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

I am a full-time college student. My strengths are math and science. During my first year of college, I took five math classes and received an "A" in all of them. Based on my ACT scores, I began college in Calculus I. Upon enrollment at UNLV, my goal was to become a forensic pathologist, but my interests have steered towards business. I am now pursuing a triple major in Marketing, International Business, and Secondary Education along with minors in Accounting, Finance, and International Language. I feel confident in tutoring all levels of math, from basic skills to college peers. I believe as a tutor one should be open-minded and able to relate to their students. I possess this quality. I have a history of making and maintaining a strong connection with my students. I believe that if I show interest in their life as well as their studies they become more comfortable with me, therefore

I believe that the level of education of the children will determine the future of its nation and I would like to be a part of making it a successful one even if it takes one child at a time. Education does not only lead to success but allows the mind and life to expand its horizons. My passion is helping others. Although my degree is Mathematics, my experiences are spread across different fields. I am a singer, dancer, actress, athlete, events/wedding coordinator, church/youth coordinator, and have volunteered for several charity events. During the past 12 years I have worked for AAA Admin to Analyst. I have tutored students in Math (to early college level) and Vocals. I have also helped my family run a successful business (local store). I have been a Youth Coordinator for 10yrs and have worked with children all my life. Through these experiences I have learned the different personaliti

My teaching style is progressive. I believe education should be entertaining, however not entertainment. I enjoy challenging my students, however to do this effectively it is important that they remain engaged. One of the ways in which I do this is to encourage students to think creatively. Creativity is the key to success with education. Not only does it foster confidence and positive self-esteem, creativity keeps the brain on its toes, so to speak, by continually challenging students’ abilities and forcing students to expand beyond their academic comfort zone. Teaching students to develop new ways to solve problems generates the confidence needed to succeed not only in school but also in life. My interest in becoming a tutor stems from my life long passion for teaching and learning. Throughout the past eight years, I have focused my efforts on soaking up my education and research exper

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 life, though I haven't had 'official' teaching experience. In college I was involved with SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) which is a community service based project centered around teaching and helping children. I was also a Mad Science instructor for kids in summer school, and a coach of a children's hockey team. 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.

As an Phi Thea Kappa and Who's Who Among Student's in American Unversities and Colleges honoree, I understand the importance of academic excellence. In fact, during the past 20 years I have taught children on various levels for examlpe, creative movement dance class, reading, writing and science. In addition, I am trained to work with children with special needs such as trichotillomania, obessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit disorder and depression. The overall health, well-being and enlightenment of children and their families has been a passion of mine for over 15 years. As a Holistic Health Care Facilitator I understand that it is not just my job to educate children, but it is just as important to educate their parents. For instance, when the entire family has a better understanding of how the body functions more efficiently with the proper sleep and nutrition, then I ha

My first belief is that you have to make a student believe in themselve. You do this by letting them know that the system has failed them, but together we can bridge the gap of what you need now to get your grades caught up and work backwards to learn what you have missed. I driven to find innovative ways to make them learn, like using coins and other objects like liquid containers. Making jokes about historical events that are so dumb they have to remember. I believe we can change the world a couple people at a time. I am a enthusiastic 21 year old in a 51 year old body. I am able to reach students of all ages and to find out what they require to learn. I am well rounded in most subjects, I play several instuments and sing. I am an excellent mechanic, plumber, household electrician, and carpenter.

I love working with children and watching them grow. I believe they all have different ways in which they learn. I am patient, and considerate of students and will help them until they get the answer. My goal is to help the child learn how to get the outcome to a problem. I will strive to make a difference in all their lives, to live, learn and grow. AS a graduate of SUU, I have always loved working with children. I love watching them grow and learn. I have tutored many students in reading, for it is my passion. I have earned a BS degree in Elementary education, with a minor in Literacy.

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 tutored in every subject area, and feel comfortable with any subject area. 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

I hold a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education and a NV Teaching License ( K-8 ). I have been in the education field for over ten years and have been teaching Kindergarten for over three years in the private sector. I have become skillful at designing creative and invigorating lesson plans, which accommodate multiple intelligences, bring a hands-on approach to learning, and keep students learning and focused by keeping in mind their individual learning styles (audio, visual, kinesthic). My greatest strengths include a positive attitude, enthusiastic personality, and inspiring and motivating students. My teaching style can best be described as one that entails a variety of teaching modalities. By enthusiastically engaging my students in interesting lessons and using strategies that can address each child’s learning style, I believe this will ensure academic success. My goal as a t

I have enjoyed three teaching/performance experiences most in my career: working with children, with challenged individuals of any age, and with the very old. I have an easy-going style that students of any age have always appreciated. I teach through discovery rather than basing learning on established protocol or theory. My most grounded belief is that we can all benefit from learning something of the arts that can be adopted on a personal level. When that happens, the possibility for personal transformation is dramatically expanded. This is about making the kind of difference that most interests me. As an Honors graduate of Boston with special emphasis in Music Composition, and a Graduate Teaching Fellow at The University of Chicago, I have both seen, and worked with the best in my field. While not having pursued a teaching certification, I have learned from the best in my fi

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. 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.

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 make it relevant and help him retain the concepts involved. I like to interject humor and kidding and self deprecating comments to let the person know that he/she is not the only one having problems so the student doesn't feel devastated and hopeless. I like to reinforce the positive learning curve and support positive strides in learning and progress. 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

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 into tutoring. I want to offer students a safe environment where they do not feel embarrassed to make mistakes and ask questions. Patience and encouragement are the keys to helping students succeed. 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 prog

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. During a temporary tenure with the Nellis Air Force Base, Education Office, I had the opportunity to teach a Study Skills course for Airmen preparing for their Military Exams. As a single parent of 3 teens, teaching, tutoring and study skills was and still is a daily activity. I have many nieces and nephews whom I help out as well. I also have many bilingual associates whom I assist with writing assignments on their treck to learning the English language.
