I enjoy teaching immensely! :)
I had the opportunity to start when I was 15 years old as a student teacher for a local summer school class. My teachers told me I'd be great for I have TONS of patience and really connect with all children even on the spectrum and EBD. I then went on to create an apprenticeship program in high school primarily focusing on early childhood education. I completed this, went into college and then was given yet another opportunity to share my teaching gift. I wanted to expand my horizon and work with even more youth to show them self esteem, to believe in themselves, teach them confidence, and that they can accomplish anything they put their minds to, I then opened my Community Theater for the Arts. I produce and direct both musicals and plays, for 20+years. I work and teach camps for ages 2-90 years old. Teaching is a STRONG passion of mine. I believe education can be fun, and as a teacher I am given the opportunity to shape the child's future through education. What a gift it is to have students coming back year after year and upon graduation seeking me out to say thanks. I enjoy the arts, and spending time with family and friends and my new little 7 month old little 5 pound puppy. She may or may not show up for a little incentive at the end of our session. I truly hope I get to work with your child, we will have FUN learning no mater what subject it may be. I've even substitute taught from pre-k through 12th grade and enjoyed it all. :) I look forward to working with your child for many sessions to come :)
