Musical Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Port Orange, FL

I am currently a general music teacher at Samsula Academy, an elementary school in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I teach general music classes to students in grades K-5, as well as chorus and band. I received my Bachelor's degree from Marywood University in Scranton, PA and began my Master's studies at University of Central Florida. I currently aspire to study Irish traditional music in Ireland in the near future, and would continue to offer online tutoring services during those studies. At Samsula Academy, I offer private music lessons. I have mostly taught piano, but I also have taught trumpet, trombone, drums, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and violin. As a part of my undergraduate studies, I took methods courses in all band and orchestra instruments, so I am trained to teach most anything. I also have experience assisting in the elementary classrooms in reading, writing, and math, and preparing

I enjoy teaching other people. I know in my simple way I am helping them. I can adapt to other people's environment or show them a new way to approach some things. I understand that each individual has their own way on learning things and I respect that. I spent four years of my college in the University of Santo Tomas, Philippines. I enjoyed helping my schoolmates. I joined the organization "Scholia" where we conducted tutoring for free to help our schoolmates with certain subjects.

I recently graduated from Stetson University with a Bacehlor of Arts in Elementary Education. Throughout my last 3 years at Stetson I was constantly in the classroom doing one on one tutoring, group tutoring as well as whole class. I completed my internship in a 2nd grade classroom. I have also been involved in music my whole life. I have been singing in choirs for the past 15 years. In high school I was the soprano section leader in my choir. I started out my college career on a music scholarship as a vocal performance major. I believe that all students have the ability to learn as long as the environment is positive and conducive to learning. I feel that all students need to not only know how to improve their weaknesses, but they also need to know how to continue to improve their strengths. I know that all students come from different backgrounds and in order to help them learn, the ma

My teaching style incorporates respect for each individual student and their needs. I believe in listening and caring to further each child's achievement. With the correct stimulus ach child has the potential to succeed and I, through personal design, attempt to reach and fill the need of the child. Previous students from 12-30 years old have continued onward to success in business, political, and personal goals. After completing an Bachelor's of Arts and Sciences at Florida A & M University and a Masters of Arts and Sciences from Bowling Green University in Communications, I began my career as an Arts Instructor in Los Angeles. Then I relocated to Italy where I taught a very diverse population and tutored in English for various consulting firms. I also administered evalutation tests to ascertain functional level to better teach individuals at their level. I have over 25 years in

As a college senior, I have accumulated countless hours towards tutoring and mentoring those in need. Whether it's Pre-K, Elementary, Junior High, High School and College students, I spend a great part of my life not just accomplishing goals, but taking the time to extend a hand and bringing those once behind me to the forefront. I have grown to learn that the right amount of disciplne and nurturing go further than a full dose of either. The subjects I mostly excel in are mathematics, psychology, English, reading, and the Arts. I feel that the well-rounded education that I have received makes me versatile in the educational system as a multi-threat to the decline in graduation rates. I find great joy in watching a child progress in their education. All children are capable of learning at their own pace, and through repetition. Your child will find success and ease in their academics thro

After graduating with a degree in Elementary Education in 2001, I taught 2nd grade for one year. As a first year teacher, I completed the Teacher Induction Program, also known as the TIP Program. Additionally, I took and passed the following state exams: Professional Ed, Elementary Ed, and Middle Grades Mathematics. A desire to to attain specific math certification arose when I relocated to a different county and accepted a position teaching middle school math. I enjoyed this position very much, but resigned upon the birth of my son. Now, I believe a position utilizing my teaching experience with flexible, afternoon hours would be an ideal fit for me. I am a teacher who realizes all students can improve if they receive motivation and instruction appropriate to their specific circumstance. I believe it is important to encourage individuality, creativity, critical thinking, and determ

I have two bachelors degrees, however, I believe it is my experience teaching children that has helped me develop a good sense on how to approaching teaching scenarios. I have years of experience teaching children in academics, music, and dramatic arts, as well as coaching basketball and teaching golf at the professional level. Each child is different. I always try to notice and acknowledge what benefits each student, as I think this applies to all forms of teaching from academics to athletics. Getting on their level is what ultimately benefits the child from the get go and gains their interest. If I'm interested, then the child is interested. I do my best to make sure the child is setting their goals and doing their best to achieve them in the way and style for which they are best suited.

