My name is Danielle. I live in Wyoming in the USA. I love hiking in the mountains here. I have my bachelors degree in education and I have my 150 hour TEFL certificate. I have been teaching professionally for seven years. For many years before I finished my degree, I taught as a volunteer, teaching students that ranged in skill from beginner to advanced, both young children and adults. I taught a variety of subjects, including ancient history, public speaking, and English. Teaching is my passion! Even my hobbies include teaching. I love riding and training horses. My horse, Sirocco, knows more than 10 different tricks, including doing addition, subtraction, simple multiplication, and answering yes or no questions. My cat, Shinobi, also knows about a dozen tricks. My teaching philosophy is one of supportive exploration: learning is a journey, and I want my students to be excited about their journey. My role is as a guide to help them explore and understand the lesson. Just like every sunset is different, no two people learn exactly the same way. So I adapt to my students preferred learning style and build confidence in their abilities, progressing to reach out and master new and more challenging abilities. I offer classes on trick training for cats and horses.  I love to share my experiences in animal training and behavior, I want to help you to start your journey as a horse/cat whisperer!
