Musical Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mequon, WI

As a student I enjoyed most the teachers who facilitated learning. Teachers who lead students on a road of discovery as they learned, who taught me how to think and not what to think. I model my teaching after the same style I enjoyed as a student. Helping a student discover for themselves the material not only educates them but fosters a passion for the subject at hand. Rote memory has it's place and is essential, but when a student becomes passionate about a subject, then the door is open for them to excel at it. I teach and tutor with the goal in mind to foster that passion, that drive and to be able to carry it throughout a life of learning. I was an exceptionally driven high school student, taking the most difficult schedule my small private school would offer. My course work included AP calculus and AP US government, on both exams I received good marks. In college I studied

Free and unconstrained autobiographical writing is one of the best ways to coax a student insecure about his or her writing skills into putting into words intense experiences from their own life. I tell my students to just tell me in their own words what they are trying to say. When they speak aloud, the words flow, and then I say, "There is your opening sentence right there. Quick! Write it down." At other times, I ask them to pretend that they are really someone else, an actor in a television show, for example, and I have them imagine that the character, not they themselves, are speaking. This releases the student to let go of inhibitions and let the film roll "for the character" and then they stop focusing on themselves. As a lifelong lover of literature and writing, I have taught students from fifth grade through junior level college literature and writing courses. My MA and PhD degr

I am just currently finishing a BS in Biology at Mount Mary College, with a 4.0 GPA. I have had experience tutoring students in the English language for about a year and a half through a service learning program at Milwaukee Acheivers held in conjunction with my school. Although I do not have any formal experience with tutoring in Biology I have often played an integral part in group student learning, and have helped many of my fellow classmates understand material. I also have extensive experience with writing lab reports and research papers as well as experience with fine arts (my minor,) and some graphic design. I enjoy knowing that with my help a student could be able to feel better about what they are learning in their classes. I take great satisfaction in working through a tough problem and seeing the light of understanding in a student's eyes. I aim to feel more like a friend to

I pursued a double-major in piano performance and biology during college years. Even though the academic work load was extremely overwhelming, I taught tutoring sessions to other college students simply because I loved making difference in other people's lives. Due to studying piano for over 20 years, I developed a certain dedication that one should have in order to succeed in academia, and I wanted to share that with other students. I have spent many tutoring hours with high school students that are experiencing difficulties in Science and Math. I worked with college athletes that struggled to find time to study due to their busy schedule of practicing and going to school. With college students, I focused on Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Physiology. My teaching background is mainly based on teaching piano to all age groups for the past 7 years. Teaching music to someone has required

I have successfully completed the CPA Examination. I have a degree in Business Administration from the University of Texas and have completed the Advanced Accounting needed to qualify for the CPA Examination. When employed as a manager of a private trust company, I effectively managed $150 million of assets for client accounts. As the Manager I was very active in the design and implementation of policies and procedures, as well as training and supervising the various accounting functions. This job experience as well as my recent educational endeavor as a CPA Exam Candidate, has made me a valuable and effective communicator when placed in a teaching environment. My experience and educational accomplishments enable me to be an effective teacher. This recent accomplishment gives me the ability to teach in an academic environment and also to apply my recent experience in test taking

I enjoy teaching people subjects that I understand. My preferred subjects to teach would be anything math, finance and accounting related. My teaching style is similar to coaching; I use positive reinforcement, motivate and lead by example. I look forward to any challenge and helping individuals succeed. I graduated from high school in 2003 with honors and graduated in 2007 from the University of Wisconsin La Crosse. Throughout my schooling I have attended multiple classes in reading/writing, science, history, computer/I.T., foreign language, creative arts, business and math. For two years I was involved with the Big Brother program where I worked with an autistic student. I’m currently employed at US Bank where I work as a mutual fund analyst. I’m also on the training committee at US Bank where I’ve been gaining real world experience helping others.

Just recently, I worked with students in New Berlin, WI as part of the Junior Achivement program. While in High School and College, I worked with students in Madison at Whitehorse Middle School on Video Editing, PC Repair, Postmodernism, and Music. I have extensive skills in writing, grammar, spelling, public speaking, and knowledge in and of government--state and national/federal, specifically the Presidency. I love teaching children and being able to see them learn. It is awesome to see and hear when they finally "get it" or when they understand something that I taught them. Moreover, when a student gives you an answer to a question and uses an example of something that you taught them earlier, it really shows you how quickly they can pick things up. My teaching "style" is very open--I will have an outline and while I am presenting I will sometimes ask for examples from the students to
