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

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 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 critical thinking processes are much more valuable! 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 te

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

As a native French and Creole speaker, I have the ability to teach your children the proper French as well as the jargon to adapt to any French countries whether it is Canada, France, Dominica, Haiti or our own New Orleans, LA. I was raised with learning and speaking the French language and I have traveled to Paris, France and Quebec, Canada where I practiced both the jargon and the business versions. I was briefly a translator for a marketing company where I translated French to English. Therefore, I speak, hear, write and read the French language. I have a Masters degree in Business Administration, therefore, I believe in gaining knowledge through education. J’espère vous entendre bientôt = I hope to hear from you soon! Salut!

I believe that when teachers raise their expectations of students, the students rise to that level of expectation. All students have the capacity to excel in any subject although their style of learning may differ from other students. When educators take care to find out about a student, including what interests and motivates him, the student is more likely to have successes in class if the educator use the information to hers and the student's advantage. Once a student begin to have successes, they will definitely look forward to performing well and building on that success. As a teacher, I believed that every child, regardless of background, deserved the very best education and should be constantly reminded of the unlimited possibilities that exist so they do not settle for less. While in college, I served as a volunteer and a tutor for adults earning their GED, for elementary students

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 ability to give a child a future. I think one of the best was to educate is by practice and hands on experience. As a teacher my main goal is for the student to comprehend the material which they are studying.I believe with hard work all children can be successful in meeting their education goal.While it is true that not all children learn in the same way, this issue can be solved by a very compassionate teacher that wants success for all of his or her students.I do feel that I can give children and adult students this success.

As a engineering student at The University of Alabama, I have been privileged to participate in the Freshman Engineering Program as a mentor.

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.

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

While serving the education department at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum, I gave hour long tours to student groups ranging from elementary age to college level in which I led discussions on several works of art. As a historian, I have been trained to analyze and communicate effectively, as evidenced by my success as a tutor at Rollins College. This position required me to clearly explain concepts, review material, lead study sessions, and edit student research papers and essays. In addition, my work as an Advanced Composition instructor for a preparatory school has further reinforced these skills, and has also given me valuable insight into the grading process for high school teachers. The Socratic method of teaching has been instilled in me as the most engaging and successful approach to learning.

My experience in Title I schools has been very exciting and rewarding. I have been able to use my degree in English as a resource for reading and writing and saw great results as my students' skills and interest levels soared as each year progressed. My unique approach to reading which is to stimulate interest in subject areas in advance of presenting materials seems to work wonders for children with limited life experience. I have had some very good in service training in the area of math as well. My last principal hired a math coach for teachers that brought our ability to teach math to multiple levels, up to a very high standard. I feel very confident that I could make a great difference in the education of children who may be in high risk situations. I am very fond of the unit study method that helps students work all aspects of certain skills in one concentrated subject. For ins

I love being around children and working with them in a creative environment. I have high expectations for all students, no matter what skill level they posess. I believe every child is capable of amazing results if expectations are set high from the beginning. I love to see success and achievement in my students and I want them to have fun while they are learning. My foundations in teaching are from an arts background, so I love to work with developing imagination, creativity, cooperative learning, and creative problem solving. I want my students to have a passion for knowledge and wish for every child the opportunity to have the best education possible, no matter what the background or circumstances. I believe that I can be a part of making that goal come true and make a difference for the students I work with. As a graduate with a degree in children's theatre, I have worked theatre ed

Currently I work at an alternative school for students with learning disabilities and behavioral problems teaching Math and Art. Although there is no art program, I voluntarily head up art contests and help students paint murals on the campus. My degrees are in Computer Information Systems, French, and Spanish. After being a Computer Programmer for five years, I decided to become more involved with education. I've taught Math at City College, ESOL at Valencia Community College, and all subjects in elementary schools. I've voluntarily tutored disadvantaged children at a local church and helped my sisters with their homework for years. Overall, I'm a jack-of-all-trades and enjoy discovering the many unique ways students think and learn. My teaching style is clay. It molds itself to fit individual needs. For example, some students need visual aids and some need verbal. Sometimes even these

Both my undergraduate and graduate collegiate experiences have given me ample knowledge and skills to draw from with regard to teaching and tutoring. The experience of doing it, however, gave me much more. While I was in graduate school at the University of Texas I tutored women athletes. My teaching career began immediately after I finished graduate school in Austin, Texas. I taught in Austin for a year at Virginia College and then took a teaching job at the Florida Keys Community College. I was a Speech Teacher. Teaching students how to present themselves in verbal and written presentation was rewarding because I knew that I was preparing them for the future. Tutoring and teaching are great because both student and teacher learn; it's a two-way street. I really enjoy teaching and tutoring because not only am I helping others, I am learning as well.
