Guitar Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Dayton, OH

I believe in allowing students the room to direct their own learning. Students who believe that they play an important role in their own education find a deeper level of satisfaction and pride both in their abilities and in their studies. Learning should be fun and exciting and offer students the ability to challenge themselves, explore their world, and see the value of knowledge and academics. Individual instruction is an ideal learning environment and offers the opportunity to tailor a student's program of study to their own unique learning style and interest. I am currently a graduate student at Wright State University majoring in English Literature. I am also a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) for the English Department and have developed a deep admiration for working closely with students. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) for the English Department I have been afforded t

My compassionate teaching style will be tailored specifically to the student at the level he or she is at. It is essential to make this experience fun, challenging, rewarding and a feeling of accomplishment. A child’s musical development may require a bit more attention span, overcoming the frustration of failures of early technique abilities, mood swings and other areas. Adult learners may wish to learn specific songs, or special techniques. In either example I would customize the appropriate teaching skills for the specific student. A good teacher can make the student’s learning experience enjoyable with a sense of accomplishment. My role is to allow these feelings to emerge, and the instruction to reach these goals. I have circled myself with music my entire life. I began playing clarinet at age ten, and during my college years I studied music theory and composition while majo

I love helping others learn and achieve higher levels of academic success. Working with College students is always neat since the material is challenging and engaging. But, I also love children and enjoy working with them in mathematics, spelling, and science. I'm an easy-going and patient person who feels honored to help children and adults alike meet their full potential. A lot of times, a small amount of individualized attention can go a long way. I have earned a BS in Mathematics with Actuary Emphasis. This allowed me to become very well-rounded as I studied Finance, Accounting, Business, and Computer Science along with my Math core. I have presented two individual research projects at Mathematics Association of America Conferences and learned great presenting techniques and communication skills. Before becoming a math major, I studied pharmacy for two years and also have an extensiv

In between obtaining my BA in political science and English from the University of Mississippi in 2009 and returning to school for chemical engineering I spent a year and a half working with student governments on college campuses as a political consultant for a public policy organization. I learned to love working with students through this experience, so when I returned to school it seemed natural to become an academic tutor. I have successfully worked with students of all ages in all levels of mathematics up to calculus II at the college level in addition to AP biology, chemistry, physics, government, grammar, writing, reading and ACT prep. My teaching style revolves around the idea of mastering important aspects of a subject area before moving to a more difficult subject area. In our current education system, students are allowed to move to more difficult courses without having the n

I am not overbearing. I am laid back, but at the same time, I make sure that the student learns what he/she needs to learn. I am very patient. I try to respect the student and not make learning seem like a chore. Building a foundation of learning skills, even during a short tudoring session can really change a student's approach in all of their classes. I have taken education classes at Northern Kentucky University. At one point, I was considering on being a Art Teacher. I didn't finish with that path, but I did gain much experience with children and knowledge during that time in working with students. I have worked and studied special needs children as well. I still consider going back for a Master's at some point in education. I think this job would be beneficial in my goals, and for my students, and a great learning experience for us both.
