Jazz Dancing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Eustis, 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.

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

Because I believe each student's learning style is different, I adapt my teaching style to coincide with the learner. I am a very versatile teacher, who approaches each student in a way that encourages them to interact, and learn hands on. I believe that each child should be encouraged to face thier challenges, and that they should embrace the learning experience. Overall, I make my classroom a fun place, where learning is engaging and interactive. In addition to my BS and AS degree, I hold 9 credit hours of post-graduate coursework in Elementary Education. My professional credits include recruiting for a top level pharmaceutical firm, as well as a credit card bank. I have also worked as a substitute teacher in elementary schools for grades K through 5. Additionally, I have served as a reading mentor for a third grade student for 2 years. Finally, I have served my community for ov

I am very fond of the unit study method that helps students work all aspects of certain skills in one concentrated subject. For instance, studying restaurants and working on math, spelling, descriptive writing, science and nutrition all in one lesson. Being creative yet organized is my style. I like to let the students lead the direction of some of the instruction while providing enough structure to insure successful acquisition of skills. Goals are more easily met when there is a good student teacher relationship. Relationship and trust are the key in my experiences with students. 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.

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

As a teacher and tutor, my goal is to give children the one-on-one attention they need, while increasing their level of understanding. I believe that it is important to incorporate creativity and excitement into learning. Many children have the ability to learn difficult subjects, but lack focus. It is important to find methods that work for each student as an individual. I have a great deal of patience and compassion which puts the students at ease while they are taking on new and difficult tasks. In May of 2005, I graduated with a BA in Music from California Baptist University. Through my extensive studies and focus, I have gained a broad range of knowledge in each core subject. Over the past year I have tutored students in various subjects including Algebra, Geometry, US History, English, Writing Skills, Study Skills, and basic Elementary skills. My students have ranged from the ages

I am a teacher who realizes all students can improve if they receive motivation and instruction appropriate to their specific circumstance. I believe it is important to encourage individuality, creativity, critical thinking, and determination in all subject areas. Ideally, every assignment should be relevant and challenging, but tempered with access to a patient teacher. After graduating with a degree in Elementary Education in 2001, I taught 2nd grade for one year. As a first year teacher, I completed the Teacher Induction Program, also known as the TIP Program. Additionally, I took and passed the following state exams: Professional Ed, Elementary Ed, and Middle Grades Mathematics. A desire to to attain specific math certification arose when I relocated to a different county and accepted a position teaching middle school math. I enjoyed this position very much, but resigned upon the

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

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.

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 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

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 aloud in front of their peers. 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

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

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 priceless. 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
