Jazz Dancing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Winter Springs, 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 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 critical thinking processes are much more valuable! 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 te

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

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 Texas I tutored women athletes. My teaching career began immediately after I finished graduate school in Austin, Texas. I taught in Austin for a year at Virginia College and then took a teaching job at the Florida Keys Community College. I was a Speech Teacher. Teaching students how to present themselves in verbal and written presentation was rewarding because I knew that I was preparing them for the future. Tutoring and teaching are great because both student and teacher learn; it's a two-way street. I really enjoy teaching and tutoring because not only am I helping others, I am learning as well.

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

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

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

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

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. My unique approach to reading which is to stimulate interest in subject areas in advance of presenting materials seems to work wonders for children with limited life experience. I have had some very good in service training in the area of math as well. My last principal hired a math coach for teachers that brought our ability to teach math to multiple levels, up to a very high standard. I feel very confident that I could make a great difference in the education of children who may be in high risk situations. I am very fond of the unit study method that helps students work all aspects of certain skills in one concentrated subject. For ins

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. I have a great deal of experience in the classroom setting as I have been doing observations and school lessons in the public school system. I am very well rounded and work best with younger students, as my area of expertise is in elementary education. 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 imp

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.

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. 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 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
