students will grow in an appreciation of knowledge that will always enrich their lives.

I have been tutoring and teaching private lessons for over eight years, and currently have over 30 active students. I received my bachelor's degree in music with an emphasis on vocal performance at the University of Redlands in 2011, and my Associate of Arts degree in 2008 from College of the Desert. Currently I teach online, locally, and at my studio in Pasadena, CA, and cover a variety of subjects such as voice, music, theater, piano, math, english, music theory, just to name a few.

For academic tutoring (i.e. math, english, vocabulary) I work on helping the student understand their homework and help prepare them for tests. I can also provide worksheets if necessary and am prepared to demonstrate problem areas in different ways if needed, because everyone learns differently. For voice, piano, and acting lessons I teach the student based on what their current level is. If you have no experience, that's okay! My lessons are uniquely designed to fit your needs no matter what level you may be.

With this experience under my belt, I feel a desire to pass on my knowledge to students. I carry a strong passion to help people develop their abilities and make them their own. I truly believe that if someone wants something out of life they will achieve it with dedication, perseverance, confidence, and by having fun doing it!

American History

I received my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Redlands and have been teaching and tutoring ever since. Tutoring has been a very rewarding job for me these past years.

Music History

Music History

While attending school at College of the Desert, where I obtained my Associate of Arts in Music, I received a certificate in Music History. Just after graduating, I was awarded a music scholarship which enabled me to attend the University of Redlands, where I could continue detailed studies in music history with classes that each focused on a different musical era every semester (Romantic, Baroque, etc.). I later received my Bachelor of Music degree with an emphasis in vocal performance from the University of Redlands, and have been teaching private music lessons ever since.

Amazing Tutor

Jessie was first very personable. I went to her for help with sight reading and she taught me in a clear and understandable way concepts that I needed to recall, and some that were brand new. She has an engaging teaching style. She also tested my range and was very complimentary and taught me some tools of the trade in regards to my mouth in order to improve my range without strain!!! I left the lesson very excited for what I had learned, and very anxious to come back for more lessons!!!
