Guitar Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Kings Bay, GA

Everyone is special and unique in how they learn and incorporate new information. I like to get to know people to understand how they can learn on their skill level. Patience and understanding is key when working with students and young people because everyone is different and special. I have experience in working with children and young people in my missions and humanitarian work. I have lead teams of teenagers and worked with children in local schools, orphanages, and community organizations. I also worked at a daycare during my internship in 2004.

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 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 and Secondary Education with a concentration in Spanish. I have completed the requirements of that MA degree but have not applied to graduate in that I am taking MA level courses in TESOL to allow for a second concentration under the same Masters' degree. I have been tutoring Spanish, Portuguese, writing and English for Speakers of Other Languages at UNF for the last seven semesters. For me tutoring and teaching are not just a profession they are a passion. 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

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 develop and become the teacher that I am now. During the last four years of my college career, I have taught in a public school and have tutored children to help them succeed in their academics. 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 s

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

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.

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 accomplishment and skills so that the student will learn how to learn, and learn how to approach confidently assignments and tasks independently. Of course, the specifics of this approach depend upon the age, individual needs, and processing style of the student. My ultimate goal for students of all ages is that they learn how to not need me, but learn how to reach their own potential. I strive to make learning enjoyable and want my students to feel confident that they can generalize their approach and skills to all areas. 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 optimizin

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 have a background in Anthropology and have traveled extensively througho
