Guitar Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Pollock Pines, CA

As a college graduate, I was extremely driven to achieve a high level of academic excellence. I earned my bachelors degree in Communication Studies with a minor in Philosophy. These have enabled me to have an understanding of many areas of Language Arts, History, and English. As a Comm Studies major I was held to a high standard of technical writing with essay and would always use credible sources for my research. I love to teach, there is nothing more self rewarding then helping a person who is struggling to achieve something and helping them with their goals. I believe all students can find academic success somewhere if given the correct opportunities and surroundings. I firmly believe that I have been educated by some of the best and these educators have made a world of difference in my life and expectations. I would like to help students in the same way my educators helped me.

Teaching children has been a love of mine all my life. I had some difficulties learning certain things as a child, but through the use of tutoring I myself overcame this and went on to graduate college with one of the most difficult majors. I believe my own struggles with learning have instilled in me compassion, patience and a deeper understanding of how children think and what types of learning styles will best work. I am very positive, encouraging and easy going and a firm believer that all children can succeed academically if they are provided the proper approach to learning tailored to their own unique style. I love seeing that lightbulb go off and their understanding come into view. All throughout my High School & College experience, I was inspired by Ancient World History. In addition to competing as a collegiate athlete, I have also traveled to Europe twice on educational study a

For the last 10 years I have played professionally as the guitar duo of "Martin and Vargas". We currently play weekly and have produced and recorded our first CD, "La Vina".

I have a deep passion in what I enjoy doing and I wish to help others learn from my knowledge and skills that I have developed during all my years of playing the guitar. In addition to playing the guitar, I have been a certified lifeguard for 17 years. I was certified lifeguard instructor for 7 years of these years; teaching CPR, First Aid, Basic Lifeguarding and Waterfront Rescue Training. The majority of my students were High School Students.

I enjoy teaching and see it as one of my gifts. In all of my jobs I've seen it as my goal to help others learn and grow. I believe that everyone is a natural learner, everyone is curious. Each of us has a different learning style and I am sensitive to that in each person that I teach. I am a naturally calm and friendly person and I always discover something I like about the people with whom I work. I love to inspire and encourage and help learners experience the joy of discovery. As a college graduate with both a bachelor's and master's degree, I have always been seeking excellence in learning. I have, over the years written many papers, reports, and essays, and consequently have learned and used many writing skills in many contexts. I have written academic papers, mental health reports, and sermons. For the past 20+ years in my work as a pastor and mental health rehab specialist

I come from a family of teachers and, like my parents, I enjoy helping others and reaching the end goal of aiding a student in attaining their own aspirations both long and short term. I understand the difficulties and frustrations that often accompany learning, however I believe that with the right positive reinforcements all students can overcome any hurdle and achieve academic success. In addition, these academic success are the kindling to creating a growing fire of self-motivation which can last a lifetime. I want to help all students in anyway possible to find the academic switch that inspires them to continue to learn and better themselves. As a recent college graduate with a BA in Spanish and a BA in International Affairs, I possess current experiences from my studies in the United States, Europe and South America. Since attending college in Spain and Argentina I understand w

I like to take my time and make sure that the things I've shown are mentally retained. Everybody has a unique style of learning suited to them and you need somebody that can recognize those styles and adapt in the way they learn best. One of my favorite things is seeing a persons face (old,young or anywhere in between) light up after they play a riff or song after really working at it and wanting it so bad. I have been playing guitar for about five years now. I've taught many of my friends to play as well. I have a lot of patients and really enjoy what I do. I can play anything from soft acoustic type style to metal. Scales, chords, style and theory. I can teach you everything you will need to take you and your playing to the next level.
