After 8 years teaching elementary music in the Southern York School District I taught piano, organ, and flute lessons from my home studio. I was choir director and organist at Church of the Cross, Carlisle. Also, it was my responsibility to plan music for the services. I planned a variety of music for worship, organ pieces, piano pieces, or organ/piano duets. I am using the Alfred adult course for adults and Schaum Making Music Method along with Bastien Piano Basics for the children.

I have trained students in a laboratory, restaurant and in the home. I graduated from college with honors and have succeeded in statistics, algebra 2, calculus 1, biology 1, chemistry 1, English literature, professional writing, civics, sketching/painting and classical guitar It's imperative to listen and understand a students challenges. Reviewing their previous work and giving a current test is a good indicator of the situation. I believe in practice and examples as the clearest path to success. I don't hand deliver answers and I make the process towards answers engaging. I make sure the time and place are conducive to active and non-distractive learning. I relay the importance and relevance of the material. I recap previous lessons and try to integrate them into current assignments. I always value and respect people and expect the same of my students.

I am a highly motivated and organized teacher with a passion for teaching students of all ages. I recently worked as a long term music substitute at Hamburg Area High school in Hamburg, Pa. There I taught beginner guitar, chorus, piano and coached the drama club. This past summer I taught remedial reading during the summer school session at Hamburg. I have tutoring experience in Reading, Math, and elementary science. As a college student, I worked as a tutor. I taught music theory, sight singing, elementary science, math, and reading. I now am a substitute teacher and am teaching a variety of subjects daily. All students deserve the opportunity to learn. I am a highly motivated teacher who wants to see all students succeed. I am very patient and believe that there are many different ways to learn. It is my job to find out which way your child learns best. I love a challenge and loo

I graduated from high school as number eleven in rank out of 248. I often assisted other students in both high school and college. Later, as a homeschooling mother of four, I taught all of my children all subjects through the eighth grade level. I just returned from the island of Saipan, where I taught high school English in a private school, and seventh grade English in a public school. I presently am a certified substitute teacher in the Cumberland County, PA, public school system, where I teach almost all grade levels and subjects. I far prefer private tutoring over formal teaching, as I believe my abilities are put to their greatest use in that setting. I absolutely love working with students one-on-one. It's what I do best. Because of my experience in teaching my own children, I have discovered that no child is too young to learn. Often people will not consider an infant or toddler

As a teacher there is nothing more rewarding than the look on a child's face when a skill is mastered or a mystery becomes an understood concept. This is what attracted me to the field of education and what has kept me here. I am also fully aware that each student does not reach this level of mastery by following the same path. I believe one of my greatest strengths as a teacher is to be able to change this path for each student. I am aware of the different ways children learn, and seek to incorporate examples of these learning styles into each lesson. I also know it is important to keep the learning at a level that ensures success to foster confidence while providing enough of a challenge to keep the student's interest. I have 14 years experience in elementary education, specifically teaching 2nd and 4th grades and kindergarten. I have 15 years experience in higher education administrat

School is my passion and my goal is to help students reach their maximum potential. It has been my experience that students often dislike subjects in which they do not excel. It is my goal to help students overcome their learning challenges and find the same passion I do in education. I am patient, considerate, and have a sense of humor. I have found great success in performing an interactive activity which determines that method a student learns best (auditory, visual, etc) before starting to tutor. I have been blessed with many considerate professors who have helped me through my college career and I look forward to helping others. I am currently an undergraduate student enrolled at Harrisburg University. I will be graduating in December 2010 with a BS in Biotechnology. I have extensive composition skills which I have acquired through writing research papers, laboratory reports, and es

Teaching is a gift I have loved expressing my whole life. I enjoy motivating children to express themselves and to learn. I explore what motivates the child to want to play and make that the reward for hard work. I am a positive role model and enjoy encouraging children in all aspects of their lives. I want their musical experience to follow them for the rest of their lives not just the years they are taking lessons. Private piano and organ teacher from 1976 to 1988. Taught lessons at Ralon Music Store and home studio. Age range of students was from 7 year old to adults. Had each student participate in two annual recitals and the National Guild of Piano Teachers Guild annually. Each student took a 30 minute private lesson weekly and performed at monthly workshops to enhance theory and performance skills. I have taken private lessons both classical and jazz improvisation. I was

I like to incorporate a sense of humor in my teaching - I believe when children can relax they are much more open to learning. I am also sensitive to children's different learning styles whether they are visual, auditory or kinesthetic, and tailor my approach accordingly. No two sessions are ever the same! Each student has unique needs and challenges and my job is to work "through the maze" and carry the message to the brain. I try to use practical and relevant examples whenever I can and appeal to the student's personal frame of reference so the goal of really "learning" versus "memorizing" can be met. I have been a substitute teacher for the past two years covering all grade levels from pre-k three up to senior year in high school. I am a Master's Degree candidate in Elementary Education at Wilmington University. I enjoy students at every level and am amazed at what a difference a year

Tutors and Educators can provide the tools for success; its the student who actually makes the achievement and/or goal - whether pursuing college, a career, or avocation. Being creative and pragmatic in one's education and tutoring can provide more enrichment than the textbooks and classroom materials.

I began Tutoring at Back-to-Basics Learning Dynamics in 2003; courses ranged from College Level Probability & Statistics, High School Algebra and Pre-Calculus, Science, Psychology, to English and World Cultures.
