Assists in a variety of musical areas I have taught private flute lessons for 10+ years from beginners to advanced and children to adults. I have also helped with marching and concert bands as a woodwind instructor in local schools. I started taking flute lessons at the age of 12 under the instruction of Betsy Hudson-Traba, principal flutist of the Sarasota Orchestra. With a solid foundation in flute playing, I went on to study with Eva Amsler at the Florida State University where I earned my Bachelor of Music in flute performance. There were a lot of wonderful playing opportunities at FSU and as an undergraduate I was playing in the top orchestra. I was a member of the “world renown” Marching CHIEFS, where I served as section leader to 50+ flutes. One of the more unique ensembles I participated in was the Andean ensemble, Aconcagua, where I played the zampona (panpipes) and the

As a professional educator, I strive for "excellence without compromise". I believe that learning is about opening each person toward recognizing the potential within, and then taking steps to actualize that potential. My ability seems to be that of communicating and inspiring others to grow. I have combined my academic background with my other passions, music and writing. Thus I bring the outlook and freshness of a lifelong learner to my teaching. Some of the areas I tutor are:language arts, reading comprehension and critical thinking, arts, essay writing, social studies, psychology and sociology, SAT writing/verbal strategies and GRE. In addition to my academic and arts connection, I work with the concept of "learning how to learn". Essentially each child that I tutor I endeavor to assist them in learning what type of learning style that he or she possesses. Every person uses the m

During my past two years in graduate school, I have taught upper-level sociology courses primarily to college seniors and juniors. In addition to designing the content, curriculum, and evaluation criteria for these courses, I currently work as an award-winning mentor to other graduate student instructors. One year prior to teaching, I edited and graded hundreds of papers for an advanced course as a Writing Across the Curriculum Consultant. I have completed doctoral coursework, training, and examinations in sociology that included research methods, statistical analysis, social theory, and specialty concentrations in gender and sexuality. Before entering graduate school, I worked in New York City as a Health Educator advising inner-city adolescents around a wide variety of life skills. My subject areas of expertise include extensive writing and reading skills, advanced mathematics, an

Children, now young adults of my generation, were often labeled the children of “Generation X,” but today many have labeled our youth as the children of “Generation Y.” Why have our children seemed to have given up? Why do our children so often succumb to the “street life?” Why is it that our children do not value education as they once did in the past? These questions are questions that, as educators, we must be able to identify and answer to break the cycle of a generation of children with little hope and no future. The youth of today are in dire need of leadership. I have chosen a career path in education to help fill the breach within the minds and lives of our youth. I have acquired and was blessed with an inert quality to lead. I believe that I would be an effective and positive example in the lives of these students. I have a great deal of patience and concern for the youth of

For five years, I was professor of World Literature/English Composition at Clark Atlanta University. For two years, I taught Literature/Composition at North Atlanta High School. During this time, I developed a linguistically oriented method of teaching writing that allows students to appreciate and exploit the instructive correlations between the writing and reading processes. Equipped with such knowledge, students developed not only the skill, but also the confidence required for successful writing. I use a differentiated instructional approach that is designed around the student's particular needs. After assessing the students needs and setting targeted goals, I develop a (lesson) plan to meet those targets.

The last five years have seen me working in research and development roles, but teaching math and science has always been a dream of mine and it is time for a career change. Having earned BS and MS degrees in materials engineering, my technical education as well as my career have provided almost daily practice of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. I want to not just teach students something, but also show them how and why it is relevant and useful. Aside from my technical background, I am also a semi-professional jazz guitarist of 20 years experience. I have played with many groups of various genres of music over the years, but jazz has been my primary passion since high school and I currently play with a jazz quintet named Style Points. As mentioned above, I want to demonstrate to students the real-world applications of scientific and mathematical principles. This will not only help t

I enjoy working with all children. I believe that my teaching should be differientiated to fit the learning style of each student I work with. This is because all children learn differently and i have to use which strategy that works best with each particular student. All children can learn and succeed if they were given the opportunity. As a special education major and history minor, I have learned so much about helping children succeed. I am currently working toward my bachelors degree at Brenau University. This has enabled me to do various field experiences and an internship that deals with children of various ages. I have worked with all subjects from grades K-12. I have a social studies concentration with my major.

As a Big Ten graduate, I entered the education field for students in grades K-12 as a substitute teacher. I worked in Hazel Park Schools in Michigan for 6 years. I love to help students of all ages break down the subjects of math, English, French, science, and general studies --- into the minor components that will make it easy for them to understand and learn. I do not teach just memorization. I put the studies into game form, song form, and whatever creative ways possible to help the person retain the information for a long period. I strive to help them see their studies differently, and take their education seriously but at the same time to enjoy it.

I have been working with children of all ages, from diverse backgrounds, and in a variety of environments for many years. I have been a camp counselor, swim instructor, piano teacher, and religious education teacher. I currently have been substitute teaching in grades K-12. My bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in Communication studies in addition to my current graduate work has allowed me a strong command of the English language. I am most confident teaching reading, writing, and other areas of language arts. My vast array of experiences has also allowed me comfort in teaching the basics of mathematics, science, and the arts. Being a tutor allows one to reach out and find the most personal and effective way to connect and instruct a student. My exposure to the many learning styles of students has taught me the importance of first understanding the student's learning style.

In response to your recently advertised job position, I would like to share with you my experiences working in the related field. I have over five years experience working for a non-profit, child caring institute for DFCS and DJJ children. I have worked directly with the children in managing behaviors and I have worked indirectly in creating individualized treatment plans, assessments, and behavior modifications. My teaching style is to lead by example. Being that I am a visual learning I try to work in steps showing them what is expected and them I allow them to slowly work it out themselves based off of what I've done. I've done a lot of teaching to children with Autism and our teaching style varied to fit the way the child was able to learn. I also took Educational Psychology in graduate school and learned the meaning of intentional teaching, which is teaching with the intent of havin

Though I have not had much experience tutoring children, I have served as a Sunday school teacher. I am an intelligent individual who does not mind sharing knowledge with others, particularly children. I obtained a BS from Bennett College in Biology and graduated with a 3.77, which placed me in the number 8 spot in my graduating class. I work well with children because I come from a large family. I have a combined total of 9 nieces and nephews, so understanding kids is something I have had to master. I like to teach using all types of aid available. If visual, auditory, and verbal stimulants are present I will do my best to integrate them all. By doing so, each child will be able to use their own learning style to understand the subject matter. I am a very cordial person, however I will not tolerate non-sense from students. I like to make the child feel comfortable while keeping in mind
