The most enjoyable part of my job is being able to show someone a bit of engineering or to help them with their engineering work . My teaching style is more to ask questions of student and not to lecture. I also believe in using a humorous or pratical analogy for abstract concept and theory. I believe that fundamentally any student can learn and be successful. My previous job involved the design and review of Bridges, Culverts, and storm sewers on highway projects to insure completeness and accuracy. I also was involved in the development of drainage Designs and Hydraulic models for Highway Projects. Part of my job was to assist Drainage Designers with drainage design criteria and drainage design software issues. As a member of the Project Team, I would be a part of the discussion and decision making on required design exceptions, highway designs, and alternative selection bas

Genuine, personal interest in the child; establishing rapport; establishing the student's mastery level, then building from there (instead of an arbitrary line which creates anxiety); affirmation of every step of progress/success; recognition but careful use of errors in non-judgmental, constructive correction; ease in backing up for review when needed; positive verbal and behavioral reinforcement to the student, including reports to parents about same, all these are things that come to mind. I have been recognized for being able to communicate and teach behaviorally-disabled and -challenged students. I think this is because of my many years as a minister. I am nonplussed by lack of cooperation, and seem able to penetrate quickly past the veil of insecurity that causes some students not to cooperate with adults. I believe I offer more, therefore, than mere subject expertise: I bel

I enjoy teaching and working with all children. Not all of us can be the “Star Athlete”, but we can all learn the rules of the game. All children can learn. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. I have found that most students that are having difficulty can be put back on track by a teacher willing to take the time to find the problem. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I believe all children deserve to reach their potential and they can if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning opportunities. A good education can make a world of difference in a child's life. I strive to give all of my students' the tools they need to succeed in life. As a Purdue graduate, I was the recipient of the highest level of instruction in math and science. As an undergraduate I was named on the Dean’s list s

My teaching style involves what the student wants to achieve out of my teachings. For example i ask the students during their first lesson, "What musical groups and styles inspire you?" This way I can get a feel for what they are looking for. I also do from beginner to advanced theory techniques with notation, playing with a metronome, flash cards, etc. Teaching is a HUGE part of my life and i couldn't be easier to get along with. Love working with all ages, especially the little ones considering i love to be a role model to them. The greatest satisfaction i receive from teaching stems from what my students have accomplished and WILL accomplish if you happen to request my service. Thank you for listening! I have been teaching privately and in select groups for 8 years now. Have experience as a pianist since age 4, and an experienced guitarist and vocalist for 10 years. Have been through
