Percussion Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Saint Augustine, FL

I love teaching and working with young minds. I believe anyone can learn and meet his or her potential if he or she is given the opportunity. I am patient, easy going, and considerate to the needs of the learner. I hope to make a difference in a student's life and I am available to help you find academic success. As a graduate of Southwestern College, I was very much driven by a high level of excellence in education. While on active duty in the military, I completed my BS in Human Resource Development and I received Magna Cum Laude honors. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and reports in various areas of study. During the last eight years of my military career I have counseled Sailors in pursuing a college education and tutored several of these same Sailors in English and mathematics.

I am a graduate of Western Carolina University, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Education for the field of instrumental music. I have experience with teaching at two middle schools and one high school as a part of my student teaching assignment. Also, I have 5 years experience teaching marching band at several high schools as an adjunct staff member teaching music and marching fundamentals. I also have acquired a great deal of experience in general English, grammar, and writing through my advance placement courses in high school, as well as the research papers and reports required for my music history, as well as my education courses. I have given private lessons for brass and general music for the last 6 years. I believe teaching is as much about the experience of learning as it is about the subject matter that is being taught. Not every student learns in the same way, or at

Each child is different. I always try to notice and acknowledge what benefits each student, as I think this applies to all forms of teaching from academics to athletics. Getting on their level is what ultimately benefits the child from the get go and gains their interest. If I'm interested, then the child is interested. I do my best to make sure the child is setting their goals and doing their best to achieve them in the way and style for which they are best suited. I have two bachelors degrees, however, I believe it is my experience teaching children that has helped me develop a good sense on how to approaching teaching scenarios. I have years of experience teaching children in academics, music, and dramatic arts, as well as coaching basketball and teaching golf at the professional level.

My one and only passion has always been children. I strongly believe that every child should be respected and given an equal opportunity for success. In my experience, most children learn best through hands-on learning opportunities. Paper-and-pencil work has its place, however, I find it's important to provide other methods of teaching that cater to different types of learners such as kinesthetic and auditory learners. I also believe that children respond best to adults who have taken the time to connect with and show respect for them. And, most importantly, I believe learning should be enjoyable. As both a tutor and a parent, I take a firm, but fun approach to education. I have both the educational credentials as well as the work experience to be an effective tutor. As a professional, I have experience working in both the education and social work fields. This has given me a u

Patience is, without a doubt, my biggest virtue. Taking art lessons can be intimidating, especially for an unsure student. With my experience, I have been able to identify the measures to instruct my students while keeping them comfortable in a positive environment. My goal for every lesson is to have my students leave confident and with a sense of understanding and resolution. Having grown up with tremendous support, I have been able to pursue my career in art and art education with focus and determination. After receiving my Bachelor's degree in Painting from the University of Florida, I found my way into the Duval County Public School System. Though my position was surplussed only two years later, I was able the witness the great need for an art outlet in children. I focused my attention towards the city parks and recreation system, where I have been teaching home school, after
