Jazz Dancing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Haines City, 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 made sure the basics are solid first. I feel that anatomy and clear understanding of the body and how it works is pivotal to success in dance. I am all about the details. I have taught private lessons for a year, while also teaching ballet, modern, and jazz in studios. I also led dance class at a charter school for a year twice a week. During my private lessons I got to work one on one with individuals and truly see dramatic improvement. I strive to see my students grow and cultivate their own creativity in movement.

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

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. I like to teach through discovery and creative approaches. I have a bachelor's degree in Marketing and have worked with children for many years. 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 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 student I tutored kids in my own school and helped them with homework, projects and exams. All the students that I worked with improved their grades. Now, apart from teaching music, I also volunteer as a tutor; teaching and helping students improve is one of my passions. 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,

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

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 believe once a child learns HOW they are unique, and how they learn, then they will become life long learners and will become eager and confident to learn. Creating a confident life long learner is my goal. I seek to first identify strengths in every child and use that as my foundation to build their knowledge upon. 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 st

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 geared toward teaching in the 21st century. 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

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

As a engineering student at The University of Alabama, I have been privileged to participate in the Freshman Engineering Program as a mentor. The role of this position is to aid in teaching freshman engineering classes, grading class assignments, and to serve as a student mentor for advising. I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in this program and really enjoy seeing student overcome something in which they have struggled with. I love teaching and working with all age groups. I get excited when I see someone else get as excited about learning as I am. I am always willing and able to help someone strive for excellence. I am a patient individual and a firm believer in hands on learning and seeing that there is more to education than theory. I strive to make a difference in the lives of those that I teach.

I currently hold a bachelor of science degree in biology and also have obtained a minor in chemistry. The major subject areas taught in my college curriculum where biology, chemistry, math, and physics. I feel that I am completely comfortable in teaching any one of the subjects. In the past five years I have been a CPR/first aid instructor for future lifeguards. At the end of twenty four hour training class each student was required to pass a test with an 80% or better.In addition to this, during my last two college years I tutored college and high school students on a volunteer basis. These students where tutored mostly in Chemistry, Biology, and Math ranging from algebra to trigonometry. Teaching is an art that many people find difficult. I am a firm believer that through a good education students can have a future in whatever career field they choose. In essence, a teacher has the abi

I graduated with a BSE in English education. I previously taught 10th grade English at Ridgeland High School in Ridgeland, MS. My main objective was to prepare these students for the state English test. For the past six months I have been tutoring students of all grade levels in reading comprehension and writing through an online tutoring company. I enjoy teaching creative writing as well as essay writing. I believe that every student learns different ways and at different rates. As a teacher it is important to learn these differences in each student and adapt your teaching style to the student. I believe that it is important to provide constructive criticism without diminishing a student's self-confidence. I want the students to feel comfortable with me so that they will feel more confidant making mistakes and asking question. This is especially important when students are reading alou

Salut! I used both teacher-centered and student-centered styles because although coaching and facilitating a student in understanding the language, having the knowledge of which countries speak the language and the different terminology used by each countries can be a benefit to a student. I believe in interaction and practice of the language on the daily basis. It takes time to learn a new language but with practice, perfection follows. Anyone can speak a new language and my best reward is to see the achievement in all my student. If I demonstrate my passion and love for it, then they will enjoy learning it and have fun while doing so. It is not a matter of a teacher's knowledge but how to pass that knowledge to the student.

I beleive that everybody can learn another language if not several languages. We are prone to just knowing who we are. There is so much more to us and a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Feed your mind and it will nourish you for ages. I stress nothing but a desire to learn, an open mind and and heart to thrive and give it a true to heart try without ever doubting yourself. One can tell the passion and love of a subject thay truly enjoy when it lights up there eyes and brings a smile to one's face. I remember the sounds, the sites, the many tastes and memories created while growing up in Italy. I have in me what no text book or writing can create. A true love for the language, a true desire to share my history, my experience and love for life. I have always been and will always be a professional in what I teach and how I teach.
