Jazz Dancing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Eagle Lake, FL

I have a collaborative style of teaching. My ultimate goal is to get students to think, regardless of their age. With younger students, I tend to be much more directive so that we accomplish intended learning. With middle and high school students, I ask "Why" and "How do you know" quite often so that they learn to provide evidence for their thinking. Getting the RIGHT answer isn't the goal -- understanding and developing critical thinking processes are much more valuable! I have two decades of experience in education. My first 10 years were spent in adult education training adults to work in various organizations in the business world. My last 10 years have been spent in public education classrooms working as a teacher for elementary, middle, and high school students. I have taught core content courses at each level. Therefore, I understand how each grade level builds upon the te

When teaching I often utilize imagery and visuals to aide in comprehension. In all cases I asses the individual's learning style and apply strategies complimentary to that style. I have a wealth of experience with ages 5 through adult in multiple areas of turoring both academic and extra curricular such as dance. I have coordinated educational and arts programs as a Program Director of a Boys and Girls Club & Arts Academy as well assisted individuals one on one in after school and day programs. I also have experience with individuals with disabilities and behavioral problems and obtained a minor in Behavioral Healthcare through the Univ. of South Florida.

As an Education major graduate I am driven to challenge and reinforce students in order to obtain a high level of performance. In college I achieved a triple minor in English, Psychology and Science. I did this with the intent that strong content knowledge will greatly affect student achievement along with excellent teaching strategies. I have had experience teaching all grade levels and have taught in several different schools. My career has taken me from Canada to the UK and now to the States. I believe my "tool kit" of strategies and my drive for progress with ultimately help any child make the gains necessary for their grade level. Teaching is my passion and I thoroughly enjoy working with children. I especially enjoy working independently with children to help their social and academic needs. I strongly believe all children can learn; the mission is finding out HOW they learn. I bel

During my four years of undergraduate studies, I have spent three years tutoring in the subject area of English. While maintaining a full course load and working full time, I have managed to tutor over 107 students during this period. The majority of the material covered included essay writing at a college level, (scholarship essays, admissions essays, formation of a thesis paper, etc.). After graduating with a BA in English, I went on to pursue a career in teaching. Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to teach at both a middle school and a high school level. This has given me the experience necessary to tutor a younger age group, and has helped me learn new ways to assist students in understanding the material. Currently as a 10th grade teacher, I volunteer both my lunch and planning period to tutor students for the FCAT, assist them with essay writing, grammar and usage, as

Through my experiences in teaching, I have created and patented a vocabulary game which I use throughout Central Florida at various schools and with many students. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. I encourage my students to keep looking for the ways that help them understand and succeed at whatever they do. I enjoy creating a fun, thought-provoking, and challenging environment that will help any student to learn. Therefore, I look for the individual needs of each student.

Each person is different and as a tutor one has to be very empathic, patient, and understanding. By knowing the child you're working with and understanding their way of learning, you can adjust your methods to accommodate them, that way being more effective. Something very importatn that I have learned when tutoring, is to make them feel smart and give them positive affirmation when they learn something and reach a goal. I try to make lessons and tutoring sessions fun, by letting them express themselves and getting to know them, but also getting down to business when it is time to. I love working with children and young adults. As a Music major, I have been giving singing, piano, and theory and sight singing lessons for many years. There is nothing more rewarding that watching a child learn and knowing that you helped him/ her get there. Music is not all I know; as a high school st

I do not use common classroom practices in teaching. Activity and creativity are at the heart of learning. When learning is fun, children will retain concepts and not constantly ask, "Why am I learning this?" I try to create a practical way to use concepts learned in school. Here are a few examples. For a twelve year old boy studying geometry, we might play basket ball to calculate the best angles for a free-throw. For a nine year old girl, I might teach her to do a handstand to learn about simple machines and science. Learning is fun...if you know how to play. As a gymnastics coach, I teach children about how their body works, basic science and physics concepts. For younger kids, I also include numbers, colors and coordination. I believe that when concepts are explained in a physical or unique way, the retention of that information is better. My teaching and tutoring experie

I understand that all children learn differently and I am able to adapt my teaching style to fit the child. I am both patient and positive and I like to give the student confidence. My goal is to not only help the child learn, but to also give them a sense of confidence. It is important that each student believe in his or herself as well as their capabilities. I have been working with children for several years. I started by teaching dance at a local dance studio while I was in high school. It was from this experience that I chose to go to college to become a teacher. I have a degree in Elementary Education and am ESOL certified. I have experience as a substitute teacher and have worked with both elementary and middle school students.

I am a very passionate and dedicated teacher. I strive to be a positive role model for my students and I provide compassion that children need at such a fragile stage in life. I believe that children learn best when engaged and involved in the learning process. I provide goals to children and hold them accountable for their learning. Children need positive encouragement and timely and constructive feedback. I want to place a positive, lasting impression on my students and give children a positive view towards learning early on in life. As a graduate at Baldwin-Wallace College, I was very equipped for a teaching position in the Elementary level. I spent many hours in the classroom during my college experience and received a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Reading Endorsement. My teaching experience continued when I got a position as a first grade teacher at Guy B. Teachey El

I am a person that believes that each student can learn and reach success. Each person has an unique way of learning and it is up to me to figure out what that way is and help the child to utilize it as a strength. I have a motto for children and it is: "You Can and You Will." This is what I teach my children to say because "If you can believe, You can achieve!" There is power in the tongue. I have been in the field of education for over 10 years, certified in advanced fine arts, teaching music, dance and also coordinating after school academic programs. I yearned to learn more about the styles of learning and how to reach each child in the class so I completed a Master's in Divergent Learning, the study of learning styles and how to address them in curriculum instruction. I have since been continuing my experience as the Director of a 21st century grant funded after school program

I love teaching and helping all children. I believe that each child is different and needs different methods to help them better understand the material set before them. No one child can learn the same exact way as another, which is why I work at the pace of your child and at a level that they would understand. I am patient, kind, considerate, and understanding. My goal is to provide your child with the best method and tools to help them succeed throughout school and to go on to obtain a higher education. I live to make a difference in the lives of all the students that I meet. As a college graduate, I am very passionate and motivated to achieveing a higher level of education. I have earned a BA in sociolgy and plan to go back to school to obtain my master's in medical social work and possibly a PHD, also in medical social work. Sociology has taught me many ways to approach vario

All people learn differently, whether it's visually, orally, kinesthetically, or through the written word. My first goal is to connect with my student's learning type by asking a few questions, and testing different communication techniques. My number one goal is to keep my student's trust, attention, and self-confidence high. Always reinforce with praise, and always break things down step by step, so frustrataion has little room to grow. Calm the waters, then let them try new sails; reinforce with smiles and praise. My education and experience background is varied and interesting. My B.S. degree in Geography earned me skills research, math, critical thinking, communication, and mapping. I also took a heavy load of biology and kinesiology (exercise science) courses because of personal interest. I have excellent teaching skills which have allowed me to teach in a variety of environments

I love interacting with children. I believe that everyone has the ability to learn any subject given the approprate attention and attitude. The greatest pleasure for me is seeing the faces of these children when they understand something that they were having difficulty with. My overall goal and objective is to just to help and if I can reach one child I would consider that a success. I have not had any formal experience teaching however I did take two semesters of early childhood education in college as well as two semesters of internship in elementary schools. I have tutored several students including my younger brother and his classmates. I feel that my broad education and personal experience as well as my personality encourages as well as inspires the children I have tutored. I tutored students in English, Algebra and Geometry.
