Saxophone Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Waldo, FL

I graduated from Vanderbilt in 2004 with a major in philosophy and a minor in geology. My overall GPA was 3.674/4.000. I enjoy using both sides of my brain, so to speak. Through philosophy, I mastered formalities of the English language and developed an aptitude for critical and logical thinking. Through geology, I focused on the practical through the application of mathematical and scientific concepts. I have tutored students in math, English, and the sciences. There is no subject area I can't tackle! I enjoy helping others understand concepts that they are struggling with. It is very gratifying when a student has that "a ha" moment. I am a little strict with instruction. If a student is not paying attention or has not completed an assignment that I've asked him/her to do, I will not overlook it. I think that, in the interest of the end goal of improving grades, it's a

I love being able to give other students the passion that I have for learning and understanding something new. During my undergraduate work in psychology and training to be a tutor, I learned the different types of learning styles and how to test for them. I use this technique with every student I work with, so that I can teach to their form of learning. I believe that children learn best through practical application and hands on activities that help them better understand what we discuss and work on. All children are capable of learning and excelling, once they understand how they learn best. I strive to instill in every child a feeling of pride and self-esteem in their studies. From a young age, I greatly enjoyed school and excelling in all that I put my mind to. To this end, I have earned a BS in Psychology and a minor in biology, both with Honors, and am applying to continue m

As a graduate of the University of Florida, I studied Physics and played football as well. Earning a Bachelors degree in Physics, I studied all levels of Calculus, Differential equations, linear algebra, thermal physics, electromagnetism, chemistry 1 and 2, mechanics, quantum mechanics, and many other classes. Therefore, I am very skilled in the areas of math and science. I am more capable as a teacher and mentor to students in middle school and high school. While I have a lot of experience with elementary students, I find my best impact on middle and high school students. I like to use the Socratic method in which I try to make the student answer there own question, by posing other logical questions in which they can deduce the resolution.

As a graduate of Southwestern College, I was very much driven by a high level of excellence in education. While on active duty in the military, I completed my BS in Human Resource Development and I received Magna Cum Laude honors. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and reports in various areas of study. During the last eight years of my military career I have counseled Sailors in pursuing a college education and tutored several of these same Sailors in English and mathematics. I love teaching and working with young minds. I believe anyone can learn and meet his or her potential if he or she is given the opportunity. I am patient, easy going, and considerate to the needs of the learner. I hope to make a difference in a student's life and I am available to help you find academic success.

I love teaching and working with children. I believe that every child can learn as long as you find a teaching style that fits them the best. I am patient, easy going, and compassionate while also being passionate about learning. I go out of my way to provide the best educational experience possible so that my students can feel successful. I feel that all lessons need to stimulate the child visually, auditorially and kinesthetically. I strive to make all of my students feel that they are capable of learning and that they really can do anything that they put their mind to. I entered college with a GPA of 4.88. I obtained a Bachelors of Science in Biology while also earning a minor in both chemistry and psychology. I was only three classes short of majoring in chemistry.

My future plans are to become a Health Care or a Biology teacher in the summer of 2010. I believe in passing the information that I have obtained to a younger audience and helping students think of goals and help them reach them. If I begin tutoring my teaching method is a more visual and hands on learning. The reason for that science is a very different and difficult subject to learn from English and History. Science subjects have three main methods of teaching which are reaching, visual and hand on. In comparison, there are a variety of sciences such as: Biology, Anatomy and Botany. These three subjects that are all related to science, but each subject are different. As a student at Alabama State University I excelled in my studies. My years attending I did not graduate but I was placed on the Dean's List for 3 years. In addition, I was vice president of BioMedical Club an elite

I feel very strongly about a differential approach to my teaching methods. I believe every child is different and learns differently then the next child. I feel confident in developing a lesson plan that can be diverse enough to meet each and every child’s gifts and disadvantages. My life is dedicated to teaching and I hope that I will be able to teach for a very long time. My hopes are to eventually acquire a PhD in Education. I have attended CFCC and FCCJ. I am currently attending Liberty University for my Bachelor in Education. I have been teaching for about 7 years and through that time I have learned an extensive amount not only through in-services and training classes, but through my colleagues. I feel very confident in my ability to reach children that feel that they just can't get it. I have two children of my own, which I homeschooled for a year. My daughter, who is 13 years old

I tailor my teaching style to the student. I believe that the lesson should be based on the learner and not the preference of the teacher. Repetition is good for learning; therefore, the use of various teaching methods are employed in order to maximize the information retained and learned by the individual student. I may use music, writing, reading (various types of writing materials),arts & crafts, and real life relations to engage the student in retaining and comprehending information; not just for the class, but for a solid foundation in the subject area. I desire for the student to retain the information beyond the test. I was a Graduate Teacher’s Assistant at the University of North Florida January 2008-May 2008 in the Criminal Justice & Criminology Department, for Crime In America & Justice Systems (Courses included Freshman-Senior); where I facilitated breakout sessions of lec

Prior to my relocation to the Jacksonville, Florida area I had completed my undergraduate degree and was working toward my Masters in Education for Middle School. During this period, I interned at a middle school and had worked as a substitute teacher. I have also worked in management and training. I believe that each child has a unique learning style or motivation trigger and it is the teacher or tutor's job to find what will encourage the child to learn. I desire to teach children but also to help them learn how to teach themselves.

Since high school, my passion for telling stories led me to my degree in Journalism. I worked as a professional news reporter for two medium market stations and was on my way to work for a larger market. My career took a turn for the better and I found my calling was education. I have always coached and been a choreographer, so working with children and helping them succeed was also a passion. I hope to utilize my skills in writing and communications, as well as my discipline and focus skills I acquired in band, cheer and dance, to help students succeed. My teaching style is very hands-on. I believe in practical knowledge and showing students several different ways to understand something. I also believe in providing students the opportunity to figure out solutions to problems on their own with encouragement, instead of just having them copy what I say. I also believe that all lea

I like to teach using everyday life experiences and things that are relative to the tutee. One can read MacBeth and other writers from the past and still be motivated to learn. I don't believe in memorization because that is not learning. I want the child to carry his newly learned knowledge well into his future and always have it available in the back of his mind. It should not be forgotten but built upon. It's like building a brick wall, one brick at a time. It does take time but when that final brick is put in place, what a masterpiece! As a graduate of Jacksonville University, I feel I received an excellent education and want to give back to the community. There is not enough emphasis placed on education as it was during my growing up years. I fear that the focus has turned and it is centered on sports not academics. I feel there can be a happy medium reach in which students

I believe that personalized education is the foundation of a balanced, succesful individual. I also believe that a balance of study and experimentation, as well as opportunities to internalize and adapt information and experiences are critical to both academic success and personal growth. . I can help your child build mental discipline and study skills through all phases of the educational process; to a goal-oriented, focused student, no subject is daunting or intimidating. I am a patient, experienced, optimistic instructor whose greatest satisfaction comes in helping others realize their fullest potential.
