Fun Facts

I love teaching and helping others carve out dreams and achieve them.
I have 24 years of dance training. I danced with a professional ballet company and more recently focus on contemporary dance.
All of my favorite work involves some instructional aspect. I taught swim lessons for many summers, have been substitute teaching/tutoring for nine years, and teach dance (ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, Zumba).
When I was a child, I studied piano, cello, and voice for about ten years.

About Me

I have been teaching/tutoring for nine years.
I teach at a private school in Dallas. I have more time during the summer for one-on-one tutoring.
I enjoy and am equally good at math and English.

Experience

I love helping students succeed and meet their goals. I have experience teaching a classroom of 30 students as well as working one-on-one toward individual student aims.
I have helped students successfully pursue entrance/placement testing for private high school and for college.

Approach

As a dancer and musician and having tutored for almost a decade, I have a particular appreciation for different learning styles and approaches. If movement and/or breathing exercises help a student feel calm and focused, that is wonderful.
I support what works for each student.
I encourage my students to find what supports their focus and goals, and I accommodate them.
I believe success will come if a student finds their confidence and is given carefully tailored educational instruction.
