Guitar Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Oak Park, MI

I have had extensive experience handling and managing children and adults in a learning environment. During my time at Lahser High School, I tutored students ages 7-15 in subjects such as elementary math, history, pre-algebra, algebra I, algebra II and geometry. As a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I began tutoring foreign exchange students from China in English language skills. I have had extensive experience studying Chinese language and have obtained a high degree of fluency in Mandarin Chinese. I have studied and worked in China and understand not only the language, culture and business world, but also understand the type of work, dedication and teaching it takes for a foreigner to obtain Chinese language skills. I have taken classes on law, economics and international politics in Mandarin Chinese and have worked in Chinese law firms and businesses where the offi

I have worked quite a lot with elementary school children, whether it be in or outside of work. I have done independent tutor work, mainly in the fields of Art and Language Arts. In the past I had a long-term job in which I was required to interact with young children, and I did so willingly. For two years in a row, I taught a Beginner's Guitar course for children and the feedback I received was overwhelmingly positive. I enjoy very much seeing things "click" with students, particularly young ones. It inspires me not only do teach well but also to always learn more myself.

Experience teaching guitar for 8+ years. All levels welcome! Hello! My name is Evan Levine and I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in music performance at the University of Michigan. Originally from New Jersey, I have been teaching students between the ages of 6-18 for over 8 years in both private and group settings. I have taught a range of music styles, including; Rock, Jazz, Pop, Country and Classical music. I am also proficient in Music Theory and Music History and would be able to supplement that with instrument instruction. I believe that learning repertoire that the student is interested in is the fastest way to develop a passion for music. Positive encouragement is key, and I believe the teachers' job is to guide their students in what they want to do. Developing technical proficiency and understanding the emotions and intent of the music is the foundation of my teaching sty

I have extensive studies in classical and jazz guitar, as well as musical composition. I performed professionally on guitar, keyboards, and electric bass. I also have an MM degree in music. As a Spanish teacher, I have an MA in Spanish, and have worked as a Spanish teacher at both the secondary and post-secondary levels. I have additionally worked as a Spanish translator and interpreter in the legal, academic, and medical areas. I know the value of knowing more than one language, as I have traveled in many different parts of the world, and have personally experienced the benefits of being able to communicate with people in their own language when travelling. When working with students one-on-one, I try to find out exactly where the next step needed for the student to progress would be, and then work to achieve an understanding of the foundational material that needs to be understood a

Fifteen years corporate training experience. Continue to tutor three sons through school and college, currently unemployed working part time as adjunct faculty at Macomb College teaching courses in business applications. I also teach music, voice and guitar at my church, mentor younger musicians and help them develop into quality players and performers. I've always enjoyed the art of communicating complicated material to those who are just learing or don't quite "get it". My focus is to break things down into basic elements and achieve agreement. Then, support learning with repetition. For example: "Would you agree that if we add 5 and 5 and then another 5 that we would end up at 15?" "So, then, 5 added together three times equals 15, right?" I'm also a big fan of mindmapping for education, so I tend to use it when I lecture at college, and I encourage my students to use it as a vis

As an undergrad, I worked as a tutor in mathematics, which gave me great experience in dealing with varied learning styles. This experience strongly informed my approach to the classroom as a graduate teaching assistant and, later, as an adjunct instructor. I also have a great deal of experience with a wide variety of computer hardware and software. In addition to my primary academic focus, I am a musician; I studied classical guitar as an undergraduate, and have played and written music for the guitar for more than ten years. Over the years, my experience has shown me that I not only excel at but very much enjoy teaching/tutoring others in fundamental guitar technique and basic music theory as it relates to the guitar. My approach begins with a clearly mapped out plan of study for the term of the course. The course syllabus, dictionary of examples, and external references must be though

Being currently enrolled in one of the Top 20 schools in the state of Michigan, learning is something that comes to me as second nature. Math, English, Science, Foreign Language and History are the five required subjects in the Troy School District, and they offer hundreds of other courses to excel the student body into a wide range of future careers. My strengths include writing and editing papers, biology, astronomy, algebra, Spanish and music. I also have taken extracurricular activities in music to better understand music theory. I know how to play 4 instruments at an advanced level and can sing. For the past 3 years, I have been helping out students at The School of Rock in Rochester, and have been participating in it as well. I am used to teaching both students close to my age and students younger than I. I always try to explain ideas in ways that make the student think. I never li

I feel that I have much aptitude and empathy for students’ successful endeavors in the classroom and I will do my part in making sure that my lessons will be integrated, promote creative thinking, and help the students develop decision- making skills. Social interaction will be used because it is an important aspect of life but individuality will be stressed so that the students learn to be leaders not followers. The concept of being proud of yourself and your beliefs but being aware of other peoples’ beliefs will be used to teach respect for each other and create positive self-esteem in each student. I currently teach Adult Education; High School Completion with Detroit Public Schools from 08/2508-present. I relocated to West Palm Beach, Fl. from Southfield, Michigan back in July 2004 and taught 6-7th grade Language Arts/Intensive Reading at both Lake Shore Middle and Palm Beach Central

While earning my BA from Oakland University, I would often tutor my fellow students and help them refine their papers. In addition to the sharp grammar skills required by my major, the numerous papers that I wrote have given me a broad general knowledge base which expands beyond the purely literary. I have also judged for the Oakland County Fair for the past two years, helping young people develop their skills in both the performing and visual arts. In addition, over the last two years, I have worked as a fact-checker and proofreader, both freelance and as an intern. I have also played acoustic guitar for 13 years. My pedagogical style adjusts itself according to the needs of the student. I am typically patient, and considerate, yet I can be firm if I need to be. No one person learns the same way, and my goal is to provide the best possible education, customized for a student's nee

Thomas Edison said, "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. I am extremely persistant. Whatever it takes to get someone to understand a concept I will strive to discover it. Most of all the process of learning should be kept exciting so that the pupil is left yearning for the next lesson. I went to public schools in East Detroit, Michigan. In eighth grade I set a personal goal to attend the University of Michigan. I never had private tutors. My strongest subject is math. Mr Learmont, my junior high school history teacher would frequently say, "Take care of these books and these books will take care of you." It was that inspiration that raised me to love learning and in turn teaching others.

My BS in Civil Engineering provided me with an extensive education of advanced Mathematics such as Calculus, Dynamics, Physics, and Statics. I worked for 10 years in the field which included design of subdivisions, site condominiums, and other developments. Correspondence between review engineers on projects required proper writing and grammatical skills. Since October of 2009,I have worked part-time for a Metro Detroit tutoring agency. Subjects include Math, Science, English, and ACT test preparation. Patience and flexibility are the keys. You can't explain a concept the same way to each student and expect each one will understand. Some students need extra time to grasp the material so it's important not to progress unless there's certainty of complete comprhension. Encouragement is also necessary which will build their confidence, and a confident student is a better one.
