Saxophone Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lake Mary, FL

I am currently a general music teacher at Samsula Academy, an elementary school in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I teach general music classes to students in grades K-5, as well as chorus and band. I received my Bachelor's degree from Marywood University in Scranton, PA and began my Master's studies at University of Central Florida. I currently aspire to study Irish traditional music in Ireland in the near future, and would continue to offer online tutoring services during those studies. At Samsula Academy, I offer private music lessons. I have mostly taught piano, but I also have taught trumpet, trombone, drums, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and violin. As a part of my undergraduate studies, I took methods courses in all band and orchestra instruments, so I am trained to teach most anything. I also have experience assisting in the elementary classrooms in reading, writing, and math, and preparing

I am a firm believer that every person has the right to an education. I am a very patient, laid back educator. My teaching philosophy is one of challenge and support. I believe that when a student is challenged academically, they will succeed if there is adequate support provided. I prefer to focus on a student’s learning strengths. By helping students realize what they do well, one can then apply those skills to subjects that the student finds challenging. Every person has the ability to learn anything that they put their mind too. I will make every effort to help students realize their true academic potential. As a first generation college student, I was encouraged by my parents to do succeed in school. They knew that for me to be able to attend college I would have to well in school. While I was pursuing my BA in Art History and Archaeology, I found that I had a knack for encouraging

My teaching style is more of a demonstrator. This means that I give an emphasis on demonstrating and modeling strategies. Then as a coach/guide I help students develop and apply the skills and knowledge necessary for understanding concepts. I generally show my students how to properly do a task or work through a problem, then I'll help them master the task or problem. Repetition is an essential part of learning each task. It is important that my students can independently solve similar problems by using and adapting demonstrated methods. As a Stetson University graduate, I have always thrived for a higher level of excellence. I have earned my Bachelor degree in elementary education and have a minor in music. I have been a Seminole county teacher for 16 years. My certification is grades 1-6, although I have worked with tutoring children of all ages and ability levels. It has always

Since third grade I have always wanted to become a teacher. My third grade teacher inspired me to work hard and to never give up. I want to become that same inspiration in the lives of children. I believe that all children should be given an opportunity to learn. Children learn in many different ways. From my college experience and working in a classroom, I gained knowledge and strategies that would be beneficial for all students. Students should be given a chance to go above and beyond their potential when given appropriate learning experiences. I am a firm believer in becoming a life – long learner where learning never stops. I want to make a difference in the lives of children because they are our leaders of tomorrow. In May 2009, I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with a BA in Elementary Education. I had a wonderful experience in college where I gained a philosophy

I think in order to truly learn students need to be in control of what they are learning and have as many hands on experiences as possible. It is best to teach students how to learn, so that they continue to be life-long learners. I also believe that students need to be given choices in regards to their learning so that they learn how to make responsible decisions. It is up to me as the teacher to help inspire students to want to learn and help them see the rewards of their work. Each student is different, and it is up to the teacher to figure out what that student needs to be a successful learner. I love using learning strategies and hands-on methods to help students understand difficult material. I have been tutoring students at the Northwest Alachua County Boys and Girls Club, and similar sites, for 4 years. I have received my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education (k-6) and m

Enabling a child to realize his full self-worth is the reward a teacher gets when he is able to work individually with a student and show that child that he can learn whatever he needs to learn. By recognizing the child’s interests and valuing him as a person, I can reach him and together we can work toward the goal of understanding. It is very important that the student understands the “how” and “why” of the subject rather than just memorizing facts. I feel that I have the secrets to unlocking that for students. Since earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from Baylor University, I taught English, Drama and Journalism in Texas and in New Jersey for several years, after which I spent another 10 years tutoring students from kindergarten through high school in all subjects when they were required to be home from school due to illness or other situations. I subsequently went into the corpora

I graduated from the University of Cincinnati majoring in Civil Engineering. While in school, I had two different tutoring jobs. The first job I had was with Mathnasium now known as Lumen Learning Center in West Chester, Ohio. At this job, I taught first grade through Trigonometry. This gave me the experience of working with groups of students in different grade levels and different learning styles. After this, I worked for the University of Cincinnati’s Center of Access and Transition teaching up to Calculus. I taught freshmen who had not been accepted into a program and back to school adults. This gave me the experience of teaching larger groups the same subject, such as a teacher in a class. I love to teach. There is nothing more fulfilling than to see a student succeed who was previously having difficulties in a subject. I believe that patience is the key. I believe that yo

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 recorders to the 5th grade. Then I put together a booklet for them to teach themselves how to play more songs. They looked forward to working on this summer project independently. I tutored 5th and a 3rd graders this last year. A fifth grade student of mine was falling behind in her work load and brought home a below average report card during the first quarter of school. After my help her grades climbed to almost the A/B honor roll. Her parents were pleased with her improved grades, attitude, and self concept. I enjoy meeting new students and learning what their individual needs are to better teach them the concepts they need to know. I individualize t

I believe that every student requires a unique form of education and am willing to adapt my teaching style to match their needs, whether they are visual or auditory learners, need to copy down notes by hand to remember conjugations, or prefer memorizing test material by setting it to song. I am patient and thorough and want to help every student discover the joy of speaking a foreign language or learning music. I have earned a BA in French from the University of Florida with a minor in Flute Performance and a concentration in Spanish. As a native English speaker, I understand the difficulties and intricacies of learning a foreign language and have 8 years of experience in learning to speak, read and write in French and Spanish. I studied abroad at La Sorbonne in Paris for a semester and have excelled in literature, linguistics, phonetics, and culture courses. I tutored classmates through

Work well with accomidating others in the different learning styles. Having a hard time explaining to teachers and professors about their teaching approach made me aware of the situation. I love to teach others how to long for self motivation. I believe that anyone can learn as much as they would like if they think positive and continue to focus. I obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Speech and Language Pathology, I worked very hard to receive my B.A in a field I enjoyed learning. I also hold an Exceptional Student Education Certification K-12. I have experience with exceptional education and mainstream students. I contain many years of experience working individually with students to achieve their educational goals.

After receiving a Bachelor of Music in Education degree from Youngstown University, Youngstown, Ohio I was employed by the Crestwood Schools, Mantua, Ohio to teach instrumental music. I taught this subject at the middle school level while assisting with the high school program. My entire thirty year career in instrumental music was with the Crestwood School System. During my tenure at Crestwood Middle School the instrumental music program evolved into a vital program within the school involving four bands and over 250 students. During these years and to the present I still am involved in private music lessons and aiding music stores with their instrument recruitment process. My teaching style is based on student needs and abilities. I feel that every child is capable of learning and enjoying music as well as any other subject.
