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

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.

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

I love teaching and working with all age groups. I get excited when I see someone else get as excited about learning as I am. I am always willing and able to help someone strive for excellence. I am a patient individual and a firm believer in hands on learning and seeing that there is more to education than theory. I strive to make a difference in the lives of those that I teach. As a engineering student at The University of Alabama, I have been privileged to participate in the Freshman Engineering Program as a mentor. The role of this position is to aid in teaching freshman engineering classes, grading class assignments, and to serve as a student mentor for advising. I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in this program and really enjoy seeing student overcome something in which they have struggled with.

I currently hold a bachelor of science degree in biology and also have obtained a minor in chemistry. The major subject areas taught in my college curriculum where biology, chemistry, math, and physics. I feel that I am completely comfortable in teaching any one of the subjects. In the past five years I have been a CPR/first aid instructor for future lifeguards. At the end of twenty four hour training class each student was required to pass a test with an 80% or better.In addition to this, during my last two college years I tutored college and high school students on a volunteer basis. These students where tutored mostly in Chemistry, Biology, and Math ranging from algebra to trigonometry. 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 abi

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

Salut! I used both teacher-centered and student-centered styles because although coaching and facilitating a student in understanding the language, having the knowledge of which countries speak the language and the different terminology used by each countries can be a benefit to a student. I believe in interaction and practice of the language on the daily basis. It takes time to learn a new language but with practice, perfection follows. Anyone can speak a new language and my best reward is to see the achievement in all my student. If I demonstrate my passion and love for it, then they will enjoy learning it and have fun while doing so. It is not a matter of a teacher's knowledge but how to pass that knowledge to the student. 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

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

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

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. Through a series of deliberate, well-directed, leading questions from a tutor, the student

As a gymnastics coach, I teach children about how their body works, basic science and physics concepts. For younger kids, I also include numbers, colors and coordination. I believe that when concepts are explained in a physical or unique way, the retention of that information is better. My teaching and tutoring experiences have involved learning about simple machines by creating levers with our bodies, reviewing counting, percentages and money through Monopoly, and improving writing by comparing and contrasting articles on current events printed by different newspapers. I do not use common classroom practices in teaching. Activity and creativity are at the heart of learning. When learning is fun, children will retain concepts and not constantly ask, "Why am I learning this?" I try to create a practical way to use concepts learned in school. Here are a few examples.

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

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
