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

I really enjoy tutoring and I hope I can find the right job.

Throughout my professional and educational experience I have had the opportunity to mentor and teach others around me. That is how I developed a love for teaching and helping others succeed academically and professionally. As a volunteer teacher I have had the opportunity to teach diverse groups of students, from many ethnic and social backgrounds. I have a strong passion to educate, inspire, and motivate young minds. I have extensive knowledge of all Microsoft Office tools, web applications, interactive learning applications and games, and clear understanding of current school curriculum. I am well prepared to educate your child, and help her/him achieve her/his maximum potential and goals. I firmly believe that any child when taught with patience, love, dedication, and given quality, individualized learning time, will rise and shine. I like to actively engage my student’s minds by i

I truly believe that an educator's own passion for teaching and life-long learning encourages the student to strive to meet their own academic potential. By introducing and explaining material in an exciting, patient, and positive manner, I have seen students excel beyond expectation. As a student, I witnessed and experienced individuals struggling with different material and with different teaching styles. Therefore, as an educator, I implement a flexible and creative teaching style. I present material on an individualized basis that may incorporate visual-based, auditory-based, engaged, and/or discovery-based teaching methods. In this way, I hope to best accommodate your child's own personal learning style. During the past sixteen years, I have not only strived for academic excellence, but have also enjoyed a passion for learning and educating. My recent graduation from the University

In addition to my BS and AS degree, I hold 9 credit hours of post-graduate coursework in Elementary Education. My professional credits include recruiting for a top level pharmaceutical firm, as well as a credit card bank. I have also worked as a substitute teacher in elementary schools for grades K through 5. Additionally, I have served as a reading mentor for a third grade student for 2 years. Finally, I have served my community for over 10 years as a dancing instructor of ballet, tap, and jazz dance. Because I believe each student's learning style is different, I adapt my teaching style to coincide with the learner. I am a very versatile teacher, who approaches each student in a way that encourages them to interact, and learn hands on. I believe that each child should be encouraged to face thier challenges, and that they should embrace the learning experience. Overall, I make my

I really enjoy teaching and tutoring because not only am I helping others, I am learning as well. Teaching and tutoring are about giving: giving your time, your knowledge, and the things that you know will help your students. Every student learns at his/her own pace. My teaching style is adaptive to the particular student and subject matter. I like to encourage students to learn for themselves. An example would be to explain a theory and then have the student(s) demonstrate their understanding of that theory with a concrete example, so that they are participating in the process. I like the idea of learning by participation. 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 T

Teaching is very rewarding to me because I love the feeling I get from knowing that I have made a real and positive impact in someone's education and life. Understandably, learning new ideas or skills can be incredibly daunting to children, teenagers, and young adults alike, but I think that this is where I have a real knack for teaching. Not only am I patient, friendly, and thoughtful, I have the ability to reduce a complicated topic or problem into more easily defined parts. By attacking a problem in this manner, I allow the student to follow my lead, while learning a method by which to solve future problems. This ensures that the student is thinking creatively, critically, and analytically, for himself or herself. My goal is to provide him or her with self-confidence and to make learning fun for the student, so that he or she can reach his or her potential. For many years, I have

I am very fond of the unit study method that helps students work all aspects of certain skills in one concentrated subject. For instance, studying restaurants and working on math, spelling, descriptive writing, science and nutrition all in one lesson. Being creative yet organized is my style. I like to let the students lead the direction of some of the instruction while providing enough structure to insure successful acquisition of skills. Goals are more easily met when there is a good student teacher relationship. Relationship and trust are the key in my experiences with students. 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.

After getting my bachelor's degree in liberal studies, with a focus in Communications and Marketing, I found myself wanting more. I became certified in Elementary Education K-6 and began teaching first grade. In addition, I have a high school aged brother that is homeschooled. He at times needs help with his studies and I tutor him in Math, Science and English at home. My teaching style is energetic and over the top. I like to think back to when I was in school and the subjects that stuck out to me, and why. It was because I was having fun learning, and that is how I try to approach each of my lessons. I relate them to real world situations if possible and try to put a personal spin on my lessons. What would make this lesson relative to the person who is trying to learn it? Children are so wonderful to be around and the smile they put on my face when they have grasped a new concept is pr

In addition to my already expansive coursework in philosophy, I took courses in computer science, chemistry and English literature. This breadth of exposure has given me a unique base of knowledge on which to draw for teaching. I have tutored many subjects throughout the last seven years, including most college-level math, sciences and arts. During the past year, I have held both a software training position at the University of South Florida, and an instructor position for Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions, which have together led to unprecedented confidence in the classroom. The key to enjoyment and success in any subject lies in the student realizing how the material relates to their life. This can be revealed to them in various ways, usually through demonstration of practical applications or hypothetical extrapolation of situational relevance. But I have found that the communicati

I love working with children. I have a great deal of patience and know the importance of skill progression. Teaching students the basics of mathematics, reading, and writing are crucial to their success in later education. I am a very hands-on instructor. Each student is unique and needs a teaching style that is best suited for their strengths. My goal as a teacher is to better my students and give them a passion for learning. Education is important and it is crucial that students learn early that education can be fun. I am currently obtaining a MA. in Elementary Education. I have future plans of obatining a PH.D. I have a BA in Liberal Studies with minors in Sports and Recreation as well as Hospitality Management.

While in college, I served as a volunteer and a tutor for adults earning their GED, for elementary students in an after-school program, and for migrant youths learning to speak English. After graduating with a BS in Sociology and Anthropology, I began a career in social services which offered me further opportunity to work with diverse populations and improve my skills for assessing people's needs and priorities. Three years ago, I eagerly transitioned to teaching beginning my new career as a math and science teacher and working particularly with ESE students. I quickly advanced to Education Manager in which I wrote Individual Education Plans, tested students, and attended to numerous other tasks to ensure the success of the students. I now work as a life coach in which I motivate and encourage students and adults to expect more from themselves and from life. I believe that when teachers

The Socratic method of teaching has been instilled in me as the most engaging and successful approach to learning. Through a series of deliberate, well-directed, leading questions from a tutor, the student arrives at the "answer" through his or her own reasoning process, as opposed to getting the answer through a tutor spitting out information. This approach builds confidence in the student, rather than dependence on the tutor, as the student receives a model of the learning process that they will ultimately be able to implement themselves. I believe that this approach, utilized by a tutor such as myself who is patient and encouraging, will never fail. 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.
