HBR & Co.

My process begins with assessing the level of my new student and then proceeding with lessons that will build on their skills. I truly believes it's important to understand the fundamentals of Art and using those elements to create what one is looking to learn. 

I have a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts with a continued study in Education. I also have extensive experience working with the ESE population. 

Id like my first lesson to be an introductory price then if a connection is made and more lessons want to be had then we come up with a plan and pricing. 

I first began my career as a teaching assistant working with mostly nonverbal autistic children and other kids with special needs. Then I was blessed with transitioning into the role of Art educator within the same community and it really opened my eyes and approach to connecting with my students. It's where discovering the artist within you really came out. I enjoyed highlighting the artistic abilities of my students that was often overlooked and underestimated! 

I have worked with students of all different ages and abilities, and special needs, ranging from K to Adults. 

I would say to make sure that whoever you choose to be your teacher, or guide in this area, that they be kind and patient. That they have the experience you're looking for and yet are open to your ideas and approaches to your learning and applying them in their approach on teaching you.  

Think about what skills they would like to learn or build on? Is it a skill or medium? How far do you want to go with the lessons?  What is their overall expectation of the teacher?
