Guitar Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Osseo, MN

Jazz, Blues, and Rock; specialize in rhythm guitar I specialize in understanding individual challenges and struggles and adapting my teaching and providing clarifying examples. My explanations are thorough and enhanced by my focus on listening to people. I'm currently a student at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota and I've covered many subjects in my 15 years of education. I've learned many of them well enough to teach them to my younger sister, who has ensured I review every subject two years after I complete it, rather than forget it forever. I have also helped many of my classmates understand various concepts as we learned them, which allowed me to improve my own understanding and my ability to explain things in ways that differed from the ways that didn't work coming from teachers.

I've played acoustic guitar for 15 years. I have performed solo and in a band in many small live events, from dramatic plays to weddings to music festivals. Primarily I play folk/bluegrass music, but have experience playing blues as well. Teaching is limited to basic instruction. I received my B.S. degree in Biology, and am knowledgeable about many sub-disciplines, including life sciences (plants/animals), genetics, evolution, and anatomy. I am generally able to explain difficult biological concepts in a more conversational way. I've worked with high school youth in the past (approx. 2 years experience) in a crew structure teaching job skills (resume writing, interviewing, etc.) and basic biological/ecological principles. I have worked with family and friends to teach basic personal finance and resume-writing tips to help them achieve great results. I am primarily an environmental consul

I love mentoring and working with musicians of all ages. I believe all people can grow musically, but each in different ways. My encouraging attitude can help students achieve musical and academic success. I am patient, easy going, considerate and sensitive to the artistic temperament. My goal is to provide the best education possible at whatever level desired. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructive approach to learning. I believe all students can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education, and I strive to make that difference happen in all of my students' lives. As a classically trained musician with a BA in theory and composition, and a Masters in conducting, I have a high degree of diverse expertise to offer all

I am in the Education field to make a difference in student’s lives. I hope to do this through instruction and example. I believe these two elements intertwined and essential for any educator. I am value the “Teacher as facilitator” education model. Today, I classify my teaching style as a constructivist theory with humanist elements. I believe that a combination of these three models will ensure the greatest amount of learning for students as I prepare them for further education. In my experience, working with at-risk, failing, or youth in general requires a level of acceptance from the student. Educators cannot reach that level if they talk down to their students. I feel I am able to bridge that gap and reach students on a personal level. I will graduate from the College of Saint John’s University this spring with a major in English Education. Classes I have taken at CSB/SJU include ex

I've been a musician for 30 years, recording, performing, touring, producing and composing. The City Pages chose me as it's 'Jazz Musician of The Year' in 2004 and I have been awarded McKnight and Jerome fellowships. I did not start playing the saxophone (my main instrument) until my 21st birthday. I then practiced a lot and have a very clear idea of how to learn and teach. I love teaching and working with anyone who wants to learn to play and instrument or any aspect of music especially kids. While helping them learn it is important to let then have fun, challenge them just enough for them to make consistent progress and encourage them to join ensembles or even start a band on their own.

I love conveying knowledge to other people. I have been teaching Math and English for high school children for two years. While working at IT Department, I was delegated to train new student workers on the University policies, procedures and progresses. I like to use simple but effective language to express any complicated ideas. I have graduated from Metropolitan State University with a bachelor's degree in Finance. I used to work as an on-site property manager at Golden Globe Apartment Company in Vietnam for 8 months. I had chances to communicate with valuable foreigner customers, as well as accommodate their stay to my best. I worked in IT Department for more than 2 years. This experience gave me an opportunity to gain important skills in handling numerous administrative duties, to develop customer service and relation backgrounds, and to learn new software applications which are

I believe all students can learn and use my training and experience to adapt my teaching strategies to individual learning styles. Using student interests can help direct teaching that improves students’ enjoyment of learning. For instance, when teaching reading to boys I have found that they often like to read more factual reading material about sports, science, history, mechanics, etc. Student interests change as they get older and reading material needs to be age appropriate. Students thrive on positive re-enforcements, but the best motivation is personal success. Finding ways for students to feel needed and appreciated, helps to find learning more relevant and worthwhile. I have been teaching for over twenty years, primarily Middle School Language Arts. I have also taught Head Start, fourth grade, third through eighth grade science, and kindergarten through eighth grade music.

As an educator in the school district I have multiple areas of experience that include academics in math, science and reading. I also have experience in dealing with multiple levels of reading levels that are conducive to cognitive, behavioral, or emotional problems that prevent optimal learning to occur and have utilized mant techniques to help students achieve their individual goals. During my education I have learned multiple learning strategies that can be used to help individualize each student's progress. Working with children is my passion. I beleive that alll children deserve the tools necessary to be successful in academic and personal growth in order to be successful in the path that is chosen for themselves. I believe that with the right tools each student is capable of fullfilling individual success. I believe that over the years I have touched many students lives to hel

English and education have been a passion of mine for my entire life. My undergraduate experience at the University of Minnesota Morris exacerbated this characteristic. While at U of M Morris I lead several study groups as well as copy-edited for the University newspaper. Grammar, nonfiction writing as well as critical analysis of literature are my strongest talents. As a fresh graduate I feel the need to be a part of academia. Tutoring is the perfect opportunity for me to strengthen my abilities while simultaneously helping students achieve success. My goal is to be a college professor and tutoring is the first stepping stone. Being able to help students reach their full potential is my passion and my goal in life.
