Assists in a variety of musical areas I believe that every student learns in their own unique way and at their own pace. I try to cater to that thought when teaching and encourage each student to become his or her own teacher. I think it is important to have a strong fundamental base, but music is more than notes and fingerings. The study of music can give one the power to look at life’s problems through a different lens and give a fresh perspective. Now that I am out of school I see more clearly that there is never an ending point to education. All of those years of studying are not just to pass a test or earn a degree. The purpose is to apply the lessons we learn and create the best life possible. To quote the great Willy Wonka, "we are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams." I have taught private flute lessons for 10+ years from beginners to advanced and children

I funded my college education by working in several restaurants, where I became head trainer, within months, at every location. This parlayed into a professional career, training clients in Medical Software Applications, then designing, documenting and training applications. I currently consult for a customized computer training firm. I have been a licensed skydiving instructor for the past year - which definitely gives me immediate feedback on the effectiveness of my instruction! I've been mentoring people in Healthy Living for over 10 years. I've also worked in daycare and volunteered in after-school programs via the Salvation Army. My style is flexible. I view all students as teachers, and therefore adapt my style continuously based on the student's experience, mood, personality, and goals. I strive to help students create "break-throughs" and "Aha!" moments. I believe that every

When I graduated from Emory University, I pursued my teaching job with a sense of excellence and ambition. Within the last three years, I have been able to teach kids, ages 5 to 16, to gain self-confidence through the performing arts. I enjoy working with children of all ages, and I have observed that each child learns differently. It has been amazing to see the impact that I have been able to have on my students' lives.

I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in English, with a Concentration in Creative Writing. As a student of Kentucky State University, I have explored my passion through words (i.e. Poetry).The Education that I've received from my University, allowed me to not only be successful in my field, but I have written over 100 Poems; which I'm in the process of getting them copyright, as well as published. I've tutored during my College years and most of my students have Graduated from College as well..that means more to me, than anything that I've experience because I've had a chance to motivate young people. I love working with children because they have such a youthfulness that is full of life and ready to take on new challenges. I have worked in numerous leadership roles and One of the aspects I try to instill within the mindset of children, is that English is not as boring as they may think. I

I believe in short-term goal attainment. I first assess what the student feels they know, then look at what needs to be learned and from that I build a goal-oriented task set that should result in a learned skill set. I am also very good at thinking outside the box in order to get the skill set learned and to effect "true learning" as opposed to parroted learning. I taught college-level students in the classroom and in an aquatic environment for three years. I also taught aspiring instructors on an ad hoc basis during that period. I have classroom experience with high school children in a special education setting, involving an extreme amount of patience and a willingness to find different ways in which to impart learning on non-traditional students.

I was introduced to teaching as a guitar teacher and loved the field of education ever since. My first school experience was teaching 7th and 8th grade social studies in Queens, N.Y.in 1979. Finally, I found my niche in high school teaching various subjects such as Physical Science, Biology, Social Studies and tutoring after school programs for the passing of the high school graduation tests. In 1993 I moved to Georgia and became fully certified in the fields of Physical Science, Health and P.E.and ESOL. I successfully tutored high school students to pass the graduation tests with a >95% rate. My years of experience have taught me that no two students are alike, especially in the 'tutoring' arena. I find the students strengths and create a positive learning environment that students actually enjoy! My students tell me they can't believe how fast the time goes; and look forward to the nex

I concentrate on each student's unique strengths (as opposed to weaknesses only) in order help students their own skills. Students must feel personally invested in their education, and I hope to be able to instill that in all students. I'm a recent college graduate, soon entering into a Secondary English education program. I have extensive experience with academic writing and research during my undergraduate career. I have engaged in informal tutoring with my peers and have gained excellent writing skills in particular. I am particularly skilled with one-on-one communication and will be developing my teaching skills this coming year through the MAT program at Agnes Scott.

I am patient and love for children to "get it". I beleive in repetition as the best method for learning. Whether through song or academic knowledge I beleive when placed in the right environment and with the right resources every child can and will learn, grow and achieve. As a continuing education graduate in Spanish, Dance and Human Resource Development I have received education in teaching methods as well as on hand experience. I taught dance for three years to ages 6-18, taught biblical studies and music to ages 3-13 for 1 year and volunteered through my social organization as a tutor in an underpriviledged community school for 1 year. I have experience in tutoring math, spanish, english and computers.

Children, now young adults of my generation, were often labeled the children of “Generation X,” but today many have labeled our youth as the children of “Generation Y.” Why have our children seemed to have given up? Why do our children so often succumb to the “street life?” Why is it that our children do not value education as they once did in the past? These questions are questions that, as educators, we must be able to identify and answer to break the cycle of a generation of children with little hope and no future. The youth of today are in dire need of leadership. I have chosen a career path in education to help fill the breach within the minds and lives of our youth. I have acquired and was blessed with an inert quality to lead. I believe that I would be an effective and positive example in the lives of these students. I have a great deal of patience and concern for the youth of

As a professional educator, I strive for "excellence without compromise". I believe that learning is about opening each person toward recognizing the potential within, and then taking steps to actualize that potential. My ability seems to be that of communicating and inspiring others to grow. I have combined my academic background with my other passions, music and writing. Thus I bring the outlook and freshness of a lifelong learner to my teaching. Some of the areas I tutor are:language arts, reading comprehension and critical thinking, arts, essay writing, social studies, psychology and sociology, SAT writing/verbal strategies and GRE. In addition to my academic and arts connection, I work with the concept of "learning how to learn". Essentially each child that I tutor I endeavor to assist them in learning what type of learning style that he or she possesses. Every person uses the m
