Robert O - Seaford, DE 19973 (24.8 mi) - Piano Tutor - $41.00/hr.
I have been involved with youth since completing Bible College in 1978. I have two grown children who both completed college (my daughter cum laud in chem; University of Kentucky). I also have two step children; ages 12 and 10. I have been a qualified substitute teacher for the last 4 years, so have a working knowledge of state standards for all subjects; especially math. My "ace in the hole" in teaching is the fact that I care for students and they know it. I do make it well known that I am there to teach; not be their friend (or their parent!). I typically set the limits, introduce the lesson, focus on learning the content, and be attentive to individual needs. Assessment is done through answering and asking questions. Also, reviewing and an extended assighnment is used to reinforce learning. My overall goal as a teacher is to guide a student to be an independent learner and t

Sheila C - Newark, DE 19702 (35.9 mi) - Piano Tutor - $37.00/hr.
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

Jean R - Monroeville, NJ 08343 (38.9 mi) - Piano Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I have taught both regular and special education, early childhood, speech/language correction, and elementary Spanish, before moving into supervisor, principal and, finally, superintendent positions in public schools in southern NJ. As an administrator, I have mentored teachers, given workshops, and focused on the best professional development possible. Early reading, writing, and math skills are my passion, although I have taught students from 4-18 years of age. I love working with children and have continued to find ways to instruct even during my time as an adminstrator. I am fully trained and certified in Orton-Gillingham techniques to help children and adults with dyslexia. I enjoy helping my students discover connections as they learn, and use engaging, hands-on techniques to keep lessons interesting. I incorporate fun (including origami) whenever possible, especially important

Deborah R - Hebron, MD 21830 (39.2 mi) - Piano Tutor - $44.00/hr.
As an older student returning to complete my degree, I was driven to achieve my goal. I worked while completing my education and this gave me a better appreciation for that education. My teaching skills were honed while working with middle school children in the public school system and as a private piano and voice teacher. Experiences in the church setting further added to the experience that has made me a better business person and teacher. I maintained a large number of students in private practice as well as in an educational center setting. As a member of the National Piano Teacher's Guild, my student consistently scored in the excellent category when competing in the annual Guild Auditions. Students of all ages are welcomed in my world...from beginners to the senior citizen who wants to learn more. I strive to make the learning fun and exciting by finding what works for the stude
