I have danced since the age of five. From the age of fifteen until the start of my college career I competed nationally in jazz and tap dance. . I also worked professionally as a dancer for Theatre West Virginia. Since completing my Dance degree from UNC-Greensboro I have concentrated primarily on modern dance techniques, yoga, choreography, and performance. I am extremely patient and understanding. Being a yoga instructor has increased my skills in observing the body and addressing specific movement related needs.

I am a Dance teacher, choreographer and performer as well as a Yoga instructor. I've been dancing for over 20 years and teaching for about 10.

I have been teaching since 1990. I spent one year teaching English and Women's Studies at a private high school. At the college and high school level, I have taught dance which includes writing about dance, dance history, arts administration classes and theory classes. I also have extensive experience teaching and tutoring ESL students in the US and abroad. I view teaching not only as an extension of my creative work, but also as a continuation of my research of composition and performance. A good teacher is like a skilled composer, arranging and presenting ideas, crafting and shaping an environment where a student can best be challenged, and learn to challenge themselves. I teach in much the same way as I improvise; I bring to each class, indeed each student, an openness, compassion and commitment to the present moment. I am charismatic and inspire a joy and excitement about learni

Coming from the influence of a family of educators, I realized early on my affinity towards teaching. In addition to my college degrees, I have been very involved in the 'summer camp' experience. Over six summers, I worked with two summer camps to teach various physical and academic curricula to grade groups K-5, 6-8, 9-12. In graduate school, I was given the opportunity to spearhead a class of undergraduates, splitting lecture time with the professor. I am currently writing my thesis (under review of faculty) to be published on the "Architectural History of NC State University and the Areas Surrounding" it. During my time in university, I have tutored students in chemistry, astronomy, English, grammar, Spanish, math, history and several other general education elements. I believe that information accessibility should be emphasized and placed in bold. I would consider my style personable

I believe it is vital to approach each child with an open mind concerning their learning style, pace, and interest in various subjects. I use tools such as movement, song, rhythm, and sounds to open up a different path to understanding subjects like math, science, grammar, and many others. I believe giving children a bodily experience to relate to their academic learning allows for much more growth and it reduces frustration with themsleves when they don't understand lessons only taught through lecture or writing. I have a heavily arts-based education and teaching background. I taught for a year in an inner-city school teaching creative movement and dance technique. I have artist teacher training from the Lincoln Center Institute for Arts in Education and have been in-residence at several schools working with children by using the arts as the window to learn their academic curriculum

I earned a degree in Biology, which has fully equipped me for tutoring to children who have difficulties in any subject, but especially science. By being a Biology major I was exposed to all types of seminars, scientific research, labs and other various types of learning implements that have been beneficial in my teaching practices. In the past two years I have privately tutored two children from the ages of 5 and 7. I have tutored them in every subject from reading, and math to science projects. I have also worked at a preschool Kehillah Jewish Preschool with 4 and 5 year olds preparing them for kindergarten, which included phonics, reading, writing, number and letter recognition, pre-math skills such as measuring and sorting. Teaching is my passion I enjoy seeing the end result, when the student sees what they have accomplished. That is my reward. I understand that people in general u

I love working with all children. I enjoy changing my style to fit the specific need of the child and helping them in the way they learn the best. I want to be able to help them learn to become independent problem solvers. I want to help them become an asset to the team even when they are in the classroom and I am not there to coach them through that problem they can use what they have learned and be the best student in the class. I have graduated from North Carolina State University and earned a bachelors degree in Chemistry. While studying I have learned math and science as my forte but have also taken English, Spanish and history courses. I have written many reports in both my major classes and outside of them. I have been involved in many programs that help enhance children learning. I have worked diligently in the community specifically with underprivileged children to give t

In my last year of college I chose to complete my field placement research project at an accelerated junior high school for low income families. At this school I was in charge of the after-school science club. I helped the adolescents learn aspects of science they wouldn't learn in the classroom. We also competed at a state Science Olympic competition. I was also in charge of after-school homework centers as well as a science and math tutor. I love teaching adolescents. I think it is very fulfilling to watch a child obtain knowledge. I have a very hands-on teaching style. I like to work through all the problems and questions that the children have. I pride myself on using unique examples to explain complex problems and concepts.

While obtaining my Master's degree in Accounting, I worked as a Professor's Assistant which involved substitute teaching, research, and grading exams and homework. I have a natural ability in working with young people as well as exceptional communication, organization, presentation and people skills. As a Team Lead at IBM, I had many opportunities to train and teach others on computer systems, processes, policies and procedures, and many other issues. I have also volunteered as a mentor through IBM's Mentor Place program in the past and currently with Wake County Public Schools. I am very passionate about teaching and working with young people. I believe that creativity, patience, and excellent communication are vital to finding ways to help students learn and understand what they are learning.

Receiving a degree in English, I have always had a passion for reading and writing. I wanted to take my passion into the classroom and help students not only master the english language but learn to enjoy it as much as I do. I have been tutoring in Durham Public Schools for the past three years mostly in reading, writing, end-of-grade test prep, and also in math. I have found that there is nothing more rewarding than watching the progress of all the children I have worked with. I understand that all children learn at different rates and through different methods. A great teacher is one that can not only teach the material but motivate and inspire students to always want more out of their education. Patience, determination and a positive attitude are very important when working with a student. However, I have come to find that letting a child know that you believe in them works wonde

As an educator, I am not primarily concerned with what skill level one may be at at one particular time or another. What concerns me most is the student's willingness to try and I feel that that is harvested through a teacher's patience, encouragement, guidance, support and a willingness to try new approaches. I also feel that a positive attitude is one of the most valuable assets a teacher/tutor can bring to child's day. As a Physical Education and Health Education teacher, I have come to appreciate that all children operate in various ways. Some pick up on material sooner than others, while there are still those who are in need of support. In my tutoring experience, which has been a very positive experience, I have created various learning tools so that my students may achieve their maximum potential. Prior to settling into a Phys. Ed. career, I was also an English major who happe
