My comments on tutoring Musical : 20 years playing and performance experience. Over 10 years teaching experience. Can teach all brass (trumpet, trombone, French horn, baritone/euphonium, tuba) as well as theory and composition.

I have over 20 years' playing and performance experience. While I am no longer an active performer on trumpet, I have over 10 years' teaching experience. In addition to performing well in their school bands, my students have received "Excellent" ratings in Solo & Ensemble competitions and have performed with MTSBOA All-County and Mid-State Honor Bands.
I believe in tailoring each lesson to each student's individual abilities and learning methods. For students in school bands, I try to provide lessons that augment and complement what they learn in band class, focusing on areas of performance that may not receive attention in a group setting. For all my students, regardless of level or instrument, I help them learn music that they want to learn, while making sure they get the fundamental training that they need. I encourage and assist my students in finding opportunities to perform ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Family & friends have expressed to me that my open-mindedness & clever & creative nature allow me to have an almost sixth sense-like intuition. Through the NCLB program, I put this theory to the test, & to be perfectly honest, I feel as if I lived up to this supposed “inherent capacity” to touch & better the lives of underprivileged, neglected, inner-city youth. As an educational activist, I REALLY, REALLY try to get & know each child on an individual basis. I want the child to become comfortable with me in their immediate environment: if a child cannot trust, respect, & admire his or her educator as a mentor, how can we truly expect the child to take his or her education seriously? Can we expect a progressive future if our children’s latent potential is never tapped into, & only remains dormant? I’m here to make that possibility less likely.
From an early age, growing up in a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored many years in Calif., but have not done so since arriving in Madison, TN. I have Canadian credentials, but the JD enabled me to quickly acquire a college position in Nashville. I taught English, which is my major from the University of Western Ontario, Canada. I know I am an excellent tutor, having taken several children from D's & F's to B's and A's. I have a reputation for being a lot of fun, as I play both guitar and piano and am quick to arrange little ditties to help kids remember rules - especially grammar and punctuation.
I am a fun teacher and enjoy tricking students into learning. I have developed games, songs, and various devices which attract attention and result in learning, regardless of whether the student even notices. I have a knack for revising sentences or instructions to captivate attention which encourages the student to answer or start writ ... read more

I have loved teaching and working with children and youth all my life. I worked for 4 years at Easter Seal Camp, helping with people of special needs; The YMCA, as day camp counselor, and upon entering into the ministry felt that I have been teaching children, youth, and adults for the past 40+ years. My goal is to help a person discover their gifts and potential and then help them move forward in their learning and living so they can make a contribution to society. Every experience can become a positive learning experience.
Upon completing a BS in Education (Dual Certification), I decided to go on for a MDiv in Theology. I was ordained a minister, and thus spent 40+ years teaching, counseling,and preaching. I feel that I have dedicated my whole life to teaching others. I am committed not only to religion, but enjoy teaching basic living and social skills. My wife and I have ... read more

I love to work with children because it allows me to use my creativity. I tend to use a more kinesethic, hands-on approach in my teaching. I believe that when children are able to have the subject matter displayed to them in a 3D format, they are able to comprehend it's use in the real world. It also keeps their attention span active. For example, once when working on fractions with a student I brought in playdoh that we shaped into a pie. The child was able to create the fractions with their hands and was excited about taking pieces away and counting what was left in the pie. For me, the experience of seeing a child's eyes light up when they are finally able to comprehend something is very rewarding.
I have always had a passion for educating children. I attended two different colleges and I value the experience and skills provided by both institutions. I spent two years at the U ... read more

My father had a piano rebuilding shop and I worked for him begining at age 12, in every aspect of piano rebuilding, regulating and tuning. Do I need to say more? Over 40 years of working on pianos is more than most piano tuners have. I don't use tuning machines, God already gave me 2 on each side of my head that work much better. I could write a long paragraph of blah blah trying to impress you but over 40 years of pianos says it all.
I have been a professional musician since 1978, teaching other musicians theory, performance etc. What can I say? I grew up in a music store! I've taught guitar, bass guitar, piano, drums and piano technology. Most of my students are now professional musicians. I don't use any techniques out of any book, each person is different and their needs are also.

