Guitar Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Sarasota, FL

I have played guitar for years. My style is student centered. I always try to provide a positive atmosphere for learning. My jokes were a technique to help accomplish that goal. As a GED teacher I always began with a pretest and documented student progress to correct any deficiencies. I believe in positive reinforcement and helping students achieve their goals which gives us both a sense of accomplishment. I am an honors graduate of U.S.F. with forty years of teaching experience. In addition to my B.A. and M.A. degrees, I completed all cousework for the ED.D. I have taught FCAT preperation in middle school in math and reading. I have also taught GED Prep in the evenings. I taught junior high math one year. I have also written two books. One is a history jokebook. The other is a memoir of humorous classroom incidents. I believe that these experiences qualify me to tutor social studies, re

My best trait as a tutor is that I will not give up on my student, even if they have given up on themselves. It is my belief that most concepts can be understood if taught properly, and relate the knowledge to them in a way that would make it simple. Through my experiences with my children I have acquired personal satisfaction from teaching. It is definitely very rewarding to see them gain confidence and understand a concept, especially after seeing them struggle with it. I have a good understanding in math and its applications. I do not have formal tutoring experience as an adult, but have taken a break from my career in business to stay home and take care of my children, currently 5 and 7 years old. I have helped my daughter with most of her math concepts and homework and she is one of the best in her class, and I have helped both with their English and Spanish vocabulary and pron

One of my gifts with working with children has always been the ability to relate well with them. I know what motivates children and have always shown patience and understanding. I have always tried to have children learn while having fun and try to give them multiple experiences because not all children learn in the same way. I have my professional certification in Elementary K-6 and Physical Education K-12. I recently taught Kindergarten and I have more than 30 years experience working with children of all ages. Along with teaching I have twice owned my own school and been the Director of many schools and summer camps. My strength has always been teaching Mathematics and I am taking the certification test next week.

I have been a fluent Spanish speaker for over 15 years and although not a a native speaker, I and others consider me to be a fluent speaker and writer of Spanish. I am a translator and intepreter, creative writer and have experience tutoring professionally as well as a volunteer. I would describe my teaching style as very patient, supportive and goal-oriented.

My education is a private-based curriculum comprised of small student-teacher ratios. Since 4th grade I was taught intensive Spanish. A prep student, I excelled in English, Algebra and Geometry. My BA in Political Science included History and theoretical modern political thought and processes with a year in Latin. I studied worldwide economical and political research, often including statistics. My MBA in Marketing and Management Strategy concentrated focus in an MBA program stressing disciplines in business including Financial Analysis, Accounting and Statistical Analysis. I have informal experience as an English, Political Science and Marketing tutor to my prep, college and MBA peers. I have taught private guitar for the past 10 years. Excellent with children, I can adjust my teaching style with the personality of the child. No child learns the same, so it is important to create a le

Taught guitar independently for about three years in a music store in Connecticut. Also taught in Lisbon Middle School for one year. I've also been involved with teaching guitar and other subjects over a broad range of topics and years. While I can be flexible in style and content, I lean toward contemporary interaction with less rigid guidelines. As a child progresses, I feel it necessary to adapt the their specific needs and abilities.

I have been educating children who are experiencing difficulties in their learning through private and small group instruction for over 12 years. In addition to my BA and MBA, I have earned a certification from Structure of Intellect, Vida OR, so that I can assess the learning skills of students then train the brain to receive and process information in new ways. I work with all levels of students(K - 12)primarily in Mathematics and English. I employ the multiple intelligence philosophy when working with students. I believe that all students can learn; we must be able to identify their innate learning style and utilize that with innovative ways to teach them. The way information is presented can make it easier to grasp. I always look for the small successes, and praise the student, so that they gain added confidence to accomplish the more challenging ones.

I have been a substitute teacher for the last 5 years in Olympia, WA. and Versailles, Ky. and a Driver Safety and Awareness instructor for Ashland Oil corporate executives. My teaching style is one that is more interactive than instructional.

I look at each student as an individual with specific learning styles that they respond best to. My goal is to identify the learning style or styles of your student and then apply my creative mind to finding ways to present information. Positive reinforcement has given me the best success with students through the years. I believe there are no stupid questions and assess continually until I know that a concept has been grasped. Celebrations of milestones and victories are a large part of what I do as I believe self-esteem and failure can be the biggest obstacle a student must overcome. As a graduate of Humboldt State University with a BA and a 2 year post-graduate certificate to teach, I have been led through an array of opportunities over 28 years. I have dealt with special needs children, teens, preschoolers, elementary children and taught any subject placed in front of me. In ad

In a little under two years, I have spent my teaching experience abroad, splitting time between contract work in South Korea and Costa Rica as an English Language Instructor of both Elementary and Adult Language Education in 2nd Language Acquisition. In my experience, I came to understand that teaching language covers more than just the basics of speech and pronunciation, but developing ways in which to effectively communicate in which both teacher and student are able to relate the same ideas with one another, which include not only the areas of reading, writing, and speech, but also areas of math, science, art, physical education and wellness, and music as well. I find teaching to be an enriching field that allows me the creativity and flexibility to allow necessary adjustments to the core curriculum based on the student or group of students learning abilities and styles.

I graduated college with a degree in Psychology but have much experience in biology and chemistry. I have taken many science classes as I am now awaiting acceptance to University of Florida's Dental School. I am also a certified personal trainer so I am very familiar with anatomy. I have also been playing the guitar and piano for 10 years. As a kid I was very sickly and had back problems. This forced me to become patient with school. I have developed my own learning style in a way that relates to things that I find relevant. I use this strategy to help others better process information that may at first seem difficult to them. I have tutored elementary school children in basic science as well as college students in organic chemistry.

I discovered my love for teaching and working with children in the Dominican Republic while on an alternative spring break working with at-risk youth living on the streets of the city of Santiago. With this experience I learned that one of the most important thing in the world is education, and I began my life as an educator. With tutoring I try to implement a facilitated teaching method that involves students pushing themselves to learn. As far as my teaching style goes, I think it is the role of the student to want to learn, and if they are struggling with this concept I work to motivate them to understand the necessity and great opportunities that education provides. I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with a degree in biology and chemistry minor. I finished with honors, while in the honors program and Phi Eta Sigma honor society and the Golden Key honor society. Throughout
