2) I have over five years of experience teaching English as a second language online with VIPKid for kids ages 5 through 15. I have over 3 years of experience teaching performing arts classes (acting, dancing, art, singing) in summer school programs at community colleges for kids ages 5 through 15. I also have experience as a Club Counselor at Club Libby Lu where I lead birthday party groups of 3 to 12 children in ages ranging from 5 to 15 years old in costume dress-up selection, hair and make-up application, teaching dance choreography, and leading the birthday party group in a birthday sing-a-long and dance party performance. I have extensive experience teaching children ages 5 through 15 in a fun and encouraging way that helps them develop proficiency in their skills and build their confidence to apply their new knowledge. Through my accumulated experiences, I have cultivated a fun, engaging, and supportive teaching style that builds the confidence and proficiency of children in their respective skills.

I also have a Bachelor’s Degree in General Business (BSBA) from the University of Central Florida (Orlando, FL), acquired in May 2011. I am also a member of SAG-AFTRA, the professional actor and singer's union since 2017 which covers worldwide professional performer protections. In addition, since 2017, I have had a TESOL-VIPKid Foundational teaching certificate, K-12 English (ELA), K-12 English (ESL), and Adult English teaching certifications. I am also bilingual and speak Spanish fluently which provides me the ability to offer my lessons in Spanish as well. 

3) My teaching philosophy involves creating a classroom environment where each student feels supported and encouraged to be creative and explore their own ideas and artistic expression. I believe this encouragement to be creative builds self-confidence in each student and I believe that a confident student is one that continues to strive to learn and will excel. 

4) Something fun, personal and funny about me is that I love to clean while listening, dancing, and singing to music! I love being able to live and work in a clutter free and clean environment because I think such an environment allows for creativity to flow more freely.

Thank you,
Coach Zee,
