Jazz Dancing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Highland 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

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 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 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

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

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 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.

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 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 various situations and extensive writing, research, and grammatical skills. All which are due to writing research papers and participating in a variety of different research studies. In high school and for the past year, I have tutored students and enabled them to excel in reading, writing, and Spanish. 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 t

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

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
