I have played piano for over 40 years and have been a piano teacher for over 25 years. I studied classical piano but am comfortable with church music, broadway, pop, soft rock, and country and some jazz standards as well. I love teaching beginners and intermediate students and can take students to high level classical pieces. Some of my students started at the age of 3 and are still with me a few years later. I am consistent, and understanding, patient and warm. I use excellent methods and teach theory, technique,Hanon, performance, scales, and music for special occasions. *Any child can learn. Find out what the gems are in each child and help to polish them. I like to work with private students. Reach the child where he is. Know their personality. Make them comfortable. Be punctual, be happy. Be consistent. Be open to new ideas without lowering your standards. Be about excellence. H

I love educating children and adults and strongly believe in lifelong learning. Since I have taught at several levels and even in different countries, I use different teaching techniques. My goal is to help the learner to get the best education possible. I have taught for 20+ years in Germany (mainly Math, English and Reading) and for 4 years in Kansas City, MO. There I taught all core subjects: Math, Language Arts, Science and Social Studies. Right now I have got several part time jobs: I work as a sub at a colligiate high school (all subjects), I will teach German at the Edison College in Fort Myers (Continuing Education) and I tutor for a private company doing SES tutoring - Reading and Math. I have prepared young people to do their GED, too. The subjects I did there were Math, Science and American History.

I am a graduate of Concordia College and C.W. Post Univ. both at school in NY. I have a BA in Elem. Education and a minor in music Ed. I have my Masters in Special Ed. I have taught students first starting at the preschool level. I have taught elementary students. For 7 years I have tutored Special Ed. Students at the High School level and younger. These classes were English, Math Science,History and Reading. I love teaching and working with all children. I became a teacher because I know that it is sometimes hard for children to learn. All children learn in different ways and speeds. I am patient, and understanding. I will not give up on any child they are our future. I believe that all children can meet their potential if they are given the riht tools and education. Children need to find out who they are and what they want from life. I want to make a difference in all of my s

I have a versatile background that began with two business degrees and progressed to a professional career in purchasing and sales. I discovered along the way that my true passion was teaching and I can be more effective in a tutoring one-on-one situation than a classroom setting. I am highly proficient and have tutored nearly all subjects and grade levels. Teach a man to fish...is for life. Tutoring is the same, especially with younger children. I haven't met a student yet who is unable to learn. My job is to find the method that will best enable students to self-actualize their learning. A success is converting the child's approach and passion for learning. If I helped to change the child's mind about learning, I have literally altered the course of his/her life in a positive way.

I love teaching all ages, nearly all subjects. I understand that everyone has different styles of learning. When teaching to a group, ideally all styles would be touched on (auditory, visual, hands-on). When working one-on-one, though, it is possible to teach towards that individual's particular style of learning. This works so much better than a one-size-fits-all method of teaching. If one way of teaching isn't working, I search for a different approach, until I find one that works. I try to explain concepts using ideas and terms that the student is familiar with. This allows the student to relate new concepts to already familiar ones, which helps it 'stick' better. I love 'aha' or 'lightbulb' moments - it makes it all worthwhile! After graduating from college with my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, I taught a year of Sp. Ed.,at the elementary level. I returned to school and e

I am uniquely blessed to be a third generation teacher/educator; I have experience at all levels of public/private teaching (K-12 and undergraduate college) and have been actively involved in teaching for over twenty years. My style is hands-on, engaging the student in a one-on-one discussion of the subject(s) to be learned---I approach difficulties/challenges from the philosophy that "together, we WILL master this subject!" I also teach and train the student(s) in HOW to study, and give him/her tools and techniques to absorb and learn new and/or challenging material.

Even though I have been very active in the performing arts, teaching is my primary passion. I received a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Music from the College-Conservatory of Music of the University of Cincinnati. However, I completed a Ph.D. in Education at the University of Florida in 1990. I was a full-time special needs teacher at Oak Park School in Sarasota, Florida from 1998 until 2006. I was responsible for teaching elementary, middle school, and high school grade levels. It was a very rewarding job and gave me experience in many different areas in education. Since retiring from Oak Park I have spent a considerable amount of time tutoring in several different areas, including English, history, and math. I firmly believe that all children are capable of learning and are entitled to an atmosphere that is most conducive to the learning process and their individual needs. Pers

Teaching and/or training has always been a highlight in my life. After graduation, I accepted a position as an Adult Education Specialist; counseling and interacting with adults (18-65) returning to school for their GED's. I have worked in a variety of settings including open school, individualized, and classroom instruction. Some students need a more independent approach. Other students require much more supervision while still others respond to a positive blend of the two. Most importantly, self-discovery is the keystone to inspired learning and it allows students to stay motivated. I believe that being the facilitator is my method of choice carefully blending styles that can make the difference in learning key concepts. I am applying for the position that you advertised online for Tutors in Math and Science. Given my education and work experience, I would be an ideal match for this

My teaching style is one of patience. I use a 'multi-sensory' approach; focusing on how the student learns. Some students learn from listening, seeing or looking; and others by touching objects. I like to use a variety of materials, books, videos, computers, dvds; puzzles, games; anything that will create that 'aha' learning moment. I like to create a positive learning environment; one that will allow the student to discover and grow. My teaching experience includes over 20 years of teaching children with special needs. In addition I have taught grades K-6 students in the regular classroom. I have also have experience teaching middle school math/science and writing.I am a certified Wilson Reading teacher; a specialized reading system for students with reading difficulties. I was a reading researcher for Florida State University. Presently I am a tutor for the Literacy Council of Manatee

I am passionate about all students having an equal opportunity to learn. I believe all children can and will learn if given the right environment. I empower and encourage students through many different strategies. Making learning fun and exciting is often the tool that is missing in the classroom as well as differentiated instruction. Students learn though discovery and using all senses. I incorporate music as well since it has power to change moods and make connections in learning. I inspire students to make a difference in their own lives by empowering them to achieve success. As a graduate of Florida State University I always have had a passion for music and education. I have earned a BS and MS in Specific Learning Disabilities, Varying Exceptionalities, and English Speakers of Other Languages. I have always had a desire to work with students who have difficulties learning. I

I have a BS in Intntl Communications and Journalism and specialized in PR and Advertising. I carried out these studies in both Spain and the US. This experience gave me the opportunity to perfect various languages, to adapt to other cultures and to work in different environments. I began studying Aviation and Biology which gave me extent knowledge in many areas (math and science as well as the military). Writing research papers and lab reports gave me extensive grammatical skills in many areas of study. In the past 15 years I have tutored children, teens and adults in various subjects (Spanish, English, Algebra, Biology, Geography, Literature, Arts and Crafts, Drama, Social Sciences, History, etc) I like to make my classes fun and game like. I use different methods for remembering such as how to apply photographic memory as well as music and lyrics. I also like the use or repetition

Since 2nd grade, when my teacher sat me next to a 10-year old boy with Cerebral Palsy, it seems I have been called upon to instruct others. I tutored our high school rockstar drummer in French so he could graduate. In college I taught 3- and 4-year olds, learning as much from them, as about them. In the Army, as an instructor and Executive Officer, those child development principles and skills were frequently handy and surprisingly adaptive with young adults, and a few senior cadre. Lifelong learning has kept me fresh in a long clinical career, which is now winding down and transforming into something new. Tutoring seems like the logical next step for me. Teaching one-on-one is my forte. I can establish rapport quickly then ascertain what and how a person wants to learn in a time-efficient and respectful way. My approach is cordial give-and-take, with abundant humor and
