Musical Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Blue Diamond, NV

I have been a Youth Coordinator for 10yrs and have worked with children all my life. Through these experiences I have learned the different personalities, character, and learning styles of people of all ages. I try to find ways that would be most effective for each student by getting to know their interest, lifestyle, culture, and environment, and use illustrations, analogies that would be familiar to them. I’m down to earth and easy going but find a balance in order to achieve by working hard with my students by helping them enjoy what we’re learning. I love encouraging people and helping them see their strengths and worth. It is my goal in life to show people how valuable, capable, and skillful they really are or can be. I believe that the level of education of the children will determine the future of its nation and I would like to be a part of making it a successful one even if it ta

The overall health, well-being and enlightenment of children and their families has been a passion of mine for over 15 years. As a Holistic Health Care Facilitator I understand that it is not just my job to educate children, but it is just as important to educate their parents. For instance, when the entire family has a better understanding of how the body functions more efficiently with the proper sleep and nutrition, then I have completed my educational goals. As an Phi Thea Kappa and Who's Who Among Student's in American Unversities and Colleges honoree, I understand the importance of academic excellence. In fact, during the past 20 years I have taught children on various levels for examlpe, creative movement dance class, reading, writing and science. In addition, I am trained to work with children with special needs such as trichotillomania, obessive compulsive disorder, attentio

I believe as a tutor one should be open-minded and able to relate to their students. I possess this quality. I have a history of making and maintaining a strong connection with my students. I believe that if I show interest in their life as well as their studies they become more comfortable with me, therefore creating better communication and respect. I am a full-time college student. My strengths are math and science. During my first year of college, I took five math classes and received an "A" in all of them. Based on my ACT scores, I began college in Calculus I. Upon enrollment at UNLV, my goal was to become a forensic pathologist, but my interests have steered towards business. I am now pursuing a triple major in Marketing, International Business, and Secondary Education along with minors in Accounting, Finance, and International Language. I feel confident in tutoring all levels o

My teaching style is highly influenced by the type of student that I teach. As a teacher of deaf students, my teaching must be very visual and hands-on. I find this lends itself well to teaching students who might be struggling in a regular classroom environment as well. I always begin by activating any prior knowledge a student might have in a given area, then establishing the goals that need to be met, engaging the child with relevant activities, and going from guided instruction to independent practice. Since beginning college in 1994, I have been involved with teaching and/or tutoring students, hearing and deaf. My experience teaching ranges from preschool to high school, typically developing children to those with disabilities, from impoverished and affluent areas. My tutoring has been both with a nationwide tutoring chain, as well as with a privately owned company. I have tut

Youngsters come in all different shapes and sizes, as well as different brain patterns. Being able to communicate and level with children is imperative in a teaching environment. My teaching style would be one of which that is goal-oriented, organized, and clear. An open-feedback forum is also something that I also believe in. It's important that parents, as well as the student, can communicate with me on what does and does not work as far as teaching strategies are concerned. I am very open-minded, honest, and positive. It puts a smile on my face to watch people succeed, especially if I was able to be a part of it. My four-year venture throughout college has opened my eyes to the world around us more than I could have expected. It has allowed me to become a more efficient communicator with various types of people. I have been involved with children on several occasions throughout my lif

A child must understand what he or she is reading. It is hard to do, especially with the books that are out there. I feel I can impart some knowledge to a student. I can make him or her feel comfortable reading. I am a writer. I am not published, but I have learned a lot in the English language. My experience working with mentally ill kids a hew years ago is a great help. I want to help young people with reading skills. I think that I can do it. I am going to live in Las Vegas, and am moving today. I need work. I feel that I am qualified. I am not an extraordinary... teacher. I need a more ordinary student. I feel that I can help anyone read well... Initially I will be living in The Valley Of Fire.

Children are amazing how much information they can learn, but often children need to be presented with different methods of learning and teaching. I enjoy teaching in an informal setting where students can learn in a multi-sensory environment. I plan to incorporate this type of informal teaching into tutoring. I want to offer students a safe environment where they do not feel embarrassed to make mistakes and ask questions. Patience and encouragement are the keys to helping students succeed. I am currently employed at the Las Vegas Natural History Museum as an education assistant. I teach education programs for the museum in an informal setting. I work with students in grades K-5 and occasionally high school. The goal of museum education is to reinforce classroom curriculum while instilling a new appreciation for natural science and wildlife. I also help in the development of new prog

