About

I have a passion for the Arts and for helping children to become open to enjoying every aspect of them. When teaching I love to incorporate different creative and imaginative techniques so to encourage the children to enjoy what they are learning. I also have a passion for physical activity, I practice Iyengar Yoga daily and was in the British Team for gymnastics until the age of 18 when I decided concentrate my attention on the Arts.

Mrs. Ashkenazi worked with my son on both his singing and acting skills. He felt that Mrs. Ashkenazi was very engaging, knew exactly what to do to help him, and knew what to focus on. He definitely respected her abilities and skills and was grateful for her help.
