Guitar is one of my top subjects! I specialize in accoustic guitar, electric guitar and bass guitar. I have 10 years of experience. I am a student (senior) at Birmingham Southern College majoring in music. I have played lead guitar in a few bands, and I currently play and sing with the Lauren-Michael Sellers Band in Birmingham. I also lead comtemporary worship music in my church a couple of Sundays each month.

I enjoy taking students' interests and style of music into consideration when planning instruction. I then back them up to show them how to get to the point of expertise to be able to perform that genre of music. I am also very interested in the history of music and what has led us to where we are today in music. I have a strong ear for music, but I also believe that sight reading and formal training is important. Young students seem to relate well to me because I am only 21.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style exhibits a very individualized, hands-on approach. Even in a classroom with 20-30 students, I attempt to understand individual learning styles and work with students on an individual basis when possible. As a tutor, my approach is not to use a standard approach to which I expect the student to adhere. I feel it is my responsibility to understand how the student learns and comes to understand. Once I can get a feel for this, I use this individualized approach to make the student feel comfortable and confident that they can accomplish the task they are trying to complete.
I have had numerous experiences teaching over the past few years through my degree program at the University of Alabama. As part of my clinical experiences, I have taught in middle school and high school History and Social Studies classrooms. Last year, I taught for an entire semester at Tuscaloosa ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While attending Birmingham Southern College, I had several teaching experiences: I volunteered as a tutor at a nearby elementary school, tutored in my college's writing center, and worked for three summers as a camp counselor. After receiving a BA in English, I taught high school English conversation in Hungary for a year. My ultimate goal is to teach English at a university, but I love working with primary and secondary schoolers. Given my reading, writing, and editing experience (as well as my extensive experience working with children), I feel comfortable teaching and tutoring students in the humanities, especially literature, grammar, and composition.
I thoroughly enjoy working with, teaching, and learning from children. I approach teaching with the belief that all students are capable of excelling if both they and the teacher have the appropriate attitude. With an easygoin ... read more
