If the class is reluctant or unsure, we will write a story together taking turns building the story one sentence at a time using the chat feature. At the end of class, if students choose to, they can read their creations aloud so we can congratulate them. I have been teaching for 24 years, have English Education certification, and have published a book--but my main strength is helping students feel confident and safe enough to create with their own words. This will be a warm, welcoming and non-intimidating place to practice writing.

Hello! I've been teaching theatre for 26 years and I was also a children's performer for ten of those years. I own a theatre program and I put on a show after every 20 hours of instruction (almost 60 shows in six years!). I teach children ages 3-20. I've been teaching in some capacity since 1996: public, private, homeschool, online.
I believe EVERYONE needs and wants to be creative and expressive. Sydney Clemens says "Art has the role in education of helping children become like themselves instead of more like everyone else" and my goal is to allow students a safe place to explore and shine and comfortably be themselves.Reviews
