Jazz Dancing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Fort Meade, FL

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 teaching and learning of the previous grade level. 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 cri

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 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.

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

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 Elementary. I received extensive training in Technology Resources and I have experience implementing strategies for struggling students in math, reading writing and phonics. I have a lot of tools and knowledge to bring to a tutoring position. I am passionate, creative and fun. I know that I could be an essential part of the team at Advanced Learners.

I have been told by my first year teaching mentor that my style of teaching is "unconventional". Although I majored in English, I had a concentration in creative writing and a minor in visual arts. I think of writing as an art, and so I use creative methods in the classroom to teach students. I believe our youth's attention span is getting shorter and shorter due to television/media and modern day technologies. As a teacher, it is imperative that you hold the child's interest. I believe in incorporating these technologies into the classroom, and relating material in the easiest terms and to things they already know. There is nothing worse than feeling like you are "stupid" when you cannot understand what the teacher is saying or cannot relate to it. The best learning happens when students do not even realize they are learning. That is the foundation for my style of teaching. I love teach

As a University of Delaware graduate and a current MBA student I pride myself on my education. Throughout my carreer as a competative figure skater, education has been a priority and I feel it is the foundation to a person's successes in every aspect of life. Studying art history in college I was able to gain extensive experience in research and writing as well as a variety of basic college level courses in every subject. In highschool I excelled at math and science and was able to become more diverse in college with my writing skills. I have also done research across the world for the University of Delaware leadership program as well as the University of California Los Angeles archaeology program. I enjoy teaching children of all ages. With the continuous stress on academic achievement it is of great importance to excel at every level. I believe everyone has their strengths and weakness

I have also been in demand as a motivational speaker showing individuals how to inspire themselves towards success. I have developed innovative and exciting ways to instruct children. 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.

As a native of another country, I was placed in the position of having to adapt and learn the English language quite quickly. Six months after my arrival, I was helping other children learn the language. In the years that have followed, I have had the pleasure of teaching/tutoring children and young people in the core academic subjects as well as diverse areas such as dance, language arts, etiquette, personal hygiene, self-esteem, and job skills. My strengths are English grammar, social studies, Spanish, and performing arts. I believe in every child or person's ability to learn no matter what the challenge presented. I believe everyone has a unique way of learning and the key lies in capitalizing on the appropriate learning style. Patience is vital when teaching something new and to be one of my biggest strengths. I will do everything possible to ensure that your child excels. I am also

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

Having a great love for learning, I strive to achieve the highest level of education. I have an Associates degree in Secondary Education from HCC. During this time I completed 45 hours of observation with elementary and high school students. I earned my Bachelors degree from USF, majoring in English-Creative Writing. Here, I learned the skills I would need to teach my future students the joy of writing. I am currently working to attain ABA approved paralegal certification; in this field writing and grammatical skills are a must. I have experience as homework help teacher for a South Tampa Aftercare center. I have also volunteered for Primrose Preschool and done observation at Plant High School. I love children as of ages, and am eager to teach the writing skills, hoping they can find as much joy in writing as I do. I am patient and understanding, having worked with mentally ill persons

Individual students have different ways of learning. It is important that I help them find their own unique way to comprehend the subjects they are studying. I truly enjoy working with kids of all ages and use my own experiences to help them remember and understand what they are studying. I love to help students understand concepts in many different subjects by using fun and interesting ways to memorize things. Throughout high school and college I tutored algebra, statistics, anthropology, English and sciences. I am very excited to be able to help students again as I continue my own education. I am currently attending the University of South Florida for both a masters and a doctorate degree and have experience and education in math and writing.

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 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. 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.
