I have 3 years experience teaching children ages 4-16 in a dance instruction setting. While it may seem like dance and English teaching are very different, I find there are more similarities than one may think. New concepts in dance can be challenging, uncomfortable, and feel unnatural to perform, just like new language skills. My strengths as a teacher lie in my ability to personalize instruction to each student to make sure they don't feel overwhelmed or left behind as we progress as a class. An empathic approach with creative teaching techniques makes classes less stressful, and the results are positive when students are comfortable in their learning environment. Nurturing students' skills in a way that grows their confidence in their own abilities is key, as opposed to teaching techniques that leave students struggling, confused, and feeling like they cannot approach me for help.
