Eperienced results-based tutoring

I believe that the learner and instructor must work collaborative in order to be most effective. I believe in applied learnign which means that not only are the basics and mechanics necessary to form a foundation, but the learner must be able to see how the learning can benefit him or her now and in the future. I lean on case studies and items in the news to maximize interest in the learning program. Additionally, I am a consistent user of positive reinforcement. When the learner errs, I believe in facilitating their reasoning to discovering the best solution.
I have been blessed with an inventoiry of skills that can apply across many topics: - Music - can teach singing and percussion - English - I am an author of 2 books, and have always been involved in editing and creative writing - Psychology - Much of my career has been based on managing human behavior - Speech - I am a ... read more

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

Although I believe the FCAT is a test that demands respect, I do not teach to the FCAT. My instruction is differentiated for each child and if they are able to give me more, I push them to their ability. My goal for my students is to teach to the highest level they excel in using a variety of methods........I want my students to be well-rounded in their abilities, not just able to pass a test. When I work with your child, they will look word to seeing me and I will look forward to watching and helping them grow. The best part of all is that their skills all build on one another and the difficulty to tackle new concepts is not as threatening to them because I leave them with tools in hand. I look forward to making a difference!
As an educator that has taught in both the private and the public schools systems for the last 19 years, I have learned a great deal.....the child must ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I really do not have a teaching style yet. A one on one setting is what I am used to. I am open to different teaching techniques depending on the help the child requires. The internet is available and has many different techniques to learning different subjects I can research as I see fit.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy meeting new students and learning what their individual needs are to better teach them the concepts they need to know. I individualize their tutoring sessions by using different techniques such as auditory, oral, visual, and interactive methods. I understand how to be patient when working with children. I keep the sessions structured to keep students focused. I teach them organization skills, better study habits, and the motivation to keep them on task. I feel my experiences have made me a successful tutor. I feel confident that I can help students meet their potential. It's motivating to watch their self concept grow as their skills improve.
I was a music specialist for one semester. It was a great experience that I truly enjoyed. I taught grades K-5. I was responsible for creating my own lesson plans and activities for the 40 minutes of music class. I introduced ... read more
