Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Parents!
My name is Kristalyn Aubry and I will be teaching a range of gymnastics classes. Classes will include drills, skills, strength training, and techniques and how they translate to life lessons such as perseverance, self-motivation, and teamwork. I was a gymnast for 10 years and a coach for 8 years. I attended Alabama School of Fine Arts with the focus of Visual Arts and Performing Arts.
My philosophy is to spread my love of art making and movement through gymnastics. I want to connect with learners through activities that encourage life skills such as patience and endurance. My goal is to motivate learners who are trying to find their voice through different mediums of art and physical activities. The experiences they take from my class I hope students can store in the tool box they take along with them in their journey through life. I apply my values in the classroom by remembering that each learner is different and their learning style is unique which is why my classes are mixed with videos, discussions, and activities that encourage student feedback to ensure their understanding on subjects. I look forward to working with your child!
