Guitar Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Elkton, FL

I have tutored for Acers tutoring in Orlando for a full year. I have full experience with teaching reading and writing, as well as somer lower level algebra and mathematic skills. The kids have ranged from ages 8-14. As well, I have been giving guitar lessons to kids between the ages of 10-14. The children have all been able to pick up quickly, and being a song writer, I encourage the kids to seek full creativity in their music and learning. In college, I've spent my time volunteering with the youth group, and helping mentor kids in the middle school age. Also, I am a double major, and have majored in Education, which has allowed me to work with JEA and create lesson plans and teach a class of seventh graders. I implement creativity, and ample amount of positive, fun energy into the way I teach. I believe the key to any child's learning is first instilling confidence into them. When a

Rock/Blues are my main influences. I also teach Metal and Folk (sounds crazy, I know!) I've been a professional guitarist for 25 years. I've Played on and/or produced countless records. I opened The Music Studio in 2006. The main focus was Rock n' Roll (Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboards and Vocals. We had 4 teaching rooms where me and my staff would teach each student the same song in the same time slot, and they would perform it after a 2 or 3 month period. We also had a top of the line recording studio where I produced bands from around the US and Sweden. We also used it to record our students

I have two bachelors degrees, however, I believe it is my experience teaching children that has helped me develop a good sense on how to approaching teaching scenarios. I have years of experience teaching children in academics, music, and dramatic arts, as well as coaching basketball and teaching golf at the professional level. Each child is different. I always try to notice and acknowledge what benefits each student, as I think this applies to all forms of teaching from academics to athletics. Getting on their level is what ultimately benefits the child from the get go and gains their interest. If I'm interested, then the child is interested. I do my best to make sure the child is setting their goals and doing their best to achieve them in the way and style for which they are best suited.

In addition to 3 years of formal college teaching, I have conducted many evaluations ages 3 through adult to identify learning disabilities, and made recommendations for optimizing individual strengths and compensating for relative weaknesses. I have taught college level courses, published research, worked for the school system testing for eligibility for the Exceptional Student Education Program, and contributed to eligibility meetings in the school system to help design optimal individualized education plans based upon students’ needs. Becoming a tutor is a natural extension of my extensive experience combined with my passion to teach, with emphasis on individualized assessment and learning plans. My teaching style in general is aimed at teaching independent critical thinking and problem solving skills, with much positive praise along the way. This approach tends to foster a sense of

I was enrolled in the Master's Program for Elementary Education at the University of Florida and volunteered over 300 hours in the public school system. I have only one year left before obtaining my advanced degree should I decide to return to school. I have also been a tutor and mentor for at-risk youth. I have volunteered with the public library and used to spend one day a week reading to children in foster homes. I have spent the past year as a Lead Teacher in Colorado where I was able to have my own classroom, assistant and students. I have worked with several children with special needs and was able to work with several professionals in the best way to teach my students. I keep an open mind that most children learn in different ways. I try to provide lots of different ways of learning the same subject.

I strive to help students learn for themselves. As a tutor at the University of North Florida, I stressed critical thinking skills. I believe that critical thinking skills help a student improve all around. Through critical thinking students can pursue independent learning and feel more confident in themselves. Also, my approach to tutoring involves letting students release the concepts and answers for themselves. Though I help to reinforce key concepts and principles, a student should be able to come to conclusions by themselves this way, when confronted with real life situations or in class room situations, the student does not panic and can handle the problem. Formerly, I was employed as an ESL and Writing Tutor at the Academic Center for Excellence at the University of North Florida. My duties as ESL and writing tutor have put me in close contact with students who sought to bet

My teaching style is very different, but I love being able to differentiate my lessons to best suit my students. I do believe that all children have different learning styles, so when I deliver instruction, I try to combine the types of styles and incorporate kinesthetic activities for the students to visually see and have that hands on experience. I believe repetition helps children to learn and grasp instruction as well. Through repetition and correct delivery, the student will be able to remember and recall the facts they need in order to succeed in those areas of academics. Teaching is always a learning process. You learn new ways and ideas everyday. As a graduate of East Carolina University, I have continued to be persistent in every aspect of my teaching career. I have earned only a bachelor degree in Elementary Education with a minor in child studies, which have helped me to devel

I really enjoy helping others meet their potential and experiencing the joy of understanding math and science. Although I have taken many advanced mathematic classes, I can easily relate elementary, middle school and high school math subjects to students. Each student has a unique way of learning; my responsibility is to channel each student's ability. I strive to help students understand the subject and the importance of the subject. I have always been passionate about and excelled in mathematics. For this reason, I entered into the field of engineering and received a bachelors degree and masters degree. Although I have spent the past four years as an engineer, I have a lot of experience tutoring. Throughout college, I helped tutor fellow college students and high school students as well. I believe that I would be very helpful to all students seeking help in math.

I believe that you need to learn a language with an expert. A person who not only speaks the language, but someone who can teach it. A language instructor needs to be a professional teacher/trainer with the necessary education and experience to lead students of all ages and backgrounds, to an enjoyable learning experience. Someone who is comfortable and competent teaching a large class, a small group or one-on-one tutoring. Although computer programs, web sites, online lessons, audio and video lessons can be helpful, they do not replace the face to face interaction with an experienced native language instructor. My credentials include Spanish teaching at Florida State College at Jacksonville since 1997, Scala Language Consultants, and Sea Coast Christian Academy in Jacksonville, Florida, as well as English as second language at the ESL Institute.

My initial goal with any student is to establish comfort and trust. My easy going style and infectious smile will help any pupil feel at ease. My hope is always to create motivation within the student and confidence in their own ability. I see my position as assisting the student learn in a non-threatening environment. Criticism will always be GENTLE and instructive, directing the child or adult to the correct solution to any problem. Increasing self-confidence and self-esteem will empower the student and create an atmosphere where they have faith in THEMSELVES and are certain that they can learn anything that they wish and achieve even the loftiest goals. I began teaching private guitar lessons while I was still in High School. While working on my Bachelor's degree in Columbus Ohio I taught guitar and tutored Spanish. In 2002, I moved to Florida where I began working on my MA in Adult a

My nine years experience with children has honed my ability to connect with my students at a high level of excellence in education. My Bachelors degree in Sociology has enabled me to see students at their individual needs in learning. In addition, having taken the Teachers Preparation Courses at FSCJ had extensively trained me in grammatical skills due to the writing of research papers and field work experiences that were required in the course. It has also greatly trained me in the processes in teaching styles,lesson planning,and instructional strategies in reading, math, science, and social studies. I believe that each child has the potential to learn. I love children and teaching them is my greatest passion. I am a firm believer of Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences which states that each child has a different learning style. I am patient, fun loving, and motivating. I allow

I love teaching art to all age levels. I really enjoy it when I show someone an art technique, they learn it, and make it their own. When teaching art, I feel it very important to demonstrate a technique, discuss how the technique has been used in different cultures, and then for the student to mimic my actions. Once the technique has been mastered, the student can take the technique and use it in their own way. As a math tutor, I work closely to find a method that clicks for the student. I am very patient, and I use various ways of solving a problem to find the one that the student can most understand. As an art teacher of over 15 years, I have taught painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, graphic arts, art history, and darkroom photography. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts at Christopher Newport University and my Master of Arts degree in Teaching and Lear
