Jazz Dancing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Coconut Creek, FL

I believe that each mind is as individual as each person. Much of the time, a problem is a system that is not individualized or flexible enough. I feel I have a unique insight into seeing the way a child learns and finding the pathway that will lead them to success in school. The very things that make it difficult for a child to learn in the school system may be the things that help them "think outside the box" later in life and should not be squleched. And yet, to get to a point where they can share their gifts, they must be successful in the educational system. There is a way to solve this conundrum and I believe I have the answer. I taught ESL, voice lessons and tutored biology, reading, vocabulary and comprehension over a three year period. I have taught students from Japan, China, Brazil, Korea, and Colombia in one class. I have taught students ranging from five to fifty years

While complete my last two years of high school I was a part time tutor at the Home Work Center which assisted students with dyslexia and children needing extra help outside of school. I was involved in this after school program Monday to Friday and I tutored at least one child a day. On weekends and most summers I was a swim instructor for toddlers and children between the ages of 3 and seven. While in college I was involved in a summer program geared towards students of color. I was also involved with the Upward Bound program as a tutor and Office Assistant. My focus on linguistics in my first degree makes me eligible to assist in reading and English. My Liberal Arts background has rounded me in all subject areas which makes me a very good candidate for tutoring elementary to middle school children. I have spent most of the last ten years working with children and young adults. I like

My teaching style is determined by the way I conduct my student's learning experience. My style is built from the behavior and actions I take to make the lesson conducive and meaningful for my students. The strategy I use as the teacher can ensure that the appropriate method is used for effective learning to take place. As the teacher my behavior can dictate how the student's behave towards the subject. As a result, in my teaching style I show my students how to properly do a task or work through a problem and then I'll help them master the task or problem solution. It's important that my students can independently solve similar problems by using and adapting demonstrated methods. This is going to be my sixth year as a science teacher. I began my teaching career back in 2002 when I decided to change careers from the biochemistry field and working as a Research Scientist and moved on to t

I have an easy going and nurturing teaching style. I believe that there is no one way to teach or touch a mind or heart. I believe in positive reinforcement and try to maintain a learning-rich environment. I am a "think outside of the box" sort of person. I know the tremendous impact my teachers had on me, and I want to share my passion for knowledge with as many students as I can. I grew up working with children, babysitting them and part-time teaching at a pre-school while I was in in high school. I was also a camp counselor in North Carolina for 6 years. I have been substituting in the public school system this year and it has been wonderful. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Florida Atlantic University and an ESOL endorsement.

I have performed "in-service" training in all of my previous employment. Some of my freelance work involved tutoring professionals on computer use. My professional work involved training and mentoring two interns (age 17). My undergraduate research subject was teaching medical professionals to utilize computers as a bedside tool for information management. My masters thesis subject was teaching teachers (elementary level) to use computers as a tool for learning in the classroom. I have three children of my own (ages 6-18yrs) of whom I have spent countless hours mentoring, coaching, and teaching (home schooling) and homework, homework, homework. As a graduate with a Masters Degree in Human Services Administration, I am motivated to achieve a level of excellence in education.

I am never in my seat. I keep close proximity to my students at all times which is essential in classroom management. I am very energetic, and outgoing, resourceful and creative. I love to read and write and take great value in my presentation of both. I have very strong communication skills, and I model for my students the behaviors which I think will guide them to becomming productive, successful members of society. I am an enthusiastic, energetic teacher who was just layed off from a 1st grade teaching position at a local charter school!!! Unfortunately, due to overcrowding and budget concerns for the state of FL, I am unable to find another full-time position. I am currently substitute teaching here in Broward County, but there are no benefits, no opportunities for advancement, and no promise that I will teach each day. I am looking to keep a strict work routine and have a job whi

An instructor, no matter how skilled, will never succeed at reaching a level of understanding with all of his or her students unless he or she is able to expound the lesson beyond the blackboard. Like a child who desires to color outside the rigid and creativity-stifled lines, so does the knowledge-hungry student search for a way to grasp and conceptualize ideas outside the standard perimeters of traditional learning. Teachers are now called to blow off the aged chalk from their routine boards and place focus on the specific needs of students, seeing each as an individual learner and not part of a generalized class. Lessons and concepts should be presented in a matter that brings them into a reality rather than an unclear abstraction. Having the extraordinary power to inspire and motivate students to excel, teachers must not hesitate to use their skill and creativity to explore a given l

