A Little Bit About Me...

Very laid back and encouraging to the student. Wanting to make it as fun as possible while providing the right amount of challenge to ensure growth as a playerq
I have been playing the guitar for over 13 years. I have been in a number of bands and took lessons regularly for 7 years from a very accomplished Jazz musician in Wichita Kansas named Randy Zellers. I can play a wide variety of styles and can play with any tempo, including the incredibly fast pace of some guitar styles. I have composed a countless number of songs on guitar and have learned in a traditional sense and in a self taught sense as well.

I teach acoustic, electric, and bass guitar. I will teach any genre (rock, blues, punk, metal, funk, etc...) as well as beginner level to the more advanced levels. I will require students to bring their own guitar instrument, as well as a notebook of some sort for us to keep track of your progress and continue to review and get better each lesson!
I have been playing guitar for 10 years, and have had a lot of experience with playing with other musicians and in shows. I have had much teaching experience as well, a couple years ago I was teaching at the local middle school, and have instructed many other musicians as well. Teaching is my passion and I will do whatever is in my power to help my students achieve all of their goals, and reach their greatest potential!

My comments on tutoring Guitar : After understanding a student's level and what their interests with guitar are, we pick out suitable music to use for lessons, as the student progresses. After a student gains a good understanding of playing a song, I like to go over various ways of playing the song to explore other kinds of expression through the guitar. With this approach, my students may learn to bring logic (technique, scales, theory) and feeling (how music is played) together. I go over beginning lead guitar with students. My students begin by exploring the use of the major and minor scale using one position, then we explore alternate positions, then we combine them. After a student obtains a good understanding of the above, we explore the use of other scales through the same process. We also consult with method books and recordings of appreciated artists for inspiration and ideas of licks of desired styles. If desired, Lastly, I can include singing- solo and harmony- in the lessons!

I have experience tutoring students as well as working with people individually and in groups, as an undergrad Psychology intern, a cognitive skills trainer, and a counseling student. As an undergrad intern, I worked with elementary school children as a tutor and a mentor. As a counseling student, I have worked with various populations, from grade school students (making healthier choices) to adults (stress, anxiety, career decisions, bereavement, etc.) to older adults in hospice care, as well as facilitate groups with individuals suffering from a mental illness. Also, I teach a beginner ukulele class at a community education center. Through my personal, academic and vocational experiences, I have gained insight about the process of working with people, educationally, musically and through goal setting (counseling and coaching). As a counseling student, I have worked with various populat ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a current high school student with all the subjects listed still fresh in my mind, as I am currently studying them or have studied them in the past and know them well enough that I feel very comfortable teaching them.I am also a native Spanish speaker and have basic knowledge of the German language. I have no problem working with younger children, and I would be more than willing to help you or your child succeed academically.

I take a servant leadership, customer-oriented approach to my responsibilities. I routinely try to answer the following question: What can I do to help students achieve their goals? For research papers, I encouraged students to pursue their own interests, such as a subject related to their major, in order to give them a better opportunity to enjoy the research process as opposed to merely fulfilling an exercise requirement.
From January 2006 through August 2008, I worked part-time as a freshman composition instructor, writing lab tutor, and teaching assistant for the English department at UNT. As an instructor, I taught two classes per long semester and one, intensive summer session. During the fall semesters, I taught Composition I, which introduced students to a variety of writing concepts, such as the personal essay and the visual text. The students wrote five papers, thre ... read more

Certified Interpreter tutors ASL

I am fluent in ASL from my years attending Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. I dream in sign. Worked as an interpreter since 2005. My studies in linguistics (presented at Harvard's first Linguistics conference in 2003) give me particular insight into the structure of the language and make it easy for me to identify and explain mistakes, so that you can see the bigger picture.
My goal as a tutor is to figure out what's missing that, if you had it, would make all the difference. That's the reason you pay for an instructor instead of just reading a book or watching a video. My job is to see where you are and where you are aiming for, then plot the path and light your way. My expertise is in figuring out how to get you to get it, and ultimately to get you to a point where you don't need me any more. I've learned how to do this through teaching individuals and in workshop setting ... read more

I design the lesson to the learning preference of the student. I incorporate technology, visual, tactile and kinesthetic teaching styles. This gives the student the maximum opportunity to learn. If a student is having trouble with reading comprehension there are various skill sets a child learns in order to help with standardized tests. I have experience in that area. An understanding of literary elements can also enhance a child's understanding of literature and reading. The ultimate goal is for the child to be able to read for gaining information, but also understanding of the world and experiences around them and from other people.
In my last three years of teaching I was the Inclusion/Resource teacher, however, I also worked with some Life-Skills students, as well as doing some 4th grade co-teaching. I am comfortable in working with at-risk students and understand the i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Attitude is the biggest obstacle when trying to learn something new. I try to make the learning process as fun and interesting as possible. When a student is struggling, I believe it is vital to build their confidence towards success. It is important to not make them feel overwhelmed, but to show them how to conquer a problem step by step. I can help provide the tools that your child needs to realize his/her ability.
While earning my BA in economics from The University of Texas, I also completed all my pre-med courses. This has provided me with a strong background in mathematics, social sciences, and natural sciences. I have always had a strong aptitude for integrating concepts from different disciplines and exploring how they relate to one another. This skill is useful when explaining new ideas to other students in terms that they can relate to.
