Jazz Dancing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in High Springs, FL

I use humor to bring the subject matter to life, and I help the student come to her/his own understanding through discussion of the course material, encouraging her/him to take an active role in learning. I am accustomed to working with students who believe that history is boring and/or challenging. I focus on major themes and relate the material to students' lives, rather than stressing rote memorization of dates and facts (although comprehension of reading material is important). In short, I leave students with a love for history, and I help students develop their writing and analytical skills. I have taught as a Teaching Associate at the University of Florida since 2006, when I was admitted to candidacy. Before that I taught as a Teaching Assistant at U.F. I met one-on-one with students throughout this experience to advise or tutor them when extra help was needed. I also taught at

I love teaching and being around children. Their vitality and energy is contagious. I believe they are truly our nation's future and we must nurture them. I believe each child has unique skills and capabilities and you must tap into these capabilities to assure the student learns well. Each child has a unique way of learning and every child is capable of succeeding with the right tools at hand. I am a very hands on teacher and believe that a child can

I love helping and teaching children, and am eager for the opportunity to encourage learning. I am patient and sensitive, and understand that each student has a different approach to learning. I also understand that for many, learning can be frustrating and discouraging, but I am eager to show students that learning can be a positive experience. As a tutor, I will strive to discover my student's strengths and abilities, and help him or her apply those to achieve a solid education. I am a student at the University of Florida and am confident in my ability to provide an excellent education. I have some experience in tutoring children in reading and basic math, and have been a "Big Sister" type figure.

I respect children because I find I can learn just as much from them as they can from me. I believe an important step in becoming a good student is self-confidence; because of this, I try to be as motivating and encouraging as possible to my students. I also try to make learning fun, highlighting how interesting a certain concept may be or how practical it is to daily life. I am patient and friendly, so that students can feel comfortable with me and not feel shy to tell me when they do not understand something. My goals are 1) to help students enjoy learning and 2) to help students realize that with hard work and dedication they can accomplish their goals. Through hard work and diligence, I have been able to achieve my academic and career goals; I enjoy helping young students achieve their goals by imparting the study skills and knowledge I have learned. I completed a math, science,

Hands on teaching and kinesthetic learning are key to success in my mind. I love to involve the student's entire body in the learning process. From their senses to their movements to memory device techniques in the form of song or poem, using alternative methods of teaching seems more effective in the learning process. As a Cum Laude graduate from the University of Florida, I continue to hold a high level of discipline in every aspect of life. Whether it be at work, at home, or at school, I feel it is imperative to do your best no matter what the situation. Upon graduation at the age of twenty, I began teaching undergraduate courses for UF. This was an honor, but it was not challenging enough. It was not until I helped students with severe mental and physical disabilities that I felt fulfilled in my profession. Being able to teach student who are eager to learn, but have obstacles

My teaching style incorporates all of the senses, listening, watching and doing. Everyone learns differently, the idea is to tap into what works best for them. The way to do this is to better learn who they are as individuals. I have in the past prepared written learning materials and conducted stand up training sessions. I believe that my greatest strengths in learning and development are patience and a willingness to work with people. My love in life is helping people and helping them to achieve their personal goals. For the past 18 years I have been in the IT industry, and I am looking for a career change. I have held positions as a programmer, business analyst, and training analyst.

I keep an open mind that most children learn in different ways. I try to provide lots of different ways of learning the same subject. I have a background in Anthropology and have traveled extensively throughout the globe and feel that it is my duty to make my teaching style multicultural and to make sure that no one is falling through the cracks. I try to laugh and smile a lot and find that students are more able to open up to me when I do. I always try to lead by example and do everything that I expect my students to do. It is very important to have high expectations for the students and to let them know what those expectations are. I was enrolled in the Master's Program for Elementary Education at the University of Florida and volunteered over 300 hours in the public school system. I have only one year left before obtaining my advanced degree should I decide to return to school.

My teaching style consist of explaining the information, asking open ended questions and re-explaining the information again. If I notice the student is having trouble answering the questions then I use a different teaching approach. I try to relate the questions to something the person has experienced in his/her culture. Since 1988 I have taught or tutored various levels of students from primary to secondary grade levels. As a student that always excelled (Member of Phi Theta Honor Society, Honor graduate, Raines Scholar, Who's Who Among High School Students, AP student, Vice-President of the National Junior Honor Society) I found it easy to help others understand concepts they may have missed during class. Most of the tutoring I did was due to a concerned parent asking for my assistance. One example was a young lady that I tutored during the summer. She had trouble during the sch

I have worked with kids from the moment I graduated high school in 1999. I worked in many different areas teaching cheerleading, dance, and gymnastics. Although these are not curriculum built, this still took a lot of skill. Patience, organization, commitment, and teaching style was vitally important in my success. Dealing with kids ages 4 to 18 really showed me how to be a strong leader as well as a great communicator. I often had to tutor some of my kids in math and english to ensure that they could still be active in the sport. Education always came first as well as my professionalism to help them to achieve at any cost. I truly enjoy teaching kids. I believe kids should have the opportunity to lurn in a fun and exciting manner. The lessons always seem to stick with the children when you can relate it to them. As we know we can not always do that so I try to relate it to daily situati
