Guitar Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Interlachen, FL

I implement creativity, and ample amount of positive, fun energy into the way I teach. I believe the key to any child's learning is first instilling confidence into them. When a kid learns confidence, they begin to have the fuel needed to learn. As they grow in this confidence, they can begin to experiment in their learning and become creative in the skills they master. I have tutored for Acers tutoring in Orlando for a full year. I have full experience with teaching reading and writing, as well as somer lower level algebra and mathematic skills. The kids have ranged from ages 8-14. As well, I have been giving guitar lessons to kids between the ages of 10-14. The children have all been able to pick up quickly, and being a song writer, I encourage the kids to seek full creativity in their music and learning. In college, I've spent my time volunteering with the youth group, and helping m

I am an intermediate guitar player and can teach basic concepts. I have experience tutoring children of all ages. Having younger siblings of my own, ages 10 and 14, has given me the ability to communicate and relate to kids. I find it very rewarding when my students make progress in their studies, and I enjoy tutoring various subjects ranging from science to history.

I love teaching art to all age levels. I really enjoy it when I show someone an art technique, they learn it, and make it their own. When teaching art, I feel it very important to demonstrate a technique, discuss how the technique has been used in different cultures, and then for the student to mimic my actions. Once the technique has been mastered, the student can take the technique and use it in their own way. As a math tutor, I work closely to find a method that clicks for the student. I am very patient, and I use various ways of solving a problem to find the one that the student can most understand. As an art teacher of over 15 years, I have taught painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, graphic arts, art history, and darkroom photography. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts at Christopher Newport University and my Master of Arts degree in Teaching and Lear

I have always been an avid reader and writer, as well as a natural teacher. As early as middle school, I was tutoring my fellow classmates at the request of their parents. I studied Latin for five years, which provided an exceptional foundation for the study of English, which I pursued as my major at Loyola University. I concentrated in Creative Writing, so the bulk of my college work consisted of reading and writing to very exacting standards. I graduated Summa Cum Laude, maintaining a 4.0 major GPA for my entire four years. I have since worked as an SAT Instructor for the Princeton Review and have also tutored privately and given music lessons for supplementary income. I have always had an inclination to teach. To me, there is something very exciting about conveying understanding of a concept to another person. I think I have a particular ability for identifying precisely what aspect o

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and I have a Master's degree in Family, Youth and Community Science, with a focus on youth and community development. I was a substitute teacher in the Atlanta area for one year which gave me the chance to mentor and tutor several high school students in math. I have worked with kids through volunteer opportunities as well, such as a local community garden at a middle school. I have excellent written communication skills as well due to writing a thesis, research reports and running a business for the past 5 years. I love mentoring and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but they all have different learning styles (auditory, visual, tactile, and kinesthetic). Also, learning must be relevant to each student. For example, using sports statistics to teach math. I am patient, easy going, and fun. I am a firm believer in t

Because I learn best from application and hands-on problem solving, I incorporate games, diagrams, metaphors and stories into my teaching. I am patient, fun, and organized. I enjoy leading an individual to discover not only the answer, but also the method to solve similar problems. I believe study skills and time management are the keys to academic success and strive to help my students develop habits that will carry them through the future. I will graduate from the University of Florida in April 2010 with a BA in Biology, which required me to take up to Calculus 1 as well as Analytical Chemistry and Physiology classes. I have excelled in courses requiring numerical analysis and have experience teaching and tutoring, both in academics and athletics. Over the past 7 years, I have tutored peers in College Algebra, Trigonometry, Biology, Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, and have given ho

I am currently enrolled in the graduate engineering program at the University of Florida, in which I plan to graduate in the spring of 2012. I enjoy working with people and I have a strong background in numerical analysis. I have taken the GRE, ACT, and the SAT. Scores were high above the national average for math and at about the average for the written portion. I do have experience in writing research papers and laboratory reports, all in the field of civil engineering. I love seeing people understand something once I explain it to them in a way that they can understand it. I also love working with kids and teenagers because I believe that if we have a positive influence on young people they will grow up to be the leaders that our nation needs. My teaching style is geared at making people think. Students don't learn when they are spoon fed their education but when they are lead in the

