Musical Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in The Lakes, NV

I enjoy teaching and utilize several different types of styles to keep students interested and desirous of learning. I provide thought provoking questions which require more than a simple yes or no answer. I envoke lecture as little as required to get across the point, but prefer demonstration or class participation. I utilize small groups so that students learn to interact with others. I have been teaching at the post-secondary level for 3 years. Prior to that time I taught classes in Emergency Medical Technician and Cardio-pulmonary Life Support to military Doctors, nurses and medical techinicians. I have been able to develop a great rapport with my students and offer special one-on-one attention when needed to ensure the required knowledge is gained. I have assisted students with medical laboratory procedures requiring unique individual instruction.

My teaching style is one of non-confrontational teaching. I have had professors who did that, and it only serves to put the student on edge and not lend itself to learning. I prefer to find out what the pupil is having trouble with and then see if I can find an interest in the concept for the student to make it relevant and help him retain the concepts involved. I like to interject humor and kidding and self deprecating comments to let the person know that he/she is not the only one having problems so the student doesn't feel devastated and hopeless. I like to reinforce the positive learning curve and support positive strides in learning and progress. As a retired Osteopath I realize the value of education and the problems that we all have in learning,. I have a B.A. in Chemistry and recall some of the problems I had learning some of the principles of the discipline and I would hope that

I have earned an AA in Travel Management; a BA in Business; and an MBA in Human Resources. The knowledge I've gained through higher education is that education is continuous. It does not end when the last research paper or essay is submitted. During a temporary tenure with the Nellis Air Force Base, Education Office, I had the opportunity to teach a Study Skills course for Airmen preparing for their Military Exams. As a single parent of 3 teens, teaching, tutoring and study skills was and still is a daily activity. I have many nieces and nephews whom I help out as well. I also have many bilingual associates whom I assist with writing assignments on their treck to learning the English language. I enjoy reading to children and helping them understand as well as enjoy the words. The proud faces they wear is a priceless reward, to the knowledge that they have accomplished learn

There are many teaching methods that stand behind my philosophy. I believe that remaining aware of the different ways in which children learn, and taking those learning styles into consideration throughout my lesson planning and delivery, is of great importance. The classroom environment is also very important. A healthy learning environment, where both my students and I can take risks, make mistakes and learn from one another, is key. My philosophy of education will keep on evolving as I gain teaching experience. I will add some new goals and revise others. Even as my philosophy undergoes change, I believe that my main goal will remain the same. My mission is to motivate students to become life-long learners, and help them acquire skills that will enable them to pursue independent learning. Throughout college, I completed two field experiences followed by my student teaching experien

As an Honors graduate of Boston with special emphasis in Music Composition, and a Graduate Teaching Fellow at The University of Chicago, I have both seen, and worked with the best in my field. While not having pursued a teaching certification, I have learned from the best in my field, from professionals who also showed the value of both teaching and mentoring. It has been, and continues to be an inspiration to me. While I've pursued a professional career in Marketing and Communications, I have used and continue to wish to better leverage my experience in music as a teacher and mentor. I have enjoyed three teaching/performance experiences most in my career: working with children, with challenged individuals of any age, and with the very old. I have an easy-going style that students of any age have always appreciated. I teach through discovery rather than basing learning on establish

As the 7th Grade English and reading teacher at Robison Middle School, test scores on the state-mandated proficiency exam improved by 24%. After one year of service, I was asked to be the Chair of the Reading department. As the instructor for Read 180, I developed students' reading abilities who were far below school and district standards. Using a set curriculum based on computer, large group and small group discussion, I balanced classwork and themed topics to assist students in overcoming reading difficulties. I employ a number of different tactics while teaching. My main focus is using open-ended questions which help students understand not only what the correct answer is, but also why the answer is correct. I am focus-driven and work to set objectives. I will focus on an objective until it is understood completely. I have a strong ability to relate concepts into real-life situat

I am well rounded in most subjects, I play several instuments and sing. I am an excellent mechanic, plumber, household electrician, and carpenter. I am warm hearted and fun loving and I enjoy working and being energized by the youthful spirit. I have been teaching music for over 30 years but found out 5 years ago I have a great deal to offer as an academic tutor. My first belief is that you have to make a student believe in themselve. You do this by letting them know that the system has failed them, but together we can bridge the gap of what you need now to get your grades caught up and work backwards to learn what you have missed.

My interest in becoming a tutor stems from my life long passion for teaching and learning. Throughout the past eight years, I have focused my efforts on soaking up my education and research experiences across many subdivisions in the field of Psychology. My education ranges from expertise in Social Psychology to Cognitive Neuroscience, however is not limited to these domains. While working toward my graduate degree I was involved in analyzing vast amounts of data, writing scientific manuscripts, and general laboratory management. In addition to this, I also taught a weekly seminar for undergraduates that worked in my laboratory and tutored them throughout the week in how to learn and implement various research techniques. Thus, throughout my education and research experience I have developed superior skills in mathematics, writing, and communication that are critical to being an excellen

I get a thrill from experiencing a student achieving the Ah-ha! moment of learning. I employ multiple modalities of teaching, since most students have multiple modalities of learning. My goal is to facilitate my students to become independent learners. I employ Socratic teaching methods. I don't give answers. That's too easy. I have found that students retain learning when they work through the solution. I offer students skills to ask questions about their world. I am fortunate to have multiple intelligence. Since an early age, I have been motivated to increase my knowledge base and skill levels. My desires have motivated me to earn a double majored BS in agriculture, an applied science, and a MS in biology. I taught laboratory classes while I was a student.

My four-year venture throughout college has opened my eyes to the world around us more than I could have expected. It has allowed me to become a more efficient communicator with various types of people. I have been involved with children on several occasions throughout my life, though I haven't had 'official' teaching experience. In college I was involved with SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) which is a community service based project centered around teaching and helping children. I was also a Mad Science instructor for kids in summer school, and a coach of a children's hockey team. Youngsters come in all different shapes and sizes, as well as different brain patterns. Being able to communicate and level with children is imperative in a teaching environment. My teaching style would be one of which that is goal-oriented, organized, and clear.

I also help in the development of new programs using the Clark County Curriculum Essential Framework. My position also requires me to use research skills and time management skills. I have also interned at two other museums as an educator. Children are amazing how much information they can learn, but often children need to be presented with different methods of learning and teaching.
