Musical Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lanark Village, FL

My teaching style is positive, resourceful, and uses multi-media whenever necessary. I encourgae my students to seek their own answers and guide them on how to reach their learning goals. I combine learning with an increase in self discovery and self - esteem that stays with them beyond our present lessons. I believe learning should be presented as an ongoing, positive process that one never stops marveling at. My students know I believe in their successes which they enjoy reaching. I am a bilingual teacher/ therapist who has had wonderful successes in the teaching field. I have taught adolescents, and adults english, G.E.D., career planning, basic math, and social sciences. My teaching approach makes it fun and motivating for students from any socio-economic class to enjoy. During my last five years, I have taught international as well as USA students.

I began my higher education at Tallahassee Community College in 1997. After receiving my AA Degree I transferred to F.S.U where I majored in Criminology with a minor in Spanish and graduated in 2003. Since that time, I've worked as a legal assistant/paralegal with different law firms in town. Recently, I decided to return to school and received my certificate in Massage Therapy. The thing I love most about teaching is opening up someones eyes to something new and seeing the "wow" look on their faces. Sometimes certain subject matter is not always easy for a person to learn. I've always appreciated the teacher that went out of their way with a great amount of patience to make sure I understood. I take a lot from the amazing teachers I've had and would hope to be able to pass that on.

Since 1991, I have been tutoring and teaching children in Florida, California and Costa Rica. In addition to being a tutor, I have worked with children in many capacities from after-school program coordinator to curriculum writer and summer camp counselor and instructor. I earned my BA degree from Florida A&M University in Visual Arts and History and my Master's degree from the University of California, Los Angeles in Dance Ethnography. Instructing my own ten year old daughter has also further enhanced my ability to work one-on-one with individual students. During the last 19 years, I have instructed and tutored students in reading, writing, math, English, Spanish, visual arts, dance, science, history and music appreciation. I deeply enjoy teaching children from all different age groups, cultural, social and economic backgrounds. I believe that patience and working with each child to fin

I have always found myself adept at teaching. I have a great deal of patience and a genuine fondness for instruction. As a journalism major from UF, I gained extensive writing, research and grammatical skills. I am a proficient typist and have an intimate knowledge of computers and various programs. I am grounded in functional math: an essential skill in reporting on the economy and science. I went up to pre-calculus in high school and took both Algebra and Logic in college. Current events and history were both fundamental in my schooling. My recent tutoring history is not formal, but I have helped many students and peers edit papers, understand their math homework and prepare for tests. The teachers who continue to influence me and affect my day-to-day life are those who had a genuine passion for teaching and a contagious love for their subject. They were the best teach

I do not have much experience in teaching and tutoring, but I would love to earn the experience. I am quite versed in classical literature and archaeological advancements.

I listen well to what others have to say and ask, and I get my point across in a concise manner. I can work with small children and teenagers.

As an educator my teaching style is very laid back and easy going. I like my students to use there own knowledge to search for a solution while I give them a little bit of guidance. My non-threatening approach tends to win over students and helps them feel relax and not fear to ask questions. My goal is to improve all students in the areas of math and help them feel more comfortable when they encounter it on there own. While attending Florida A&M University I always had a passion for Mathematics, therefore my first year I took Honors Calculus I and received a grade of a 'B'. From that point I completed my Bachelor degree in Computer Information Systems and took my passion in math and began to work on my MEd in Secondary education. During that time I had the opportunity to substitute students in 6-12 grade in two different counties. I also completed my student teaching experience at Shilo

As a gifted student in my primary education, I always excelled in consuming the world around me through knowledge. I wanted to share my love of information with others. My favorite subject is Black and African History. I decided to major in those fields at Florida State University. During my studies Ive gained experience in tutoring SES Students at Cheney Elementary School, then I decided to become a camp counselor in the summer of 08 at Camp Kateri. I love bringing out my inner child to reach students. I love using fun interactive games to help facilitate learning. Singing songs that get children to count and spell. Memorization games, like telephone or memory tag. Its my experience that the more engaged you keep students, the more they will retain information. In my 4 years experience as a camp counselor and tutor I have found that keeping an open mind and always spotting opportunities

I believe that every student can learn if I can adequately gauge what their abilities and intelligences are. Utilizing the multiple intelligences theory, my first session with my student will be concentrating on getting to know them as a worker and a person. I feel their outside experiences have just as much contribution as their classroom experiences. Your child and I, during this first session, will conduct a meet and greet of sorts and I will then map out an education success plan for them. It's through their needs and their cognitive abilities that I feel any student can be successful, and become a productive member of society. I come from a public school background with an emphasis in higher learning and was twice selected as an AP Scholar with Honors for my work in the AP program. I am currently in the process of earning a Bachelors of Science in English Education with an emphasis

