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

I wholeheartedly believe in the power of education. I believe that education is the key to our freedom in life. I hope to teach this philosophy to my students. As a teacher, I would describe myself as laid-back and patient. I have found that my patience is what helps me in helping students comprehend the information they are learning. I teach to every learning style and intelligence. I believe all children can learn much more than we expect of them, they just have to be taught the way they learn. Diversity is what makes our world go around, and that is what I teach to my students. Growing up, I never thought that I would want to be a teacher. After taking a job as a Childcare Counselor with the YMCA, I realized the I was meant to teach and work with children. I have been working with the YMCA for close to three years. I graduated from Manatee Community College with my Assoc

Coming from a family where my parents were both educators, no worder why education was so important for us kids growing up. First,I experienced teaching as a teenager leading catechism classes in the Catholic Church for a couple of years. I remember loving it. Later on, I had a change of heart and felt in love with teaching again. I started as a teacher aide, helping ESOL students. When I saw how much I could help them, it made all the worth of the world. Now, after certification and 10 years teaching, with all the ups and downs, there are always students that I can help in any way, from learning a subject to even in a personal matter, and when I acomplished that, I feel satisfaction and a sense of work well done. I am always learning and improving myself to give to the class and my students all what is available and interesting for them. I am very creative and energetic, and I try to br

Serving as a teacher over the last 24 years has provided me with the experience to inspire, encourgage and motivate my students to learn with enjoyment. Working with international students has developed strong and diverse teaching and interactive skills. My work has involved students of all ages and cultural backgrounds, which has inspired me to be creative and innovative according to each student's strengths and skill. My teaching style is derived from learned skills, exchange of ideas with colleagues and personal study of language. It is a flexible customized style. I have a degree in music from Boston University. Languages have been my passion throughout my schooling. I studied 5 years of Latin, 3 years of French through high school, then went on in colerge with 1 year each of German, French and Italian. I lived Germany for 13 years where I was employed at the Ferguson Language Insti

I like to make my classes fun and game like. I use different methods for remembering such as how to apply photographic memory as well as music and lyrics. I also like the use or repetition in order to memorize. I like to give weekly tests on the subjects studied and implementing the reward system. You do well on the test, you get a reward. (These rewards I have always asked the parents permission, examples are candy, toys or fun trips, movies, etc). I have a BS in Intntl Communications and Journalism and specialized in PR and Advertising. I carried out these studies in both Spain and the US. This experience gave me the opportunity to perfect various languages, to adapt to other cultures and to work in different environments. I began studying Aviation and Biology which gave me extent knowledge in many areas (math and science as well as the military). Writing research papers and lab r

As a University of Delaware graduate and a current MBA student I pride myself on my education. Throughout my carreer as a competative figure skater, education has been a priority and I feel it is the foundation to a person's successes in every aspect of life. Studying art history in college I was able to gain extensive experience in research and writing as well as a variety of basic college level courses in every subject. In highschool I excelled at math and science and was able to become more diverse in college with my writing skills. I have also done research across the world for the University of Delaware leadership program as well as the University of California Los Angeles archaeology program. I enjoy teaching children of all ages. With the continuous stress on academic achievement it is of great importance to excel at every level. I believe everyone has their strengths and weakness

I have often been told that I am a "natural-born" educator. Teaching has always been my passion, and I know this passion comes through whenever, and whatever, I am teaching. Whether I am working with children or adults, I use humor and personal life experiences to help my students feel comfortable, not only with me as their educator, but with the subject that we are discussing. I truly believe that each student possesses an individual learning style which should be identified, and targeted, during the teaching process. Finally, my teaching style consistently incorporates student participation since all human beings, both children and adults, learn by "doing". Shortly after receiving my degrees, I started my own child care center in New York, and directly operated it for 10 years. In 1989, I worked at Lutheran Medical Center as Director of Community Programs. In this role, I opened

Throughout my studies I have learned that all students learn differently. When teaching in a classroom, I will have to discover the way each student learns individually. An important aspect of my teaching experience has been to get down on that students level, and look at the struggles each student has in the classroom. I modify lessons in order to have each student adapt them to his or her own learning style. I believe that each student is willing to learn, but needs to discover the best learning style suitable to their abilities. As an English Education major, I have had numerous encounters in the classroom with each of my classroom practicums. After completing my degree in the fall of 2009, I will have over three semesters of classroom experience, working with students from the sixth grade to the twelfth grade. I have also worked as a childcare provider for several years, in add

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference to a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. Finnaly, I am a humanistic teacher that belive in the Bloom's Taxonomy and use tecnological integration with many other tools to teach.

I've been teaching public speaking at Iowa State for 8 years (Mostly public speaking, but also T.A.'ed Semantics & Gender Communications). I specialized in high anxiety speakers. Also tutored minority ISU football players for 10 years. I have taught time management, personality/learning styles, and study skills. The most rewarding part of both positions was directly linked to my PhD work in social justice education. This allowed me to individually guide each student (usually 60 each semester) to try to over come any limitations put upon them by themselves or society in regards to race, gender, socio-ecomic status, self esteem, etc. I am dedicated to helping all students learn valuable communication skills, become more compassionate of others, confident in their critical thinking, and hopeful about their futures. I create a nurturing and safe environment of mutual respect that conti