It's important to me to be part of the development in a child's education because once they are equipped with the skills I can teach them, they will find life in the real world easier. I believe that all children are capable of reaching the very highest level of competency, and that patience, understanding, and a meticulous hands-on explanation of material is the best way to teach a child new knowledge. I strive to provide that experience for all students and children I come into contact with.
As a student in a system that strives for educational excellence, with a special focus on English and composition, I am quite adept at teaching the skills required for writing both as an extra curricular activity, and as a discipline. I took classes in high school education at CSU Sacramento, while I was working toward my bachelor's in English. I spent over 120 hours sitting in on elementa ... read more

My teaching style is based upon respect for the teacher and the children. I try to approach teaching not only as a key learning tool, but also how education affects our daily lives. My favorite approach is to connect whatever subject I'm teaching to current events. By doing this, I see that students understand the subject matter better. Also, I believe in discussing the material in a discussion type setting where everyone's opinion is heard, and the students can relate to the subject matter.
My experience as a teacher has been a life long passion. I was an early childhood education teacher for three years and taught the full gammet of subjects from mathematics, english, social studies, and so on. Not only that, I taught students from K-8 for the Metro-Nashville Public Schools in all subjects. My experience goes even further. As a Vacation Bible School teacher for three years at my ... read more

My style of teaching is one that strives to bring an overall understanding of the importance and relevance of the subject at hand. I believe children, as well as all people, learn much better and have much greater retention when they understand the bigger picture involved and understand why it is important to learn the subject at hand. I believe in relating the topics to something the pupil can understand and therefore grasp. One of my greatest teachers was a chemistry professor who was able to explain a complicated chemistry concept in terms of a McDonald's Happy Meal. It was something we all could relate to and understand. Furthermore, if I can relate why learning the particular topic is important, then I believe the child will become excited and be much more apt to retain and retell the information to others. That is my ultimate goal; I want to get children of all ages excited a ... read more

It has been said that no one rises to low expectations. I believe that every child CAN learn, but that the process of teaching each child must vary depending on their learning style. Tutoring gives teachers the unique advantage of having students one on one, and allows us to truly discover what methods work best for those students.
I have been teaching and tutoring students of all ages for the last ten years. Having graduated with a BA in English, I have learned much about writing and the writing process that I believe could help students at all levels. I have tutored students in English, reading, science, social studies, math, music, and French.

Because I have an extensive background in Psychology, I have a strong understanding of the learning process, as well as many other factors that affect it. I focus on each individual child's strengths and use that to bring their weaknesses up to a higher level. Through patience and encouragement, I believe that most children can experience dramatic improvements in their abilities. I am able to explain complex ideas clearly, in simple terms that are understandable. Then I expand on what the child already understands until they have mastered the more advanced concepts. I greatly enjoy the excitement, challenge, and reward of enriching a child's life through education.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Southern Illinois University. This gives me a broad knowledge base in many educational arenas. I have tutoring experience with the program "Second Chance Saturdays" fo ... read more

My college education was very self driven and self propelled. I received three academic scholarships throughout my college career and maintained a 3.84 GPA for the entire four years. At the close of my four years, I earned a BS is History, giving me a particularly good foundation in the humanities and English composition. I did hundreds of pages of research writing in my major, and maintained a very high level of excellence in all subjects, proving proficiency and diligence. I carried this knowledge and self-discipline over to tutoring young people, particularly young people with learning disabilities. I have tutored students in Mathematics, English, the arts, Science, and social sciences.
Teaching is a very holistic activity. I spent the last year and a half working with at-risk kids in a wilderness setting as a Counselor/Teacher. Essentially, I had 8-10 home-schooled children und ... read more

For the majority of my life, I have been working with and or around early elementary age children. I feel that I am best suited for this age group, as I enjoy watching them learn/discover new things. I earned my bachelor degree, a BS in Early Childhood Education and a minor in music. I have been a pre-kindergarten teacher, as well as worked in a public school setting, and been a substitute in several private schools as well. My certification is pre-k through grade 6.