I have a Bachelor's degree in Speech Language Pathology field as an Assistant. I graduated 11 years ago from University of Puerto Rico Medical Science Campus. During my bachelor's degree I took some curses of American Sign Language. From 8/1998 to 2/2002 I worked in Clinica de Terapias Pediatricas working in one on one basis with students to get them improve in the areas of speech, language and comprehension. While I was working with them I used to help the students in all school matters like math, language arts and sciences. After that time I took some time and started giving tutorials at home to students of elementary school having them improving every single area seeing results from D to B. I love teaching and working with children. I believe for my experience that all kids can learn but in their own ways and time. This means that there are approximately three kinds of learning:

I have two bachelors degrees, however, I believe it is my experience teaching children that has helped me develop a good sense on how to approaching teaching scenarios. I have years of experience teaching children in academics, music, and dramatic arts, as well as coaching basketball and teaching golf at the professional level. Each child is different. I always try to notice and acknowledge what benefits each student, as I think this applies to all forms of teaching from academics to athletics. Getting on their level is what ultimately benefits the child from the get go and gains their interest. If I'm interested, then the child is interested. I do my best to make sure the child is setting their goals and doing their best to achieve them in the way and style for which they are best suited.

First,I show my students I deeply care how they feel about learning. I help them identify their blocks to learning and success and help put them at ease. I know how to adapt my style to the particular age I am working with. I am very patient. I know proven strategies to help students master basic skills and more complex skills, using their style of learning. I will recognize pretty early on their zone of mastery, and capacity to cope, so they don't get too frustrated or too bored. I will use whatever modality I can find (creatively and safely) to help bring understanding. I am a cheerleader and am excited when students gain mastery of a topic that at first seemed overwhelming. I have worked with children and youth pre-school - 12th grade since 1982. I have done some literacy instruction with adults. I have been recognized as an outstanding mentor to disadvantaged youth.

I was enrolled in the Master's Program for Elementary Education at the University of Florida and volunteered over 300 hours in the public school system. I have only one year left before obtaining my advanced degree should I decide to return to school. I have also been a tutor and mentor for at-risk youth. I have volunteered with the public library and used to spend one day a week reading to children in foster homes. I have spent the past year as a Lead Teacher in Colorado where I was able to have my own classroom, assistant and students. I have worked with several children with special needs and was able to work with several professionals in the best way to teach my students. I keep an open mind that most children learn in different ways. I try to provide lots of different ways of learning the same subject.

Literally all my life I have been asked by students, parents and teachers to help students who were having trouble. I get tremendous fulfillment from watching someone who has been frustrated finally "get it." In addition to teaching music lessons, tutoring all subjects, and homeschooling my own two children, I have worked for the last 17 years with a private school. There I have taught a wide variety of subjects, but they depend on me the most heavily for high school sciences and maths. I am currently a registered substitute teacher, state certified to teach music and high school math, and I am working toward certification in more subjects. Due to my own hunger for education, I am actively pursuing a Masters Degree in Math Education. When I begin tutoring a new student, my first objective is for us to get to know each other. The student will not be able to receive very much from me until

My teaching style in general is aimed at teaching independent critical thinking and problem solving skills, with much positive praise along the way. This approach tends to foster a sense of accomplishment and skills so that the student will learn how to learn, and learn how to approach confidently assignments and tasks independently. Of course, the specifics of this approach depend upon the age, individual needs, and processing style of the student. My ultimate goal for students of all ages is that they learn how to not need me, but learn how to reach their own potential. I strive to make learning enjoyable and want my students to feel confident that they can generalize their approach and skills to all areas. In addition to 3 years of formal college teaching, I have conducted many evaluations ages 3 through adult to identify learning disabilities, and made recommendations for optimizin

I have been teaching for seven years-mostly math and some language arts. The math teaching included geometry, algebra 1, algebra 2, basic high school math and middle school math. One year my students had the highest improvement in standardized math test scores in the district, for the lower level students. My student test scores have always been high so I retained the scores. I tutored psychology for two years in college for a Buffalo State College program called SEEK, and received many compliments from the students. In Rutherford County, TN, I worked with medically homebound students and found I was very good working with the disabled students. I am also fluent in the Spanish language. I like to have the students actively participating in the lessons. They enjoy working out the lesson examples and problems on the media that is used so all of the class can see the successes and whe
