Kara Hofschild Basketball Lessons And Tutoring
About
I am eager and ready to help students and players alike achieve their goals! I was a division II women's basketball player and love the game. Most of all, I love teaching youth new skills and watching them practice until they have mastered the skill. I also was a Biology major in my undergraduate degree. I love biology and I am fascinated with the body!
I love using the skills I have to help others. I have a Master's degree in occupational therapy because I want to help people do the things that have the most meaning to them in the most functional way possible. During my work with students and players, I love seeing the breakthroughs that occur to gain a new grasp on material or on a skill. I live for increasing ability with a positive attitude and a lot of motivation.
