Guitar Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Valrico, 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

I have been a tutor for many different areas, primarily music, during my High School years. Have worked in a program that focused in teaching poor homeless children to play various instruments.

My teaching style is one that is more interactive than instructional. I continue to be amazed while I observe the thought process and problem solving techniques, of the many different and varying individuals and personalities. I am at my best in one on one situations, where I can troubleshoot and identify learning challenges in their early stages. I believe we retain 30% of what we hear and 50% of what we do.

I have a Master's in Anthropology and have spent 8 years in the field working case studies on the effects of domestic violence on children under the age of 16. I have also spent 4 years analyzing these effects and comparing them to the amount of children who move on to have violent and abnormal outburts of anger and rage. I believe that every student deserves their own personal attention. Every individual has their own learning style and relates to their teacher differently than anyone else. I find my productivity and enjoyment only comes from accomodating to each students personalities, goals, and learning style.
