“Make the most of yourself for that is all there is of you.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let's explore that part of you that is on the prowl to answer the “ how’s and why’s”. That is where our journey will unfold.
Visualizing your goals as a whole is the basis of my teaching approach. I implore my resources to reconcile the challenges of online learning to foster communication, inclusion, and interaction online. I aspire to forge a rapport that grants your trust and belief in your ability to express your ideas. It is always a bit sad to say goodbye to students, but them walking away with strong foundations, developed skill sets and the ability to expand on them in the future is what I support.
Biography
Writing biographies are so tedious! I’m here to talk about YOU not me but here goes.
Experience
I’ve logged 1,000 hours online in 1-on-1, and group sessions of 6 with a 9.65 average rating. For my consistency, I was selected to teach the Oxford University Press Children Series. Being inspired by and delighting in shared experiences with my students ignites my addiction to teaching.
I’ve seized volunteer opportunities as a Teaching Assistant with after-school music, summer camps and other teaching programs. I’m a big believer in being proactive. In addition, 8 years in Home Health with adults and children with physical and mental disabilities has had an overwhelming influence on my philosophies toward communication and personal kinships.
Music is an immense passion of mine that continually lavishes me with a wealth of transferable skills to explore creative solutions. I’ve done this by appropriating IPA for German, French and Italian, vocal pedagogy and my opera background to tackle diction issues. Working with Music and Drama Therapists in Barrier Free Theater acting troupe for adults with physical and mental disabilities to brainstorm and stage a musical starring them, has given me an insight into the effectiveness of group collaboration and preparedness.
