Experience Summary
I've never actually tutored someone, but I am very good at relating with younger kids and High Schoolers. I was in band from 8th grade to 12th grade where I participated in the Front Ensemble section with keyboards, vibraphones, marimbas, xylophones and various other instruments. I was in the Wind Ensemble which is the highest band class and my last year they introduced the Percussion ensemble where I was a soloist. I was also the section leader during my last year as well. I teach a bible study class at my church where I am not always given my lesson on time, so I usually do very well under pressure. I did very well in High School by graduating with honors. I have always been in the top reading and Literature classes and I did very well in my Art classes. My grade in history was high eighties to high nineties so that was a great set of classes as well. Im postive I can help your kids or you in any of these ways.
Teaching Style
I don't use a lesson plan or guided lessons, I let the kids lead. They usually know what they need help on and if they can figure out what they are having problems with, then everything usually starts making sense. I usually keep my laptop with me, I refer to it if there is something I can't answer or figure out how to start drawing. I don't rely on it, but usually use it as a reference tool.
My Hobbies
I love to read and take long walks. Music is always around. I live with it. Typing and reading journals on the internet help me to keep all of my writing techniques in shape. I always draw in my spare time and I pride my self on having decent artistic skills.
Other Comments
I am currently working a part time job with hours ranging from 13 a week all the way up to 20. I am also attending school in the fall at Wiregrass Technical College for Criminal Justice but I am more then willing to set up times and dates with any potential Tutees around my work and class schedules.