Since third grade I have always wanted to become a teacher. My third grade teacher inspired me to work hard and to never give up. I want to become that same inspiration in the lives of children. I believe that all children should be given an opportunity to learn. Children learn in many different ways. From my college experience and working in a classroom, I gained knowledge and strategies that would be beneficial for all students. Students should be given a chance to go above and beyond their potential when given appropriate learning experiences. I am a firm believer in becoming a life – long learner where learning never stops. I want to make a difference in the lives of children because they are our leaders of tomorrow. In May 2009, I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with a BA in Elementary Education. I had a wonderful experience in college where I gained a philosophy

As a Stetson University graduate, I have always thrived for a higher level of excellence. I have earned my Bachelor degree in elementary education and have a minor in music. I have been a Seminole county teacher for 16 years. My certification is grades 1-6, although I have worked with tutoring children of all ages and ability levels. It has always been my goal to give students the confidence and skills they need in order to be successful students and members of their communities. My teaching style is more of a demonstrator. This means that I give an emphasis on demonstrating and modeling strategies. Then as a coach/guide I help students develop and apply the skills and knowledge necessary for understanding concepts. I generally show my students how to properly do a task or work through a problem, then I'll help them master the task or problem. Repetition is an essential part of lea

I am a firm believer that every person has the right to an education. I am a very patient, laid back educator. My teaching philosophy is one of challenge and support. I believe that when a student is challenged academically, they will succeed if there is adequate support provided. I prefer to focus on a student’s learning strengths. By helping students realize what they do well, one can then apply those skills to subjects that the student finds challenging. Every person has the ability to learn anything that they put their mind too. I will make every effort to help students realize their true academic potential. As a first generation college student, I was encouraged by my parents to do succeed in school. They knew that for me to be able to attend college I would have to well in school. While I was pursuing my BA in Art History and Archaeology, I found that I had a knack for encouraging

I have always been involved in the teaching industry. Weather that is after school care or tutoring and mentoring. I was an Americorps Volunteer from 2000-2001 working within education. I was an in class tutor for kindergarden, 3rd and 5th grades. I also taught at Apopka Middle and drop out prevention at Apopka High School. I facilitated a boys group every Tuesday night and a youth group every Wednesday night. I did summer camps and tutoring after school as well. My teaching style is that we do not move on until you (the student) "get it". If that is an hour or two, that's fine, or a week or two, that is fine as well. I need the student to know the material in order to move on.

As a graduate of Purdue University, I have earned a bachelor's in chemistry. My chemistry degree is also accredited by the American Chemical Society. To achieve this, I had to take advanced chemistry and math courses. Also while attending Purdue, I was a team leader for their Women In Science Program. Throughout this program, I mentored incoming female freshmen science majors for four years. As a mentor, not only did I help them adjust to college life, but I was also there to advise them on courses and I even helped them study for their classes. I like to perform the tasks in front of the student and explain everything, step by step, as well as give information on why I'm doing that step. Then, if the student understands and feels comforatable performing the task, I'll let them try it with me, being there to help out as needed. I like students to be very hands on when it comes to

I believe that children learn in many different ways. A good teacher will seek out their students learning style and adapt their lessons to suit their student. I love working with children. I am easy going, patient, and understanding. My goal is that my students finish their tutoring program feeling confident in themselves and their abilities within mathematics. During my first 2 years of college, I was an Elementary Education / Special Needs major at Boston College. I completed a pre-practicum as an assistant teacher at a Boston public school. I continued my education at Rutgers University, and graduated in 1998, received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and Computers Science.

With a lifelong interest in math and science, I received a B.S. in Physics and a B.S. in Astrophysics/Astronomy. Numerous lab reports and multimedia presentations have developed my technical writing skills, but also have experience with critical and analytical writing. I have utilized my background to tutor students in math and sciences as well as music, even assisting teachers in coming up with interdisciplinary projects to relate concepts in math and physics. I have been working with elementary through high school students for the last few years and am able to relate to many age groups. I try to link the subject matter to things that the students are interested in so that they not only understand what they're learning but also gain an interest to learn more and help them stay focused. I give students clues to help them figure out problems by breaking them into smaller pieces rather th
