More About This Tutor...

I am a Dance teacher, choreographer and performer as well as a Yoga instructor. I've been dancing for over 20 years and teaching for about 10. I received a Bachelor's in Dance from Brigham Young University in 2011, with an emphasis in Modern/Contemporary. Since graduating I've been teaching, choreographing and dancing professionally and will continue doing so for as long as is humanly possible. I teach mostly Intermediate/Advanced level tap, jazz, modern/contemporary (but am open to teaching all levels) and Beginner/Intermediate level ballet. I also teach Vinyasa Yoga and believe any type and level of dancer can improve tremendously physically and mentally through a Yoga practice. And, lastly, I play the piano on the side and have taught beginner level piano. I have 17 years of experience playing the piano and play for the children at church as well as the choir.

My comments on tutoring Jazz Dancing : I have roughly 19 years experience with Jazz/Modern/Hip-Hop dance. I began taking lessons at age two and continued dancing until I was a senior in college (with the UNC-CH Starheels Dance Company). I also have three years of dance teaching experience for children and adults of all ages, both in private lessons and group lessons. I have choreographed dances for competitions and recitals, as well as offered additional coaching for children outside of normal class time.

I have a degree in English and Creative Writing from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and have two years experience writing for the Daily Tar Heel. I have also completed internships with the local NPR station, WUNC, and with the organization AGRADU (Advocates for Grassroots Development in Uganda). I am highly organized, responsible, and driven, and am very personable. I work well with children and young adults; I am the oldest of five children and during high school and college, I worked as a dance teacher and nanny. I'm currently working on publishing my first novel.
I am a patient and understanding teacher. I enjoy fostering close relationships with my students so that I can cultivate my methods to best suit their learning style.

Dance and Yoga Teacher

I am a student centered teacher who understands that all people learn in unique ways. I believe that a teacher should be both rigorous and demanding as well as supportive and open minded.
I am a dance and yoga teacher specializing in Vinyasa Flow Yoga, and Modern and Contemporary Dance. I also teach Jazz, Lyrical, and Ballet to both youth and adults. I have been teaching for over 10 years and find great pleasure in helping students learn to be embodied, healthy, strong, and coordinated. I have taught at many dance studios as well as at the university level. I specialize in workshops on movement in nature, as well as site specific workshops that involve improvisation, visual art, and physical exploration.

I love working with children. I've taught acting at the Durham Arts Council for three years. The duties from that position included directing students in performances which I helped them create. The plays were written around themes chosen by the camp director. So, in essence, the children and I would research those themes and develop stories which I would then turn into plays using my expertise. Those plays would be performed every two weeks for the entire summer. I was responsible for preparing three classes for this project simultaneously.
From my experiences teaching acting in Durham NC I know education can I know that learning can be fun. I hold a Bachelor's from UNC Greensboro where I majored in Psychology and theater arts, but also took many literature credits to fulfill a special educational program in which I was placed. this program was for gifted students.

Learning is an incredibly individual phenomenon. I believe patience and creativity are essential to helping children learn. A concept can be explained in many different ways and modalities and the key is to find which styles of learning are best suited to your child. With support and encouragement, I will help your child gain confidence by building upon their strengths and by presenting topics with which they have more difficulty in a way that best complements the way in which they learn.
As the oldest of three children, I have informally tutored for many years. While pursuing my undergraduate degree, I worked with a community college student and aided him in passing his Algebra course. My interests in education are diverse. I have a liberal arts degree which drew heavily upon my writing skills. Additionally, I was completing my prerequisites for medical school which require ... read more

II believe that writing is a craft that anyone can learn--anad that the craft can be found in revisison: in re-shaping draft after draft. I also believe that most people are smart. i've had high school students who read at a 3rd grade level--but they were smart when addressing subjects of interest to them. I teach by starting with the familiar--what students understand--and then buiding on it. In teachiing high school in East L.A., I would ask students to write about literature, say Wuthering Heights, starting with what themes were familiar. It turned out that Wuthering Heights became popular in East L.A., and my identified with some of the British characters. My high school students could write essay exams as well as my honors freshman at the University of California. They exceeded my expectations--which has been the norm with many of my classes. I just let them go as far as they can w ... read more

I feel I am a quick and good judge of what style teaching helps a student learn. I am very hands-on and very willing to adapt my teaching to meet the needs of the student. I am able to explain things with ease. It want to help students build their self-esteem as well as their education.
As a Theater Arts Educator, I have worn many hats. It never ceases to amaze me that each lesson I prepare for my theater classes also includes a grammar, math, science and history lesson too! Theater works on building one's self-esteem. I feel that self-esteem is a crucial building block for all learning. In addition to theater, I have taught public speaking, speech and debate as well as reading. I have experience teaching students of all ages.
