Guitar Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lakewood, OH

Learning is always easier when it is fun and interesting. In any given teaching situation I look for ways to add zest to learning. At the outset of tutoring I do an assessment of where students are currently achieving in a specific subject area, and identify skills that they may be lacking. Next, I develop a learning plan with specific goals. This becomes the basis for a learning contract between myself and the person seeking tutoring. Learning is best achieved in an interactive teaching style where students are encouraged to ask questions and participate in problem solving. I am a patient person who believes that all students can successfully learn. My undergraduate years at Princeton University instilled in me a passion for learning and a personal commitment to academic excellence. Most of my adult work life has been focused on coaching individuals to overcome handicaps and maximize t

I believe that comparing complex concepts to everyday, personal objects and situations is the most effective way to learn. Therefore, I am big on metaphors. Algebraic concepts and formulas can often be, I have found, analogous to much simpler ideas or images. Once the abstract is related to the mundane, we can break down the barrier to understanding that can be an automatic or habitual construction for many people. I am also an advocate of learning by example; I will walk through a problem or two, step by step, until the process becomes obvious. From there, equations can become identifiable patterns that essentially require you to simply "fill in the blanks". I earned a 98% in my College Algebra course this past fall so I am here to lend a hand to those who could use it. My focus in college was Communication with a minor in Philosophy. I also studied international relations for 6 months

As a driven student & business owner, I've had ownership stakes in different businesses. Educationally, I have had a natural love for mathematics (BS) & life sciences (short of minors in chemistry, physics, and biology). As my involvement in business increased while still in school, I've been able to truly understand having to choose between the daily rat race and the daily demand of academic pursuits. As a musician and guitar teacher, I understand the balance between demonstrating theory and the importance of impromptu emotion. As a teacher, I like to relate to my students in ways that preserve, maintain, and promote integrity, face, intuition, desire to succeed, and encouragement. Teaching, or the best teachers, are required to have a certain undertanding that not just anyone has. I think teaching is a decision that demands patience, excitement, encouragement, care, and the love of

As a graduate of Kent State University's Bachelor Of Arts program, I have acquired many skills. I have experience in tutoring students in the arts as well as sciences and math for more than 10 years. I pride myself on my teaching ability. I think teaching is an art in itself. I have worked with a diverse group of students. As a teacher, I realize every person is different. I like to work on learning the personality of the student. With a strong background in philosophy and psychology, I can make it a priority to ensure that a child receives a sense of accomplishment and gain self esteem in his or her work.

Low-key, humorous, patient, nurturing. Statistics can be off-putting for those new to the discipline, and through my extensive mentoring over the years, I have found that when teaching a concept such as "standard deviation," for example, it's best to approach it with practical examples, couching the explanation in day-to-day terms and contexts. It has been my experience that when learners are able to relate on a practical level to what is being learned they are more likely to successfully assimilate the knowledge.
