It will be helpful for me if you use the biggest screen you have and place it high, not on the floor, and have a good camera angle so I will be able to see what the learners are doing. CLASS RECORDING POLICY : I do not share recordings of my group classes in order to protect the privacy of all learners ( many parents do not feel comfortable with other families having access to videos that include their child). However, you are welcome to watch and participate with your child, OFF SCREEN, to comply with Outschool Policy, so that you can have access to the content.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano
Hello, I am Diana Vivas, I am a Kidding Around Yoga certified Instructor and an Official Zümbini Instructor. I have been helping families for more than 15 years organizing routines that included creative movement, math, reading and listening comprehension, when I looked for a Mindful and movement program to incorporate in my activities I noticed there weren’t many for younger children so I decided to get certified in Yoga for Children and Zümbini and teach it myself. I work with children using hands on exploration through social interaction and play, encouraged by music and using nature to help children learn about their environment.
During my College years, I worked for a language company in Colombia (CIL), I was trained by the owner in a conversational teaching method to teach ESL and Spanish to foreigners. It was a great opportunity to learn hands on how to teach others to communicate in other languages, how to teach children both in English and Spanish and how to be a bridge of knowledge in every subject that I was Certified. It was such a wonderful experience that I kept working for them for more than 8 years giving me vast training in handling English and Spanish classes, I now use that experience and the fact that I am a native Spanish speaker to share what I know with children and to help them cope with anxiety and stress through mindfulness and music.
Even though my mayor is in International Business, my passion is working with children and learning along the with them.
