Jazz Dancing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lucerne Valley, CA

I am a California State University, Los Angeles graduate, holding a BA in English, with a specific focus on clasroom teaching. Throughout high school and college, I was driven to assist my peers, using my knowledge to ensure that they understood the subject matter and would succeed in any academic endeavors. As a nanny, I have several years experience teaching small children to read. I am also well versed in theatre arts, dance, and world history. I believe that an open dialogue is a teacher's most needed resource. Any child needs to feel as though he or she can express concerns or apprehensions without the fear of feeling embarrassed or stupid. I truly believe that there is no such thing as a stupid question. Teaching should, of course, relay necessary information, but it should also foster a student's drive to succeed, as well as the knowledge that any goal can be reached through perse

Through out my work with children diagnosed with autism I have learned and implemented B.F. Skinner's Operent Conditioning model. Although punishment is in the model, my specific teaching style only includes reinforcement using encouragement and praise to help your child reach his/her optimal potential. Working with children diagnosed with autism, I have learned patience and the ability to adapt each session as the student goes through their individual learning process. My work has prepared me for all possible challenges with a range of students who fall along the continuum of learning abilities. My college studies have been in a variety of fields with the most concentration in the arts and social sciences. At the University Center for Developmental Disabilities I have gained one-on-one experience with children with autism and have learned and employed several techniques used in the

My philosophy focuses on the development across five dimensions of learning: confidence and independence, knowledge and understanding, skills and strategies, the ability to use prior and emerging experience in new situations, and reflectiveness - the ability to think deeply and critically. I provide students with more experiences to working independently and interactively. It is essential to coordinate the students' inherent drive for self-determination, academic goals, and engaging activities that represents student achievement and performance.

Before introducing my teaching style with the student, I first make a detailed observation on where they are at in the subject. I review their stong points and weaknesses. For Intance, If they have pronounciation issues or trouble understanding vocabulary, I will focus my attention to that before moving on to any new or next step. I like to review what was learned last session before starting the new session so it stays fresh in their minds. Patience is most definately a must and knowing that there is a no "one size fits all" approach allows me to be creative in my teaching style for each and every student.

I have tutored children and adults in the past. As a high achiever in High School, college and in the corporate world, I was constantly requested by friends and parents to assist in tutoring in various subjects, such as English and speech. As a graduate from Cal State Fullerton with a BA in Speech Communication, I was able to provide high level of assistance in teaching and understanding the material at hand. My own motivation to peruse a Masters in Business Administration at UCLA is also a reason as to why I am requested to tutor others, not only to be an example that a higher education is indeed necessary, but also because my focus is also to educate others to continue an education.
