Piano Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in New Liberty, KY

I enjoy teaching and working with all children. Not all of us can be the “Star Athlete”, but we can all learn the rules of the game. All children can learn. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. I have found that most students that are having difficulty can be put back on track by a teacher willing to take the time to find the problem. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I believe all children deserve to reach their potential and they can if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning opportunities. A good education can make a world of difference in a child's life. I strive to give all of my students' the tools they need to succeed in life. As a Purdue graduate, I was the recipient of the highest level of instruction in math and science. As an undergraduate I was named on the Dean’s list s

In May 1997, I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Lake Superior State University with a major in English Language and Literature and a minor in French Language and Literature. In May 1998, I graduated from Michigan State University with a Michigan Provisional Teaching Certificate in Secondary Education. My experiences as a technical writer, web designer, and writing tutor have been invaluable and have strengthened my skills both as a writer and as a teacher of writing. In addition, I have taught French for one year in an urban school district, volleyball for four years, and private piano lessons for over ten years, affording me the opportunity to expand my repertoire of teaching modalities. Throughout my career, from tutor to high school teacher to entrepreneur, I have learned how to effectively convey new material to students in many ways (based on Howard Gardner’s multiple intell

As an English major, I spent all 4 years at my private instutition tutoring my fellow students, not only in English and writing courses, but in all academic classes in which I had received a grade of "A" or "B". 3 of my 4 years at Lindsey Wilson were spent in the Education department, as I originally wanted to be a high school English teacher. I also spent several summers as a Camp Counselor, working with children aged 7-15 as well. I like to determine my teaching style by first evaluating a child's current progress and learning style. Learning is a very individualized process, therefore, teaching must also be individual. I am a relaxed person, and I like to find a way to relate material to a child in a way that he/she will not only understand, but retain. Flash cards are great for some children, and other children will learn better with a pneumonic device, while still other learners

In 1984 and 1985, I taught for two years in the Lebanon, OH, Christian School, grades 4,5, & 6. For the past 10 years I have been teaching in the Weekend Degree Program at Xavier University, Cincinnati, OH. I am an adjunct professor in the Theology Department and teach Theological Foundations to non-traditional students. Besides teaching principles of faith and religion and world religions, I emphasize the art of dialogue as a way to communicate and to interact with others - actually, as a lifestyle. I simply ADORE teaching, either children or adults. The 4th, 5th & 6th graders I taught in Lebanon Christian school loved and learned from me. I was successful in making their learning material interesting and learnable. The class I teach at XU is one of the most popular classes in the Weekend Degree Program. As I said above, I emphasize the art of dialogue, which includes above a

Gaining and sharing knowledge has been a driving force throughout my life. Literacy is one of the greatest gifts we can give to our children. Having taught grade levels from preschool to adulthood, I know that everyone learns in their own unique manner and at their own time. My experiences span not only various age groups but different subjects as well,including math, algebra, biology, history, literature, Spanish, grammar, reading/phonics, study skills, and beginning dance. I have taught in the classroom for 11 years and tutored for over 20 years. I match my teaching style to the learning style of each individual. My first session with the student is when I can determine whether their learning style is visual, audial, tactile, kinesthetic or a combination of these. I then write a prescription of study with the student that include several objectives and a timeline to achieve these g

I would make a great tutor because I am still a student myself. I am in my last semester of law school and hold a BA in English. I have been a student my entire adult life and have a good grasp on many subjects. I am very down to earth and friendly and love working with children of all ages. I am not fluent in French but took a lot of French in high school and college. Also, I am a very good writer and have excellent grammar skills. I am very down to earth and like to take things seriously. I think most people respond the best to positive reinforcement; however, I know how to be serious. I am very good at explaining things because I like to have things explained to me in detail. I am very professional and polite and am good at making people feel comfortable around me. For me, education is very important and it is important to stay on top of the game. In order to do this you nee

I have a masters degree in psychology, specializing in child development. During my undergraduate studies, I minored in music and English. In recent years, I have taught music and English to both children and adults. I also have a great deal in knowledge in other subject areas, like history, religion, and even a little Spanish. Very simply, I believe that an instructor should be a facilitator of the learning process, not a dictator. The best learning is that which is done by the student him/herself through experiencing and seeing things firsthand. I strive to get to know my students and make my tutoring sessions unique and tailored to fit each individual student's needs.

Having worked in supplemental education for quite some time, I have learned to hone in on the unique understanding of each individual student's needs. I enyoy working with adults as well as children, diagnosing the fundamental needs and moving forward at each individual student's pace. My teaching style differs somewhat based on the student I am working with. An energetic, confidence-boosting style is the approach that I prefer, but I also understand that you must build rapport with your students to be able to do that. My students are very comfortable working with me, and I encourage and draw questions out of even the most timid student. In January of 2009, I moved back to the United States after living in Dusseldorf, Germany for four years. While living there, I continued my vocal studies and perfected my teaching style.

As a student in a four year college, I have applied myself to every singe subject that there was to conquer. In some areas I shined, but it some areas I had difficulties. But at the end of the day I was learning from the best and took in all that I could, in order to continue my education, pass on the knowledge to my future children, and finally use education as a source to progress in our civilization. During my college years I was able to participate in study groups and help out fellow students in some subjects, (if they had difficulties understanding). College courses such as Writing, Reading, Art, Music, Business, Science, and Math gave me a well rounded educational experience and development as a student. I am firm believer in dynamic education, where each student is considered individually from every single point of stand. Each child/student is unique, and because of that he/she

As a parent of middle school students, I understand the importance of motivating students by using real world examples and providing hands-on experiences. I enjoy working one-one-one with students, learning their strengths, and using those to have fun and make meaningful progress on the curriculum. Because of my professional background, I believe in basing study on solid principles such as methodology, repetition, and use of the scientific method to help the student retain the concepts in the long term. I especially hope to be a role model to students and share the joy of working in a technical field. I earned my mechanical engineering degree from The Ohio State University and worked as an engineer and a manager in a scientific field for over 20 years before starting my own business in information research.
