Relearning The World
About
I've always loved foreign languages, but loathed the school system. The teachers and administrators always made the things I found fun seem cold, lacking life. Naturally, they were yoked by the system. So my senior year of high school I took matters into my own hands and taught myself Spanish using a combination of old textbooks, apps, and music. Now I am an advanced Spanish student (self taught) closing in on Native status. It's important to me that others expand their knowledge of culture and language and allow their brains to grow which is why I also offer yoga lessons. Even if you don't desire to become fluent or don't choose to use my service I encourage you to dive into the infinitely diverse world of language.
After a series of injuries, I found myself incapable of doing the same workouts I used to. A friend suggested yoga. Once again, I took matters into my own hands and began studying spirituality, religion, philosophy, meditation, and body conscious workouts. I used apps, the internet, and the library to fuel my search. Yoga has brought me a sense of calm joy and I wish to spread it with as many people as possible. Whether you are looking for an aerobic workout, a static one, just a simple stretch, or even an acrobatic workout I can help you reach your goals.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Find out what they know and don't know, can and can't do. Make sure they are self aware and do not underestimate or overestimate their own capabilities. Self knowledge is your greatest asset when starting something new.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Some college. But mostly my own experience. I know what it's like to learn things on your own or off the beaten path. But don't trust these questions, message me. You'll get better answers if we talk.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
That can always be worked out. I truly enjoy Spanish and Yoga so I don't desire to overcharge. Generally, I wouldn't go below $25/hr or over $40/hr. It all depends on what the customer (you, you fantastic person) wants out of their lessons.
How did you get started teaching?
It's the best way to learn. Take on a new skill and spread it and you'll only get better.
What types of students have you worked with?
Children and College students in non-traditional environments. If you can get a child to pay attention for long enough they eat up knowledge. If you can get a college student to act like a child for long enough they learn pretty well too.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
The complete solar eclipse. A once in a lifetime event. Awe-inspiring.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Hire a person you like. You'll push yourself harder for people you care about and who care about you.
