Trumpet Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Alachua, FL

As a graduate of the University of Florida, I studied Physics and played football as well. Earning a Bachelors degree in Physics, I studied all levels of Calculus, Differential equations, linear algebra, thermal physics, electromagnetism, chemistry 1 and 2, mechanics, quantum mechanics, and many other classes. Therefore, I am very skilled in the areas of math and science. I am more capable as a teacher and mentor to students in middle school and high school. While I have a lot of experience with elementary students, I find my best impact on middle and high school students. I like to use the Socratic method in which I try to make the student answer there own question, by posing other logical questions in which they can deduce the resolution.

The easiest way I can explain my teaching style is to begin with the fact that I have worked for Disney for the past 6 years. I always have a smile on my face, and I believe that encouragement is the basis for all true learning. Students need someone to encourage them more than feed them facts. By guiding students through new concepts and learning with them instead of for them, each student is building his or her own learning tools that are more likely to last than the tools their tutor may provide for one homework assignment and never use again. I love putting all the pieces of the puzzle together - those "a-ha!" moments when students have breakthroughs in learning and understand have to be some of the most rewarding feelings in the world. Through high school and college, I have always excelled in academics. I received a 3 or better on multiple AP classes through high school: AP Spanish

If there is anything I believe about teaching, in any form, it's that you need to be passionate about what you are teaching, yourself, before you can translate that to others seeking knowledge. I am incredibly passionate about English, and endeavor to transmit that to any pupil; furthermore, I am very understanding, patient, and sympathetic when it comes to a teaching style, but know how to motivate students to want to learn themselves. I do not teach merely to help students improve their grades, but look instead to further their understanding and develop their interests in subjects they feel uncomfortable with. I am currently an English major at the University of Florida, looking to finish my undergraduate education in two semesters and graduate with honors and a Bachelor of Arts. I have had past experience working and volunteering with children on an individual level, teaching them var

I enjoy working with children. There are several assessment tools that I use in order to see where I would need to begin with any child. One of my favorite forms of assessment is Great Leaps.I have used this program and have seen growth in all subjects with students. Some students who were reading below grade level are now functioning with confidence on grade level.We all are like candles someone sparked our fire and now look how bright our lights our shinning.I would love to be that spark for your child. I come to you with thirteen years of teaching experience. I am the mother of three. I was raised and attended college right here in Jacksonville, Fl. I graduated from Edward Waters College in 1993.It is my vision and mission to give a student confidence and compassion in reading, writing, and history.All children can benefit!

I enjoyed conducting cost accounting classes and one on one tutoring to three semester MBA students during my two years in the MBA graduate program at Emory University. I also passed the CPA exam in the State of Georgia. My undergraduate experience was well rounded and included sports, philanthropic and fraternal activites. I spent the last 12 years owning and operating twenty (20) Wendy's in the Jacksonville, FL area. The Wendy's experience was highly condusive to enhancing my interpersonal skills. I sold my business this year and have extra time on my hands and would very much like to help students succeed with their studies. I am patient and relaxed. I have to be - I have three children under age 11 at home. My experience with teaching has told me that each student can reach their goals if given the appropriate learning environment. Sometimes a single tutor can offer this chance. I wo

I have experienced that everyone learns differently; some people are visual, audible, physical, or a combination. I know because I struggled in classes before. I strongly believe that "no child should be left behind" due to lack of resources or lack of understanding. I have plenty of patience and will to break any barriers that a child may come across. I believe that discipline prepares a student for higher standards and optimism is the key to open any closed door. If a student is strong in one area and weak in another, my plan is to make the weak point the strongest and emphasize the strong. As a Post-Graduate student, I know the meaning of hard work that leads to success. In 2007, I have received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminology and currently completing my second degree in Biology. I applied my skills across a broad spectrum of science, math, behavio
