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 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 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.

Teaching is my passion and I thoroughly enjoy working with children. I especially enjoy working independently with children to help their social and academic needs. I strongly believe all children can learn; the mission is finding out HOW they learn. I believe once a child learns HOW they are unique, and how they learn, then they will become life long learners and will become eager and confident to learn. Creating a confident life long learner is my goal. I seek to first identify strengths in every child and use that as my foundation to build their knowledge upon. 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 st

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, is to make them feel smart and give them positive affirmation when they learn something and reach a goal. I try to make lessons and tutoring sessions fun, by letting them express themselves and getting to know them, but also getting down to business when it is time to. 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 st

I'm currently attending American Military University, with less than a year to graduate with a bachelor degree in Public Health, which allows me to have a better understanding in health science related subjects. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers. In addition I have experience in teaching, coaching and mentoring soldiers in the United States Army as a squad leader. Each child learns in different ways, and as a Tudor/teacher it is my responsibility to discover the method of teaching that matches a child’s way of learning. I am patient, understanding and provide a constructive approach to learning. All children have the potential of learning; some simply require a different method and approach to grasp the information and it is my duty to provide such approach.

It is my belief that every child has the potential to learn at their own pace, with the correct understanding of their needs and potential to develop. I really enjoy getting to know the students, while establishing a cordial and respectful environment, where he or she feels comfortable and encouraged at all times. Two of the techniques I practice as a professional in this amazing career are organization and establishing clear objectives. In my extensive experience, I’ve found these two to be extremely helpful in preparing students to achieve success along their way. My ultimate goal is to provide all my students with tools that will give them confidence, build up their self-esteem, and feel pride on all they have accomplished.

As a college graduate, I was ready ti conquer the world with my BA in Communications, but once I begin to think about what I truly wanted to do with my life, I begin to also look into childcare. I begin at USAA Child Development Center for almost two years. I felt so comfortable with the kids and I relished in the fact of being able to mold their minds to learn their abc's and 123'. I knew right then, this is going to be my career. I went on to Hillsborough County Headstart program, where I taught 3-5 year old for almost two yearss as well. It was definitely a challenge, but it was a learning experiencr. After that I moved on to becoming a kindergarten teacher for walton academy for the performing arts and I stayed there for five years.

My teaching style involves patience and finding out what exactly the student is not grasping, and figuring out how each individual learns. Each person responds to different styles of teaching and learning, and finding the correct form for the student is crucial to the success of the student. It is so satisfying seeing a child’s confidence rise when they realize they have grasped a concept that they have struggled with for so long. I have many years of elementary reading tutoring experience. This started at a young age, as my mother was an elementary public school remedial reading teacher. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a private school, which left me with certain vacation times differing. Rather than getting a sitter and have me stay home my mother took me to her school with her to have me assist and help out with the students and their reading difficulties. This in tur
