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

I have been teaching dance for four years, ranging from groups of 20 young students to private sessions for adults. I typically work with children and am experienced with large groups. I currently teach Ballet and Tap at Ajala Essence Dance Studio in Lansdowne, PA. I was the Performance Coordinator at Abington Friends Summer Enrichment Program in Jenkintown, PA. In addition, I have taught Hip Hop and Jazz at multiple intercity programs. I have also volunteered free Salsa lessons to adults. No matter the technique, I always start with a thorough warm up. I begin with relaxing exercises and lead into more rigorous and conditioning exercises. I then move on to teaching and reviewing the technique. I always make sure the client has a basic understanding of the form before moving onto more advance movement. I end with repertory/choreography to further develop the clients understanding of the

I am a college student who pursues a plethora of creative pursuits with much passion. I am finishing up my bachelor's in Fine Arts and Graphic Design, and will soon be marketing myself as a freelancing designer for the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Before college, I taught myself the entire Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, and how to build websites. This has always been in the direction that I have been interested, and I want to give that passion and knowledge to those who see themselves going in a similar direction. No student is built the same way. As a tutor, I mold my style to the needs of my students.

In both my tutoring and teaching, I firmly believe in change. If I walk into a low energy classroom of students slouching in desks, the first thing I do is ask them to stand up. If I am tutoring a student who struggles with vocabulary, he and I will work to find a completely new way to study. In accordance with this concept of change, I also concentrate on adapting myself to the mood and personality of my student or students. While my natural inclination is still to prepare and overprepare for any teaching assignment, six years in the classroom have taught me that I must be willing to throw out the lesson plan and change if the student is not receptive. Ultimately, my goal is to motivate students and provide them with a variety of tools to help them succeed. I have extensive experience teaching language-based skills to both native and non-native English speakers. My first teachi

I have always been a lifelong learner, and I see tutoring as an extension of my desire to consistently review and engage with all academic material. The liberal arts education that I received at Scripps College set the standard to appreciate and learn a variety of subjects. I received two bachelor degrees, BA in Art History and BA in French, but also spent considerable time taking math and science courses. My writing skills also significantly developed during this time, and particularly came to full fruition during my graduate work in Art History. For both my BA and MA degrees, I had to produce unique, independently researched theses that were at least 12,000 words in length. Since then, I have delved into the sciences at the University of Pennsylvania, where I completed all necessary pre-medical coursework. I have also been working with special needs children in Philadelphia public

Throughout my teaching experiences I have had the opportunity to work with numerous students with a variety of learning styles. My undergraduate experiences in Inclusive Education have influenced my beliefs in differentiating instruction, as I feel that my responsibility as a teacher is to adapt and modify instruction to best fit the needs of all my students. I feel very strongly that every student should be given the chance to learn in a safe environment where teaching strategies are implemented that include individual's strengths in order to best support their needs. In addition, I find it essential to motivate and encourage students in all subject areas. My past experiences as a studying elementary and special education teacher include multiple classroom settings in both urban and suburban school districts. My time spent in numerous classroom settings has motivated me to value teachin

I like to see how much of what they are learning they currently understand and use that to help them put the rest of the pieces together. I learn from them how they learn and do my best to assist them in that way. Repetition and visual aids are usually the way I approach tutoring otherwise. I think helping them see what we are doing and the progress they have made through repeated exercises reinforces what they know and helps them retain better that they do not. I was introduced to spanish at the age of 4, and after having structured training in a classroom which began in middle school, I have almost 14 years of spanish under my belt. I have learned the basics, studied literature and studied abroad in Mexico where I used my spanish during volunteer work at an orphanage when I was not in class.

I have a passion for helping children! Each child learns in a different way, and as teachers it is our job to meet the student where they are. I am patient, and helpful, while still pushing the student to do their best. My goal is to help students develop a love for learning. As a college graduate, I value the importance of education. I've earned a bachelor degree- a Bs in Biology where I've gained knowledge of science and math. In addition, I also have a Teacher's Certification for Elementary Education in a Hebrew school setting from Midrashah Junior College. Over the past 12 years, I've tutored students in basic Hebrew, Bar and Bat Mitzvah practice, elementary, and middle school math and science.
