Musical Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Boca Grande, FL

I use age and level appropriate methods to help each student best understand the materials being studied. I evaluate each individuals natural learning style; looker, listener, or mover, and use this to present materials in an understandable format that gives the student the best chance of success. As a teacher, tutor, and parent, I have enjoyed years of experience finding creative teaching methods to help students understand difficult concepts where standard classroom methods failed. I truly enjoy helping students achieve their academic goals and feel good about their abilities to succeed.

Since retiring, I worked with a local government grant program for youthful offenders, teaching GED classes and preparation for the FCAT exam. Reading and English were my focus. I retired from a class A school district in Michigan where I was basically the theatre department. I ran an active program for the high school, and produced two to three major plays a year. I also taught all levels of English in the classroom. I would describe myself as a likeab

I have spent my entire career in marketing and sales, first, then applied those skills to marketing communications. My interest is in health care and I am currently a professor of health care marketing, communications, policy, community and public health. During all my years of teaching and now, I have been a fairly polished writer. During my doctorate, I became a polished academic writer and now I am a dissertation mentor and committee member, working on others' important work. I enjoy tutoring and teaching at the college level. I love working with adults. For those who have skills and motivation, it is a matter of gaining trust and accelerating the use of those skills. For others, I provide assistance in seeking knowledge, and building self-confidence in order to move ahead in career and school objectives.

Having an associate degree in both the Paralegal and Early Childhood Education fields motivates me to stand up for the rights of children and to work with and teach young children as they grow and learn. I have worked with my daughter's home tutor for three years and also volunteered in her after-school program for four years. I admire the spark in a young child's eyes when they learn a new word or do something extraordinary. Sharing that excitement and giving the praise and encouragement is priceless. During my ten years of higher education and work experience, I have gained phenenominal creative writing skills writing research papers and reflections of childhood development,behaviors, and curriculum. Teaching young children takes dedication and respect. As a teacher, parent, tutor, cargiver, or whatever role one is in a young child's early years is also an example and a role model.

Throughout my studies I have learned that all students learn differently. When teaching in a classroom, I will have to discover the way each student learns individually. An important aspect of my teaching experience has been to get down on that students level, and look at the struggles each student has in the classroom. I modify lessons in order to have each student adapt them to his or her own learning style. I believe that each student is willing to learn, but needs to discover the best learning style suitable to their abilities. As an English Education major, I have had numerous encounters in the classroom with each of my classroom practicums. After completing my degree in the fall of 2009, I will have over three semesters of classroom experience, working with students from the sixth grade to the twelfth grade. I have also worked as a childcare provider for several years, in add

In working with children I have learned that it is important to be excited about what you are teaching. That excitement is contagious and creates a desire to self learn and creates long term study habits. That excitement will be reflected in a students' progress as they gain more knowledge about a certain subject. My goal is to inspire a child to realize what they are able to accomplish through hard work and fun. During my years as an undergraduate student I took on extensive study habits that included working in study groups and tutoring other classmates who were struggling with material. In my undergraduate experience I have acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to comprehend extensive material including math, physics, chemistry, and life sciences. As an honors student I was required to speak in front of large groups of people and explain complex subjects in areas that I had rese

I think learning and discovering is a "magical" experience. My memories of the first time I learned about the solar system and space exploration was mind-boggling. That is what I seek to bring to students--to find their interests and develop them so they have the drive to learn. I sincerely believe the process of learning and interacting with adults or mentors is how we learn social skills and the art of personal interaction that will ultimately determine our level of success. Tutoring is more than helping students achieve academic excellence; if done well, it's about instilling habits for success. As a United States Air Force Academy graduate, I believe in the value of leadership, quality teaching and training. I have a BS in Basic Sciences; my strengths are in math, science and writing. I have strong spatial orientation skills and have written analyses of world military operations

I am uniquely blessed to be a third generation teacher/educator; I have experience at all levels of public/private teaching (K-12 and undergraduate college) and have been actively involved in teaching for over twenty years. My style is hands-on, engaging the student in a one-on-one discussion of the subject(s) to be learned---I approach difficulties/challenges from the philosophy that "together, we WILL master this subject!" I also teach and train the student(s) in HOW to study, and give him/her tools and techniques to absorb and learn new and/or challenging material.

I've been teaching public speaking at Iowa State for 8 years (Mostly public speaking, but also T.A.'ed Semantics & Gender Communications). I specialized in high anxiety speakers. Also tutored minority ISU football players for 10 years. I have taught time management, personality/learning styles, and study skills. The most rewarding part of both positions was directly linked to my PhD work in social justice education. This allowed me to individually guide each student (usually 60 each semester) to try to over come any limitations put upon them by themselves or society in regards to race, gender, socio-ecomic status, self esteem, etc. I am dedicated to helping all students learn valuable communication skills, become more compassionate of others, confident in their critical thinking, and hopeful about their futures. I create a nurturing and safe environment of mutual respect that conti

I enjoy the experience of sharing my knowledge with others and have a special interest in the success of children, as the father of three and a grandfather of one. Helping build a solid foundation for youngsters and young people is very important to everyone's future. I always have my student’s best interest at heart. I like an interactive and experiential approach to teaching where the students share in the process, rather just given material to digest and be tested on what they can remember. I believe the learning experience is a two way street and in an individual setting, such as the one on one environment of tutoring, the student and teacher get the ultimate in the conveying-feedback process.

Creativity has always been at the forefront of my personal and professional practices. I earned a Masters in Fine Art degree with a concentration in Interdisciplinary Arts which has allowed me to use a variety of artistic methods - visual art, electronic music composition, as well as creative writing of essays, poetry, and plays, to help me meet goals. A former nurse, my experiences in teaching and mentoring have spanned more than 20 years on a variety of subjects. In the past five years, I have taught the arts to children and adults, with and without disabilities, in business, education, and healthcare settings. I am a firm believer that we are learners for life and that our yearning to learn starts at a very early age. I feel that children should be given every opportunity to succeed so support of their inquisitiveness is essential. As children mature into middle school and high sc

Every student can learn. It is my responsibility as a tutor to approach teaching with an open mind and explore various teaching methods in ways that make sense to the child. Every child is different and one method of learning does not work for every, single child. Learning needs to be made relevant to the child's life and worldview. During my coursework as an undergraduate student, I completed several hours devoted to art education, educational leadership and educational psychcology. I also completed the on-the-field teaching of art lessons to a mildly autistic elementary student for several weekly visits. In addition to my undergraduate experience, I was a teaching assistant for four college classes and I served as an instructor for a beginnning metalsmith course during my graduate studies.

If I could say that there was something I was meant to be, I would say that I was meant to be a teacher. Of all the experiences in my life I have found the most satisfying right after being a father is being a teacher. Everyone including students want to feel successful. I also believe that success is a great motivator for learning. I gear my teaching around mutual respect and then find a level of work where the student can have immediate success. Students respond to teachers who they feel are personally invested in their success. The teacher I most admired from my middle school years was not patient, easy going or considerate, yet I achieved at a high level because I knew that he cared. Upon graduating from Queens College I obtained a position as a middles school science teacher in New York’s Spanish Harlem.
