Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First lesson is more of just to get to know each other, i like to do just some simple batting drills and practice. From there I can reconize some things that need to be worked on and we go from there! I also do fielding,catching and pitching drills alongside of hitting drills!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I worked as the head baseball coach for Denver West High School during the summer of 2015, and recently I was a Special ED paraprofessional for Mapleton Public Schools this past school year! I've also been honored to take the opportunity to volunteer for the Sertoma baseball camp for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing every summer!
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Half an hour is $30 and a full hour is $40. I do provide group pricing! Just ask me and tell me how many kids and I can then provide a rate!
How did you get started teaching?
I got into the teaching/coaching when I started as a Head coach for West high School in the summer of 2015 and more into the teaching world when I was a Paraprofessional for Mapleton for the 2017-2018 school year!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with beginners from 9 years old all the way to 22 year olds trying to make the pro's!
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I was given the honor to volunteer at this previous summer's Sertoma Baseball camp for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing! That was the camp that started getting me into baseball when I was 8 years old. Fast forward 13 years later after all my successes, I was where it all started helping kids with deafness and hearing loss get into the amazing sport of baseball and softball!
