My comments on tutoring Guitar : I've been teaching the basics to guitar for the past 6 years.

I obtained a B.S. in Biology, with a concentration in aquatic science, from Wittenberg University in 2006. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored elementary students in math and science twice a week for two years. After college, I moved into the marine science profession. In August of 2008, I started teaching High School Biology I, Earth and Space Science, and Physical Science to students in Polk County. In addition, after school hours were spent with two students taking AP Biology classes. Both students achieved a 4 or higher on their placement exams. My tutored students reported an increase in their ability to record class notes, study, and take tests. My previous tutoring experiences have included subjects such as; elementary science, elementary math, Algebra (I & II), Geometry, Pre- Calculus, Anatomy, Physiology, Biology (both College and HS level), HS Chemistry, basic w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Motivating students to want to learn is a key facet of my success as a teacher. I have found that educating people to understand ‘why’ things are done is essential to having them truly understand the subject matter being taught. In short I teach them how to learn. My approach always includes the “coach approach” so the student knows you honestly want them to win and get a good grade in a particular subject. An essential component of the “student teacher” experience is developing a verbal performance contract in which responsibilities of the student and the teacher are very clear. This way the student learns to “trust” me and wants to learn more from me.

I like to teach students in a way that they can relate to. Talk to them about their futures and what they would like to be when they grow up or when they graduate. I like to propose real life situations where they might have to or need to use math. I like to get to know them and learn about their interests and help them see how a certain subject could help them. I believe its about getting on their same level, gaining their respect and having them being comfortable with you. I have a proven track record of helping students succeed and having a different outlook on learning.
I am a graduate from the University of Central florida in Civil Engineering. Obtaining my degree has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an undergraduate I started to tutor Chemistry in 2007. Since then I have tutored Chemistry to many different students in one-on-one and large group sessions. I have submitted by certification to be accepted by the State of Florida Department of Education and am awaiting confirmation. While in college I made straight A's for about 3 years, excelling in the sciences. I am very experienced with General Chemistry labs and lecture sessions. I am currently the Science Teacher at the First Academy Classical School program where I teach Biology and Chemistry part-time.
I love to cater to each students needs. That's why I love tutoring because I can do this. Some students are visual learners, some learn by hearing, and some by doing. I incorporate all of these into my tutoring. I want to see all of my students not only get good grades but to truly grasp the concepts.

I started at age of 8 studying classical guitar and after finished the Conservatory Music Villa Lobos (Parana-Brazil) I start to teach. I have earned two Bachelor degrees, BA in Instrument Performance (Classical Guitar) at Escola de Musica e Belas Artes do Parana (Brazil) in 1996 and BA in Theology at Florida Christian University (USA) 2002. Always expanding the knowledge in many areas as possible as music, instrument, worship studies and much more.
I have absolutely confidence that all people can learn play guitar, It's very important to have the professional guidance since the first steps of the learn process. Each class is a possibility to learn a new information and to have fun at same time. Every class will have the week practice home work witch the student must have at least 15 minutes practice every day.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and playing the guitar. I believe that music and the arts are an essential part of a well-rounded education. I am patient and easy going and I love working with children. I believe it is possible for anyone to learn to play the guitar regardless of talent or musical ability. My study method provides a basic understanding of music theory as it applies to the guitar through a series of exercises, the use of visual aids and hands-on experience. My goal is to create an enjoyable, positive way for each student to discover their own ability to make music.
I have been playing the guitar for 35 years. I have played professionally in numerous bands and have been a musician for most of my life. For the past 5 years I have been teaching friends, neighbors and their children how to play the guitar. I have developed a system which I believe enables the student to learn the b ... read more

When I begin tutoring a new student, my first objective is for us to get to know each other. The student will not be able to receive very much from me until he/she is comfortable with me. Once they feel that I care, they open up and the learning really begins! When I really get a feel for the personality and whatever particular challenges are unique for this person in this class, I am able to determine the best way to communicate the subject and improve the skills. I like to think outside the box to find the best way for that student to have that "got it" moment!
Literally all my life I have been asked by students, parents and teachers to help students who were having trouble. I get tremendous fulfillment from watching someone who has been frustrated finally "get it." In addition to teaching music lessons, tutoring all subjects, and homeschooling my own two children, I have worked ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with children. I believe for my experience that all kids can learn but in their own ways and time. This means that there are approximately three kinds of learning: visually (visual things help this kind of children to learn better like drawings or putting color to difference things), auditory (this ones like to learn having backgrounds of sounds. It could be either with music, songs, etc). I'm a very peaceful but right person who loves to see kids grow in every way. I am patient, easy ongoing and considerate. I believe that a few good educators can make a difference not only in your child's life but in the whole world.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a recent college graduate from the University of Central Florida I know what it takes to face a difficult situation and make the best of it. My first two years at a local community college were spent working 40+ hours a week so I could save up and have the opportunity to move away and further my education. During my time at UCF I was given the opportunity to become an Avid tutor at a local Middle School. My experiences learned as an avid tutor were invaluable and helped shaped what I want to do with the rest of my life: teach.
As an avid tutor I was required to follow the avid tutoring format. Before I joined the program I was unaware of what exactly this entailed. The avid program suggests groups of 5-7 students gather around a table with the avid tutor being placed at the head of the table. My job is not to tutor, but to rather facilitate the learning as students take turns p ... read more
