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

When teaching I often utilize imagery and visuals to aide in comprehension. In all cases I asses the individual's learning style and apply strategies complimentary to that style. I have a wealth of experience with ages 5 through adult in multiple areas of turoring both academic and extra curricular such as dance. I have coordinated educational and arts programs as a Program Director of a Boys and Girls Club & Arts Academy as well assisted individuals one on one in after school and day programs. I also have experience with individuals with disabilities and behavioral problems and obtained a minor in Behavioral Healthcare through the Univ. of South Florida.

I look at each student as an individual with specific learning styles that they respond best to. My goal is to identify the learning style or styles of your student and then apply my creative mind to finding ways to present information. Positive reinforcement has given me the best success with students through the years. I believe there are no stupid questions and assess continually until I know that a concept has been grasped. Celebrations of milestones and victories are a large part of what I do as I believe self-esteem and failure can be the biggest obstacle a student must overcome. As a graduate of Humboldt State University with a BA and a 2 year post-graduate certificate to teach, I have been led through an array of opportunities over 28 years. I have dealt with special needs children, teens, preschoolers, elementary children and taught any subject placed in front of me. In ad

All children are capable of meeting and or exceeding potential expectations if given the chance. Every child is different and must be evaluated in such manner to meet and exceed these expectations. Students given diverse learning experiences find they are more confident and are more willing to strive to meet and exceed these expectations. As an educator, I strive to bring out this confidence and passion in my students. I currently have completed 7 years in the North Carolina school system with a documented record of success as a middle school Theatre Arts and Dance teacher. I will be settled in Tampa, FL within the next month. In college, I worked for the Dean of Academic Affairs, initially conducted tasks for a photographer, local top 40 radio station, NBC and FOX affiliate upon graduation, and have done promotional modeling throughout the years.

I have recently graduated from college with the skills and knowledge of how to teach children. I have earned a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education. I have been student teaching for the past year. However, I have also completed several practicums within the school district. I have worked with children my entire life as a nanny, a coach, and volunteer. Teachers need to be well versed in being able to teach a lesson in every learning style. A teacher must be able to identify each student’s personality and niche for learning. Research has proven that students learn in a multitude of styles. It is vital for a teacher to take the time and assess how each student learns best. An effective teacher will then apply that information into every lesson to insure quality learning. Teachers must bridge the gap and provide opportunities for every child to be successful. By using Howard Gardner'

I have been in management for six years. In those six years, I have found the most rewarding part of my job is training new employees. In the past year, I have decided to change my career to teaching. I have passed the temporary certification exam for Middle Grade Mathematics, and have applied for the Hillsborough County Teacher's Job Fair in June. In my current job, I am a Peer Trainer, so I not only train my employees, but I train employees at and above my level. In my current job, I feel I am a strong trainer because I am able to determine people's learning styles. By determining their style, I am able to train them in the way that they will learn more quickly. In tutoring, I would have the skills to determine how the child will learn the information. Some children might work better by watching someone else solve the problem while explaining the steps. Some might learn by just

I believe all children can enjoy eating broccoli. I find this works best if the broccoli is smothered with cheese and accompanied on the plate with something fried. I have found that overeating is a very effective way to teach the student dangerous gastric consequences. I demonstrate this by ordering pizza, allowing them to eat as much as they want, and then immediately afterwards giving them free reign to various quarts of ice cream. I know I can make a difference in every students' stomach. After graduating cum laude from Yale University with a PhD in Eating, I interned for two years at Dunkin Donuts, fine tuning my skills in eating pastries. I've also spent two summers eating in various food malls, specializing in China One, Chick Fil-A, and Baskin Robins. I have tutored students Overeating, Pizza, and Alka Seltzer.

I enjoy teaching children of all ages. With the continuous stress on academic achievement it is of great importance to excel at every level. I believe everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and it is up to a teacher/tutor to find the patience to help their student discover not only their strengths but to strengthen their weaknesses as well. Education is the backbone to a well-developed, successful society and everyone should be given the opportunity to succeed in every aspect of it. As a University of Delaware graduate and a current MBA student I pride myself on my education. Throughout my carreer as a competative figure skater, education has been a priority and I feel it is the foundation to a person's successes in every aspect of life.
