Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Xiomara Ezell, and I am thrilled to meet you in the classroom! With a passion for music and art, I have dedicated over five years to teaching guitar, ukulele, and art classes that are all about having fun and getting creative. I’ve been playing music for over 10 years and drawing for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been exploring the exciting world of digital art for the past three years.
I have extensive experience working with students aged 6 to 18 in various settings, including one-on-one lessons, small groups of 5-10, and larger classroom sizes of 20-30. I began my teaching journey as an intern guitar teacher, and since then, I’ve taught on various platforms, helping students discover their love for music and art.
In my classes, I focus on making learning enjoyable and accessible. From beginner guitar and ukulele classes to exciting art sessions, I blend structured lessons with playful activities to keep students motivated and inspired. We’ll explore everything from easy one-finger chords and popular TikTok songs to creative art techniques and digital art projects.
My teaching philosophy is centered around creating a supportive and encouraging environment where every student feels valued and excited to learn. I believe in fostering creativity and confidence in each learner, helping them discover their potential and express themselves freely.
Outside the classroom, I enjoy exploring new music, painting, and spending time with my family. I am passionate about making each lesson a unique and fun experience, bringing creativity into everything we do.
Thank you for the opportunity to teach your child. I look forward to meeting you in the classroom. Enroll your learner today and let’s start this exciting journey together! :)
