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.

Creative, energetic tutor with special needs experience

I homeschooled a gifted third grader, including administering standardized end-of-grade test, for 1 year. I have tutored homeschooled first and third graders in math, reading, writing, social studies, and art for the last 6 months. I tutored a 8-12-year-old with autism spectrum for 4 years. I provided respite for children with disabilities for several years. I have coached Special Olympics swimming for 11 years for teens and adults. I have informally given piano lessons. I teach exercise to kids/teens with diabetes and their families at the Kerr Family YMCA.
I like to get to know the student and individualize the tutoring to his or her learning style and interests. I can incorporate physical and creative activities into the academic subjects if desired.

Changing The World, One Child AT A Time

I was an assistant teacher to a 3rd grade class at Wilson's Mills Elementary from 2001 until 2003. My duties included assisted the teacher and helping the students in a manner to help them learn at their pace. And I also have an 8 year old son who attends River Dell Elementary. I help him on a daily basis with his homework, which includes math, reading and writing. I love kids and it brings great joy to my life to see the smile on their faces when they learn something new, or figure out the answer to a problem they are working on.

A Little Bit About Me...

My experiences working with students of all ages and skill levels have allowed me to understand the importance of discovering what each individual needs to be successful. First, I believe in establishing strong foundations, so a student is not trying to learn advanced concepts when they need the basics. Also, I use repetition as a learning tool – especially for math-based subjects – because some things just take practice. Last, but not least, I work to use visual aids and to find life application moments as often as possible. I deeply value education, love working with people, and will strive to teach my students not only facts and figures but also how to think and discover the world around them and the potential that lies within them.
During high school, college, and as a working professional, I have taught students voluntarily and professionally in various subject matters. I ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching children through unique and innovative methods, whether it be through songs in order to help with memorization or presenting the students with real life situations to navigate through. I am mainly hands on and very visual. I feel that these are ultimately the best ways to help children learn and to make a difference in their lives.
As soon as I reached high school, I became interested in mentoring those younger than me and this passion still carries me. With the guidance of my mother, who has been a teacher and tutor for over 20 years, I began to tutor elementary school children in Math, Science, Writing, and oral presentation skills. My mother, as the founder of Gillin Tutoring Services, trained me on how to tutor most effectively. As a graduate of Duke University, I have had education in a number of subjects including, Mathematics, English/Literature, Spanish, Sci ... read more

I have helped others with their approach to learning for over 25 years. I tutored in several subjects in high school, and Algebra I in college. I developed several documents and training sessions during 14 years as a computer professional, and am proficient in breaking down concepts so that they are easier to understand. I have been a substitute teacher for the past 5 years in elementary and middle schools. I worked for Orange County Public Schools as an elementary reading tutor in 2008. I was a private Algebra I tutor in the spring of 2009, and volunteered as a reading helper in the elementary school during this time. My strengths are in math through Algebra I, reading, grammar, writing and the sciences.
The taste of success is a great motivator in education, but students are often exposed to destructive associations of failure. My teaching style is to provide the tools for ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with students and watching their growth and development academically. My approach to each student is different because I understand each will need a different approach. Initially with each student I identify his or her strengths and weaknesses with the material. While building on their strengths, I attempt to change their perspective towards the course material that seems difficult. For example, if a student is struggling with multiplication but has superior addition skills, I will use addition to help them understand multiplication.
As a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I have a proven track record of success. I am currently pursuing a MS Degree at Full Sail University and my current GPA is a 4.0. I completed my BA degree in Music in 2007. While studying at UNC I took extensive course in Education and during that time was pursuing an Edu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and working with children and adults. My first experience in education was with children's music classes, and have since enjoyed the opportunity to teach adults at the community college level. I would describe my style as adaptive. In my experience every child and adult requires somewhat of a different approach. After careful evaluation, a course is developed to meet the students needs. With that said, no matter what approach is taken, above all else I know that practice and a solid understanding of the subject's terms is the first key to successful learning.
For over four years, I have been involved in private tutoring as well as teaching classes available to the public. I have a passion for teaching and enjoy helping others succeed. While completing my Bachelors in Business Administration, I developed a firm understanding and passion for economics, finan ... read more
