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

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

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

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 communication of my own passion for learning is the most powerful tool I have in activating a student's interest. No matter how negative they might have been to the material initially, they are invariably set at ease in the presence of a charismatic instructor, who is not only thoroughly knowledgeable on the subject, but also enjoys the study of it immensely. 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 h

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 change. It's fun to work with special needs children because their thinking and learning styles are so unique. You can virtually see their minds working in interesting fashions. Hands on is another key I employ. For example if I want teach someone a software program I will have them drive while I guide them. Another factor is getting to know the student and gaining trust. They must feel free to discuss their interests and dislikes so you can steer them in positive directions. To find natural talents and help them realize their full potential is one of my major goals. Watching students learn to believe in themselves is rewarding beyond money. Teaching teaches me love and inspiration. Anything is possible. Currently I work at an alternat

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. As a historian, I have been t

When I graduated with a Spanish major, I took the route to become certified as a teacher. I took graduate courses in education while working as a teacher. I was a world language teacher and taught Spanish to 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 7th grade students. I enjoyed my experience as a teacher. My teaching style uses technolgy to reach my students, using computers, digital cameras and media to capture the children's mind. Once you have their attention you can teach them whatever you like for a period of time. I also find competition to be affective.

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 of Notre Dame illustrates this passion. Although I earned my BA in Political Science, I supplemented my liberal arts education with business, math, and sciences courses. Therefore, I have developed both my writing, research, and critical thinking skills, and my ability to solve complex technical and analytical problems. As a result of this exposure to a variety of fields of study, I am able to understand, appreciate,apply, and explain a diverse set of skills and concepts. I have tutored students in reading, and upper level mathematics and english courses for four years. I truly believe that an educator's own passion for teaching and life-long learning encourages the student to strive to meet their own acad

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.
