Musical Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Fort Myers Beach, FL

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

I have been teaching on a part time basis as an Adjunct Professor at Edison State College (previously Edison Community College, Edison College) for the last 10 years as the Surveying instructor in a vocational oriented program. I have received several certifications through the Florida Dept. of Education for middle and high school grade levels. My experience teaching kids has been as a youth coach in several sports. 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

While living in Japan, I taught English to the Japanese nationals and was a teacher's aide in the Department of Defense Dependent's Schools in the special needs department. I worked directly with middle school children who had ADD, ADHD as well as other physical handicaps including Cerebral Palsy. I have 3 children that I have had to help with their homework and projects throughout the years. I enjoy working with children and believe education is the key to developing responsible adults. I believe the best way to teach is to relate the subject to the children. A child may not understand fractions but if you ask them to divide up a candy bar, they know how many pieces they want to split it in to and how many they want. I believe that listening is the key to teaching. A good teacher and a good listener is the difference between a child attending school and a child excelling in school

I love kids, and I know the importance of a positive impact on such a tender age. My style is interactive, it's important to have students participate in the activities and discussions. Listening to a child is very important and always helps them build confidence and to remember the subject better. As an Ivy League graduate, I've always thrived in an environment of challenge and excellence. I taught in my church, kids from 6-9 years, for 2 years. I have a bachelor's degree in telecommunications with a minor in translations and interpretation.

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

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.

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

Since 2nd grade, when my teacher sat me next to a 10-year old boy with Cerebral Palsy, it seems I have been called upon to instruct others. I tutored our high school rockstar drummer in French so he could graduate. In college I taught 3- and 4-year olds, learning as much from them, as about them. In the Army, as an instructor and Executive Officer, those child development principles and skills were frequently handy and surprisingly adaptive with young adults, and a few senior cadre. Lifelong learning has kept me fresh in a long clinical career, which is now winding down and transforming into something new. Tutoring seems like the logical next step for me. Teaching one-on-one is my forte. I can establish rapport quickly then ascertain what and how a person wants to learn in a time-efficient and respectful way. My approach is cordial give-and-take, with abundant humor and

Teaching and/or training has always been a highlight in my life. After graduation, I accepted a position as an Adult Education Specialist; counseling and interacting with adults (18-65) returning to school for their GED's. I have worked in a variety of settings including open school, individualized, and classroom instruction. Some students need a more independent approach. Other students require much more supervision while still others respond to a positive blend of the two. Most importantly, self-discovery is the keystone to inspired learning and it allows students to stay motivated. I believe that being the facilitator is my method of choice carefully blending styles that can make the difference in learning key concepts.

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. 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.

I am a senior at Florida Gulf Coast University. I am graduating with a Bacholer's in Elementary Education. I plan to continue my education by acheiving my Master's in Special Education. I have experience in tutoring as I have worked in after school day care. In addition, I work as an assistant for a company that does science once a week plus tutoring.

I have worked with children since high school as a baby-sitter. Now I am involved in the education field and could not be happier. I have worked hard in my own education to learn how to be the most effective teacher I can be for your children. I have learned numerous techniques on how to teach all sorts of concepts.

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. It was also at this time that I assisted international students in the writing and editing processes of written theses, necessary to complete their graduation requirements of their degree programs. More recently, I've been an in-home tutor for the past year, working with students in reading and mathematics. This summer I became an SES tutor, working one-on-one with a student here in Lehigh through the NCLB program. Every student

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.

It is the responsibility of a teacher to meet every child's ability level and learning style and to making learning fun. I try to reach the child's full potential through art, music, games and activities, at the same time, nurturing self esteem. I also think it is very important for a teacher to encourage higher-level learning in young children. I pride myself in the ability to communicate effectively with parents and to encourage a parent- teacher partnership. Only through parent, teacher and child relationships will ultimate learning take place . In thirty two years, I taught children of all socio-economic and ability levels, ethnic and religious back grounds. I have a Master's Degree plus 15 hours in Family Counseling.
