Musical Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Indian Springs, NV

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.

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.

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 programs using the Clark County Curriculum Essential Framework. My position also requires me to use research skills and time management skills. I have also interned at two other museums as an educator. 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 int

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

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 goal is to facilitate my students to become independent learners. I employ Socratic teaching methods. I don't give answers. That's too easy. I have found that students retain learning when they work through the solution. I offer students skills to ask questions about their world. 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 midd

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.

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

Throughout college, I completed two field experiences followed by my student teaching experience. In between my field experiences, I substitute taught in three different school districts. These personal accounts allowed me to examine the similarities and differences within grade levels, and to recognize the various strategies used to reach all learners in both suburban and urban settings. Being out in the field also enabled me to further enhance my ability to communicate well with students, parents and faculty. My studies abroad in Seville, Spain are also an essential supplement to my educational training and background. Being immersed in a foreign language and culture is an experience all its own. Last year I taught 3rd grade at Salida del Sol Elementary in Yuma, AZ. Many of the students that I taught were English Language Learners. I felt that I could relate to those studen

As a retired Osteopath I realize the value of education and the problems that we all have in learning,. I have a B.A. in Chemistry and recall some of the problems I had learning some of the principles of the discipline and I would hope that I could help someone understand the problems in learning the subject. It can be difficult. I am a patient person and I have taught medical students when I lived in Ohio from the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine as a clinical professor. I hope I can make learning Chemistry fun and not a bore and difficult like some of my teachers did. 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 mak

I have earned an AA in Travel Management; a BA in Business; and an MBA in Human Resources. The knowledge I've gained through higher education is that education is continuous. It does not end when the last research paper or essay is submitted.

I enjoy teaching and utilize several different types of styles to keep students interested and desirous of learning. I provide thought provoking questions which require more than a simple yes or no answer. I envoke lecture as little as required to get across the point, but prefer demonstration or class participation. I utilize small groups so that students learn to interact with others. I have been teaching at the post-secondary level for 3 years. Prior to that time I taught classes in Emergency Medical Technician and Cardio-pulmonary Life Support to military Doctors, nurses and medical techinicians. I have been able to develop a great rapport with my students and offer special one-on-one attention when needed to ensure the required knowledge is gained. I have assisted students with medical laboratory procedures requiring unique individual instruction.
