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

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

All people learn differently, whether it's visually, orally, kinesthetically, or through the written word. My first goal is to connect with my student's learning type by asking a few questions, and testing different communication techniques. My number one goal is to keep my student's trust, attention, and self-confidence high. Always reinforce with praise, and always break things down step by step, so frustrataion has little room to grow. Calm the waters, then let them try new sails; reinforce with smiles and praise. My education and experience background is varied and interesting. My B.S. degree in Geography earned me skills research, math, critical thinking, communication, and mapping. I also took a heavy load of biology and kinesiology (exercise science) courses because of personal interest. I have excellent teaching skills which have allowed me to teach in a variety of environments

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

I believe that when teachers raise their expectations of students, the students rise to that level of expectation. All students have the capacity to excel in any subject although their style of learning may differ from other students. When educators take care to find out about a student, including what interests and motivates him, the student is more likely to have successes in class if the educator use the information to hers and the student's advantage. Once a student begin to have successes, they will definitely look forward to performing well and building on that success. As a teacher, I believed that every child, regardless of background, deserved the very best education and should be constantly reminded of the unlimited possibilities that exist so they do not settle for less. While in college, I served as a volunteer and a tutor for adults earning their GED, for elementary students

As a engineering student at The University of Alabama, I have been privileged to participate in the Freshman Engineering Program as a mentor. The role of this position is to aid in teaching freshman engineering classes, grading class assignments, and to serve as a student mentor for advising. I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in this program and really enjoy seeing student overcome something in which they have struggled with. I love teaching and working with all age groups. I get excited when I see someone else get as excited about learning as I am. I am always willing and able to help someone strive for excellence. I am a patient individual and a firm believer in hands on learning and seeing that there is more to education than theory. I strive to make a difference in the lives of those that I teach.

I currently hold a bachelor of science degree in biology and also have obtained a minor in chemistry. The major subject areas taught in my college curriculum where biology, chemistry, math, and physics. I feel that I am completely comfortable in teaching any one of the subjects. In the past five years I have been a CPR/first aid instructor for future lifeguards. At the end of twenty four hour training class each student was required to pass a test with an 80% or better.In addition to this, during my last two college years I tutored college and high school students on a volunteer basis. These students where tutored mostly in Chemistry, Biology, and Math ranging from algebra to trigonometry. Teaching is an art that many people find difficult. I am a firm believer that through a good education students can have a future in whatever career field they choose. In essence, a teacher has the abi

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 of 6 to 16 years of age. I have also been working as a substitute teacher for the past year. 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

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.

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.

Currently I work at an alternative school for students with learning disabilities and behavioral problems teaching Math and Art. Although there is no art program, I voluntarily head up art contests and help students paint murals on the campus. My degrees are in Computer Information Systems, French, and Spanish. After being a Computer Programmer for five years, I decided to become more involved with education. I've taught Math at City College, ESOL at Valencia Community College, and all subjects in elementary schools. I've voluntarily tutored disadvantaged children at a local church and helped my sisters with their homework for years. Overall, I'm a jack-of-all-trades and enjoy discovering the many unique ways students think and learn. 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