Learning has always been my goal. The hope of understanding is the light which illuminates this dark abyss of bureaucracy, strange smells and seeming disorder. I have read ceaselessly, watched ravenously, pondered to no end; a mind which never sleeps but continues seeking. I was Valedictorian of my middle school and graduated from FSU magna cum laude, but these are hot air to me; decorations. A's in school are just a by-product. I seek the real thing, which may not be found in this lifetime, in these bodies, with these minds, but I seek it anyway. Throughout my existence I have found myself in the role of teacher. Whether it be academic or physical, I have been blessed with keen abilities, as well as an ease in communicating ideas. This, I believe, stems from a need to comprehend not just the action of something, but the reason for that action as well. By this, often I am able to see wha

While in Undergraduate School, I was a tutor in the Florida A&M University Chemistry Lab. This was my employment for my last year of Undergraduate Studies. After graduation, I taught for two years at an inner-city high school in Tallahassee, where I taught Chemistry, Chemistry Honors, and GED Science. I also was certified in Middle Grades Mathematics, and served as a tutor for students individually as well as a collective Educational Sponsor for the Boys' Basketball Team. I also have extensive experience in the field of mathematics, as I have taken classes from College Algebra to Calculus 3. I love working with students, and I have an affinity for those students that are hard to reach, as well as those with learning disabilities. As a student with ADHD myself, I have patience for their difficulties. I have great patience with the students, as I want them to learn and experience education

I really enjoy teaching and working with students and continue to develop new ways to make learning fun and engaging. Focusing on each student independently, I differentiate instruction based on each individual's learning style. I value learning in a way that displays passion and a serious interest in every subject I teach. I believe in a fun and relaxed approach to learning, but maintain a focus and discipline I feel is required to achieve academic success. I have been working with youth for over ten years. As a private music instructor and substitute teacher I have had the opportunity to work with students K-12 with a wide array of abilities. During the school year of 2009-2010 I was a para-professional in a Kindergarten PDD class (pervasive development disorder/autism) where I helped administer IEP directed lessons for 8 children on the spectrum.

I have been tutoring for as long as I can remember. In fact, the rich experiences I had tutoring played a primary role in my pursuit of teaching. I tutored throughout high school and college, working with different ages and subjects. Most of my experience has been with intermediate-grade and middle-school students for reading, math, and science. However, I also tutored Spanish at the college level. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Spanish, had a successful student teaching experience, and went on to teach fifth grade last year. Teaching has prepared me well for reaching the varying needs of individual students. It has also confirmed my desire to work with children one-on-one and walk with them through the daily, often-grueling but always-rewarding, learning process. The first year of teaching...

I am a very hands on and visual teacher that believes the best way to learn is by seeing and doing things yourself. In order to provide the best teaching expereince I would teach through multiple examples and putting difficult subject matter into a context the student can understand and visualize. I believe in working with each student to develop a system that works best for the individual, which will give them the tool to learn more easily in the future. While obtaining my Master's degree I had the chance to study many different subjects as well as tutor student from Kindergarten to undergraduates in many areas of study. I received 2 Bachelors degrees in International Affairs and Art History and studied several different languages that will make me well rounded tutor. I have excellent writing and editing skills as well as experience tutoring all ages in a variety of subjects. I have a l

My students begin with an understanding that it is important to express themselves in an easily comprehensible manner. I help them find their own voices by first finding out where they are and what they wish to accomplish. I then guide them to greater fluency and sophistication through self-criticism, as well as through the discovery and examination of the work of others. And I have also helped students understand that style is as much influenced by cultural context as by the desire for personal expression. I graduated from Duke University with a Ph.D. in music in 1997. Since then, I have taught and advised students at a number of colleges and universities in North Carolina and Michigan. I have created or helped to create curricula (both music and English composition) and have implemented it in the classroom. I have also assisted students in charting out their courses of study, having w

My unique experiences have provided me with invaluable teaching experience which has shaped my teaching style. The pedagogical approach I utilized in ESL teaching called “teaching English through English” has resulted in my highly creative, adaptive, and practical approach. I not only teach the material, but also teach problem-solving techniques to enable the students to apply their knowledge to every-day life. I approach students with enthusiasm; all children are able to learn, and learn successfully! I don’t see myself as an ultimate authority, but as a facilitator of learning. Most importantly, I approach teaching with patience and commitment, as well as a true desire to see all my students meet and even exceed their own expectations. While living overseas in both Ukraine and Mexico I taught ESL through a non-profit organization for 4 1/2 years. In addition to teaching beginning