As a believer that students are enabled to advance themselves when properly instructed, guided, motivated and inspired. I have enjoyed the pleasure of impartation in several subject areas including music (vocal and instrumental) English (for foreign students especially as I served in the American Peace Corps as a Biology , English and Physical Education Teacher), Typing/Wordprocessing and Communication. I have at one time or another enjoyed the full spectrum of students, from Pre-K, to Higher Education as well as Adult Education. I have the special talent of being able to communicate based on the student's best learning mode. Teaching has been one of my natural talents as proven when I was in kindergarten. I was given the unique experience of teaching my classmates when we all were in kindergarten because at five I was already advanced and capable of doing so. At age 13 I began teac

I have always been fascinated with language and how it is used. I dedicated myself to learning the details of the English language. I have extensive experience teaching all ages and all levels and students from all over the world from many varied cultures. I myself am a first generation American so I can relate to the difficulties of not only learning a foreign language but a foreign culture as well for the two cannot be separated from each other. I have been a language student, a language teacher and also a director of a language school. I also have a formal education and training in languages and teaching them. Also, I have a genuine interest in other cultures and languages as well. I believe that to be a great teacher you can never have just one style or method because we all assimilate knowledge in different ways. However, my teaching philosophy is to teach so students learn but

I worked in the Broward School system for the past eight years as an Interim Sub and Math Teacher. The last job I held was teaching mathematics which includes, Algebra, Geometry at HD Perry Middle School in Miramar Fl. I also secured a bachelors degree from Florida Atlantic University and worked corporate America for 17 years. Teaching is near and dear to my heart and soul and I enjoy teaching and making a difference to others. I have used several strategies including differentiated instructional focus with my students. My certificate is still current and I am available to tutor. I used several strategies including differentiated instructional methods. This year I will incorporate problem based learning as well as contructivist approach to my learners.

Teaching is a talent however; I teach according to the student I am working with once I know his or her style of learning I then conform to how they are in order to better assist them. I believe that every child is capable of succeeding and no one should be doubted. Four simple words "you can do it" may mean a world of difference to that child and inspire them. So therefore I just want every student to succeed and the fact that I can change one Child's life makes a world of difference because their story can change hundreds to thousands and even millions. As a current college student, I have been tutoring since my freshman year (currently a rising senior), I started out at J.T Williams Middles school, where I tutored 5 students (in an after school program) which included English, Math, and helping the study for test. I also played a big part in the students personally mentoring them as

I have always been an achiever and very tenacious and I believe that anyone can overcome obstacles and that learning in the right environment is important. I am very professional, patient and kind and my goal is to teach children and adults to use their potential to the best of their abilities. As a theatre professional I have mentored many performers going into the profession and facilitated different outreach programs for children and adults. I am currently in Florida after many years in New York and I am looking to set my own work hours and would like to be considered as a tutor in English. English was my minor in college and that coupled with my professional background, I feel that I would be an asset to your program.

I work well with children of all ages. I am extremely patient and realize that everyone learns a different way. I try to appeal to all senses through my teaching styles. I provide constructive criticism and positive reinforcement. I make sure that I am understood and think that through examples and experience is the best way to learn. I am an actuarial science major with minors in business and mathematics. I've taken math courses in college algebra, precalculus, calculus 1-3, linear algebra, financial mathematics, business statistics, ordinary differential equations, and two upper level math statistics courses. I have a very strong background in mathematics and statistics. I have tutored at my school and through several honor societies that I was involved in.

In the last two years of college, I have become an expert on studying, critical thinking, and interpreting scholarly material. I have been equipped with knowledge in the field of science, language, communication, writing, sociology, psychology, and English. I had the privilege of graduating cum laude along with a number of other honors for my excellence in education. For the past year I have worked with autistic adults and children, teaching and tutoring them. Teaching in the field of autism has taught me that every child is unique in a variety of ways. Every person understands, interprets, and learns differently. My love of teaching brings me great satisfaction when I am able to help a child comprehend and understand by rewording or teaching in a manner that they can grasp. I strive to prepare children for future learning by first conquering the building blocks of basic academics