My interest in becoming a tutor stems from my life long passion for teaching and learning. Throughout the past eight years, I have focused my efforts on soaking up my education and research experiences across many subdivisions in the field of Psychology. My education ranges from expertise in Social Psychology to Cognitive Neuroscience, however is not limited to these domains. While working toward my graduate degree I was involved in analyzing vast amounts of data, writing scientific manuscripts, and general laboratory management. In addition to this, I also taught a weekly seminar for undergraduates that worked in my laboratory and tutored them throughout the week in how to learn and implement various research techniques. Thus, throughout my education and research experience I have developed superior skills in mathematics, writing, and communication that are critical to being an excellen

I am a enthusiastic 21 year old in a 51 year old body. I am able to reach students of all ages and to find out what they require to learn. I am well rounded in most subjects, I play several instuments and sing. I am an excellent mechanic, plumber, household electrician, and carpenter. I am warm hearted and fun loving and I enjoy working and being energized by the youthful spirit. I have been teaching music for over 30 years but found out 5 years ago I have a great deal to offer as an academic tutor. My first belief is that you have to make a student believe in themselve. You do this by letting them know that the system has failed them, but together we can bridge the gap of what you need now to get your grades caught up and work backwards to learn what you have missed.

I am fortunate to have multiple intelligence. Since an early age, I have been motivated to increase my knowledge base and skill levels. My desires have motivated me to earn a double majored BS in agriculture, an applied science, and a MS in biology. I taught laboratory classes while I was a student. I began working as a tutor in 1999. This motivated me to become teacher trained. I am an AVID certified tutor. I have tutored middle school, high school, and college students in biology, chemistry, physics, environmental sciences, title-I math and language arts, prealgebra, HS algebra I & II, college algebra, pre-calculus. In my tutoring I work with study, organization, reading, and vocabulary development. I get a thrill from experiencing a student achieving the Ah-ha! moment of learning. I employ multiple modalities of teaching, since most students have multiple modalities of learning. My g

I employ a number of different tactics while teaching. My main focus is using open-ended questions which help students understand not only what the correct answer is, but also why the answer is correct. I am focus-driven and work to set objectives. I will focus on an objective until it is understood completely. I have a strong ability to relate concepts into real-life situations which helps students to retain the information they gain. As the 7th Grade English and reading teacher at Robison Middle School, test scores on the state-mandated proficiency exam improved by 24%. After one year of service, I was asked to be the Chair of the Reading department. As the instructor for Read 180, I developed students' reading abilities who were far below school and district standards.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education and a NV Teaching License ( K-8 ). I have been in the education field for over ten years and have been teaching Kindergarten for over three years in the private sector. I have become skillful at designing creative and invigorating lesson plans, which accommodate multiple intelligences, bring a hands-on approach to learning, and keep students learning and focused by keeping in mind their individual learning styles (audio, visual, kinesthic). My greatest strengths include a positive attitude, enthusiastic personality, and inspiring and motivating students. My teaching style can best be described as one that entails a variety of teaching modalities. By enthusiastically engaging my students in interesting lessons and using strategies that can address each child’s learning style, I believe this will ensure academic success. My goal as a t

I have volunteered for a violence prevention program for one year and I taught children social skills and also have them complete a nine week course of homework assignments. I also was a big sister for a little girl and I not only spent many hours with her going to the park, arts and crafts, but I also helped tutor her with her homework. I really enjoy working with children, I feel they have so much potential if given the opportunity and some students just need that one on one help with a tutor or a teacher. I make sure that my instructions and how I am teaching is consistant with how well the child is able to grasp the concept or idea I am trying to teach. The whole purpose in teaching is to make sure the student understands and that is what I practice.

My teaching style is one of non-confrontational teaching. I have had professors who did that, and it only serves to put the student on edge and not lend itself to learning. I prefer to find out what the pupil is having trouble with and then see if I can find an interest in the concept for the student to make it relevant and help him retain the concepts involved. I like to interject humor and kidding and self deprecating comments to let the person know that he/she is not the only one having problems so the student doesn't feel devastated and hopeless. I like to reinforce the positive learning curve and support positive strides in learning and progress. As a retired Osteopath I realize the value of education and the problems that we all have in learning,.

I have enjoyed three teaching/performance experiences most in my career: working with children, with challenged individuals of any age, and with the very old. I have an easy-going style that students of any age have always appreciated. I teach through discovery rather than basing learning on established protocol or theory. My most grounded belief is that we can all benefit from learning something of the arts that can be adopted on a personal level. When that happens, the possibility for personal transformation is dramatically expanded. This is about making the kind of difference that most interests me. As an Honors graduate of Boston with special emphasis in Music Composition, and a Graduate Teaching Fellow at The University of Chicago, I have both seen, and worked with the best in my field.
