Musical Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Bentonville, OH

As a non-traditional student, earning an Associates in Applied Science Degree majoring in Respiratory Therapy at Shawnee State University I excelled in both Science and English. I have written several essays, lab reports, and presentations and have been published in Guidepost Magazine. I have experience as a tutor and mentor from elementary (all subjects) to college level (science and English) students. I also have experience with developmentally challenged students. I have specialize training in “The Gentle Teaching Method” pertaining to the developmentally challenged student. I have discovered that this method works with traditional learners as well. I am extremely patient and believe that all children possess individual learning skills and I am dedicated to discovering which technique to use to motivate your child to find their academic success.

I have working with people of all ages since my teen years to help them excel in areas they once struggled. I currently do some subbing in local districts and help out area students in various content areas. I taught school for 12 years at the middle level, mostly in Math. I developed and implemented an AT-Risk program in the Milwaukee area. Then became a stay at home mom. I currently work at an area Insurance Company and help students when I can. I try a variety of approaches to see what works with each student. If you have 25 students in a class, you can have 25 different learning styles. I believe a lot in hands-on and learning from others. Questions are always welcome. I continually do course work to keep up on new approaches. Being teachable is key. I have seen students I work with have success. These students range from the gifted to the so-called difficult child. I lo

My teaching philosophy incorporates 3 concepts. My teaching is student centered, success focused and goal oriented. This means that instruction is given taking into account the student's experiences. Success focused means that the level of material is appropriate to the student creating pooportunities for the student to be successful and then allowing the teacher to build on those successes. Goal oriented means that each activity and lesson has specific learning outcomes. I am a licensed Physics and Chemistry teacher with a Masters degree in Instructional Design with an emphasis in Technology. I am relocating back to Cincinnati and am looking for a position that will utilize my experiences and technology skills. I have 13 years of teaching experience in a broad range of academic environments from disadvantaged to accelerated. My experiences have given me the ability to adapt to a varie

I approach teaching and tutoring as an exercise in problem solving. It requires assessment of the student's background, previously mastered skills, learning style, and engagement with the content. I believe that anyone can be taught anything; the key is developing an engaged, encouraged student with the fundamental knowledge to grasp the concepts at hand. Sometimes this requires remediation of specific skills. Other times, a student needs to understand the big picture so concepts can take root. Some students may require a visual demonstration while others master concepts best by diving head first into the content and asking questions when they arrive at a sticking point. I believe my flexibility and breadth of experiences and interests help me to connect to each student. My background includes a Bachelor's degree in history and economics supplemented with minors in math, music, and secon

As a parent of middle school students, I understand the importance of motivating students by using real world examples and providing hands-on experiences. I enjoy working one-one-one with students, learning their strengths, and using those to have fun and make meaningful progress on the curriculum. Because of my professional background, I believe in basing study on solid principles such as methodology, repetition, and use of the scientific method to help the student retain the concepts in the long term. I especially hope to be a role model to students and share the joy of working in a technical field. I earned my mechanical engineering degree from The Ohio State University and worked as an engineer and a manager in a scientific field for over 20 years before starting my own business in information research. Throughout my life, I have naturally gravitated to a teacher/mentor role bec

While my degree is in English and teaching certificate from the University of Kentucky, most of my career has been spent in the area of corporate training for a Fortune 100 company. I conducted classes for new employees and managers and used my writing skills to provide training and testing materials. For the past four years I have done substitute teaching for levels Kindergarten through twelfth grade. In addition, I have tutored for the past few months in the subjects of phonics, vocabulary, reading and mathematics for first through twelfth grades. Every person is unique so I try to hone my tutoring style to the learning style of the individual student if possible. In that I bring a certain energy and enthusiasm for learning to my teaching which exudes to the students. I am excited with each student's success and strive to work hard with each person to encourage them and to applaud and
