How To Start a Conversation and Make New Friends. Ice Breaker, Friend Maker.

Hello! 
I'm Teacher Cynthia.   I have taught Pre K-3 through college level Criminal Law courses.  I am a state certified teacher with a Physical Education and an ESL endorsement and also a public school Moral Focus teacher.  I am a certified professional life coach with a specialization in mindfulness and behavior and trauma. I have taught online for over 4 years, and have over 15 years experience in the classroom.  I was the Albion College Varsity cheer coach, as well as a cheerleader for 3 different colleges and universities.  I have owned my own dance and cheer studio, where I taught and developed the routines.  I also sewed all the costumes for recitals and have a thriving dance costume business.
I have a very diverse background, due to my love of learning.  I have been to Law school, Nursing school and have studied for my Master's in Education.  I am a professional life skills coach who also has a background in College Admissions and Guidance at Lincoln College of Technology.  I have worked with at risk youth as a juvenile probation officer, fraudulent claims officer for State Farm Insurance, recreational therapist and also a SED teacher for severely emotionally disturbed children.  I have studied psychology for child development and also abnormal psychology.  I studied ASL in depth and have become fluent and have taught it to young learners.  I have enjoyed communicating effectively with a deaf friend who also increased my fluency and understanding of deaf culture.  Through my University studies and extensive professional development, I have been able to help many children recognize how to refocus and lead a better life.
It is my desire to bring my passion and love of learning to your child.  As I continue to grow within this company, I will be adding on more ASL Sign Language classes, as well as Cheerleading, Dance, Science, Sewing and many, many other exciting, creative and enriching classes for young people.  I look forward to making your child enthused about learning, and tapping into their creative style.  I have a very positive and upbeat classroom where every child can thrive.
