I have experience playing all styles on both acoustic and electric guitar. I continue to keep up on all modern styles from modern acoustic to the latest metal sounds.

Musical is one of my top subjects! Have studied music theory since the age of 10 formally. Had studied theory involved to the guitar, but started an international music course, and have been studying theory since.

I have been a tutor for many different areas, primarily music, during my High School years. Have worked in a program that focused in teaching poor homeless children to play various instruments. I also taught them how to build and maintain their instruments, and learned myself how to do it. I have also given tutoring in school subjects and have helped a few students understand subjects better. These include, History (20th Century), Music Theory, Spanish, English and Philosophy. Up to a few months ago, I have been tutoring 4 boys from middle school with their science, social studies and math homework.
I am a very patient person, but do admire and require people to be respectful in every sense of the word. I do not like sitting in front of the students begging him or her to pay attention. I like having engaged students that do their best to understand or learn. Regarding the m ... read more

I believe in giving students examples instead of algorithms. I prefer students create their own set of rules using the tools they already have. I try my best to build background knowledge to allow students to make connections that are meaningful to them. I also teach in many different ways. Since I know that each student is different, I introduce a variety of avenues and paths that students can take to understand information and master their goals. Finally, I try to make learning fun. As I said earlier, I like to include games, puzzles, and real-world examples into my lessons as often as possible.
I have been working with children for over 10 years. Through coaching, tutoring, day care, and finally teaching, the education of youth is my life! I have earned a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education, with minors in Middle Grades English and General Sciences! However, my passion ... read more

More About This Tutor...

It is my experience that students do better in smaller groups with more individual attention, which in turn helps me to get a better understanding of how to move forward. I've started at the phonics level in this regard, where patience and understanding is key. I like to maintain a relaxed teaching environment, though I like to keep things moving along.
In regards to experience, I'd taught in a middle school as a Reading Specialist, as a member of the Americorps national service program. During my term, I'd implemented a measurable reading workshop and organized two school-wide literacy events, recruiting over twenty local media personalities to guest read. I have a degree in English from the University of Kentucky, and I have vast experience in document authorship, including both literary and technical compositions.

I do love teaching. I once thought that I could do without and found that I need to be teaching someone something in order to be fulfilled in life. I love helping someone learn. I believe that all children can learn but some learn in different ways and speeds than others. I will do my best to help any student be a success.
I have taught kindergarten and 2nd grade for six years in a Christian school. Right now I am homeschooling our 2 boys. I started tutoring for summer work and have done some of it off and on for the past few years. Currently, I have one 2nd grade that comes two days a week and does school with us, so I work with him and he is making tremendous strides. I enjoy watching children gain a skill that they struggled with. I have tutored 1st and 2nd graders mainly in reading, writing, and phonics. I tested out of college English when I was in college and enjoy ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I tutored with A+ Advanced Learning Center last year for a full year. I tutored 1st grade reading, 3rd grade reading comprehension and 6th grade reading comprehension. I went to Florida State University for three years, have an EMS-Paramedic degree from Florida Career Institute. I graduated from high school with a 4.2 GPA.
Working on an ambulance I have seen many different types of people at their worst. Because of this, I am very patient and compassionate and have been told that I have a very unique way of looking at problems. I am a very hands-on tutor and believe that learning should be fun, not work.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught children how to sail for about 10 years now. These children range in groups of 5-15 and ages 5 to adult. This requires not only instruction, but First Aid and CPR certifications and safety procedures. I also am now a Spanish professor at a local community college, teaching a Medical Spanish class to nursing students.
I love teaching and working with children. I think that turning the class material into a fun experience will make it easier to learn, and make the experience enjoyable for them as well. I am patient, experienced, and compassionate. I love coming up with in-class activities and games to make the students retain the material. I've even come up with songs and rhymes to help students from young children to my college peers.

I have been a certified elementary school teacher for 5 years. I spent 2 years in a private school teaching Kindergarten and 3 years in a public school teaching 1st grade. During my years of teaching, my main focus was on teaching students the basics of Reading and Writing. During my time at the private school, I also taught Music and Art to elementary students. I have experience using multiple teaching series including ABEKA.
My teaching style varies depending on the group of students I am working with. Although I will bring the same overall feel to any classroom, I try to teach to each child in a way that they can learn and grow in confidence. I believe that children learn best when they are comfortable and having fun.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is one that is more interactive than instructional. I continue to be amazed while I observe the thought process and problem solving techniques, of the many different and varying individuals and personalities. I am at my best in one on one situations, where I can troubleshoot and identify learning challenges in their early stages. I believe we retain 30% of what we hear and 50% of what we do. The remainder is acquired through repetition, which is a byproduct of a passion waiting to be discovered.
My experiences involve the teaching and performance of music education. I am a skilled performer on the trombone, keyboards, drums and percussion. I am qualified to teach brass instruments at levels k-12 and stringed instruments at k-5. I have performed professionally in 7 states, Italy and Belgium, while serving in the military. I have created a choir for prime-time ... read more

Excellent with children, I can adjust my teaching style with the personality of the child. No child learns the same, so it is important to create a learning plan that builds trust and respect between the child and tutor. I have found my greatest attribute is the ability to make learning fun and “cool.” I am passionate about teaching. If the children you teach can sense your passion for the subject, they will absorb that energy and want to excel. I also consider myself very patient - frustration has a very negative effect when trying to create a positive learning environment. Finally, I believe in creating a benchmark style constructional curriculum. I strive to instill the same love for learning my teachers gave me. Learning is for life.
My education is a private-based curriculum comprised of small student-teacher ratios. Since 4th grade I was taught intensive Spanish. A prep st ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Even though I have been very active in the performing arts, teaching is my primary passion. I received a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Music from the College-Conservatory of Music of the University of Cincinnati. However, I completed a Ph.D. in Education at the University of Florida in 1990. I was a full-time special needs teacher at Oak Park School in Sarasota, Florida from 1998 until 2006. I was responsible for teaching elementary, middle school, and high school grade levels. It was a very rewarding job and gave me experience in many different areas in education. Since retiring from Oak Park I have spent a considerable amount of time tutoring in several different areas, including English, history, and math.
I firmly believe that all children are capable of learning and are entitled to an atmosphere that is most conducive to the learning process and their individual needs. ... read more
