How did you get started teaching?
My first teaching jobs were as a horseback riding instructor, something I've been doing since I was 17 years old. After graduating from university I spent several years abroad where I continued to teach riding lessons, but also loved to incorporate art into my classes wherever I could. When I moved back to the US, I began teaching after school art inrichmebt classes which were greatly helped my my previous experiences as a teacher (even in another field). I still teach art inrichment, and have my own online classes as well.
What types of students have you worked with?
Most of the art I have taught has been to school age children, but I've also been diving into adult classes more recently. I am equally excited to work with populations of all ages and pride myself on my abilities to provide age appropriate instruction at any level.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Why are you seeking out art instruction? How can I, as an instructor help you teach your goals and make this experience enjoyable for you?
