About Me
Good day! I am Canadian and have been teaching for the past twenty years; twelve of these years have been spent as an overseas teacher. I am currently in Costa Rica. I am qualified to teach English, History, and Social Sciences. For the past six years, I have been teaching the IB English program. My students often comment on my ability to make lessons fun and my keen sense of how to break down bigger writing assignments into smaller, more manageable processes.Education

My major for my undergrad degree was History with an English Literature minor. My Bachelor of Education focused on middle and high school teaching.
Experience / Qualifications
Ontario College of Teachers Member since 2001Is your son or daughter getting ready to enter the IB (International Baccalaureate Program), or is he/she already in the IB program? I have been an IB English A (Language and Literature) teacher for the past 6 years. I can assist your son/daughter with preparing for the IB English assessments. I can help them to improve their their analytical skills. As an IB examiner, I have a deep understanding of what examiners are looking for! I will not help them write essays or provide feedback on work they will be handing in for the IBO (due to academic integrity rules, students can only receive this feedback from their teachers, and only can get feedback once on a draft). However, I can help them improve their skills and plan for their internal assessments.

Intensive private latin dance courses (Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Chacha, Zouk antillais, Kuduru-african dance, Brazilian zouk)Private lessons / intensive Latin dance training (Cuban salsa, porto / LA salsa, bachata, merengue, chacha, zouk antillais, African kuduru-dance, Brazilian zouk *)
(* = it's THE dance of the moment that paradoxically has nothing zouk or anything Brazilian - today it's pop music for two, mixing creativity, sensuality, air fluidity that plays a lot with the movements of bust, head and body undulations.)
METHODOLOGY
Learn dance and let talk about your body / emotions, make the difference in the evening ("social dancing") or prepare an event (wedding for example): Focused on pedagogy, technique and pleasure, the dance space offers personalized and individualized courses of Salsa (porto on 1, Cuban), Bachata, Merengue, Kuduru-African dance, Zouk Antillais, Zouk Brazilian (pop music) (...) according to your desires.
Objective: to adapt to your request and your desire. In the eyes of many neophytes, a couple who dance well performs spectacular figures. To dance is to tell / live together a story, to produce beauty in movement and to make the steps, the attitudes and the connections between the various actions aesthetic / harmonious. This fluidity is born of emotion, felt and transmitted.
Simplicity, communication, listening, sharing, emotion, valorization of the other: it is, in addition to technical knowledge (body expression, rhythmic, visual), what you will improve during this training at evolutive levels. In a friendly atmosphere, you will be taken in hand whatever your initial level. Objective: a combination between on the one hand, intuition / feeling / improvisation and on the other hand, technique. It is possible to take the course in couple or solo.
According to your desire, it is possible to propose 70% of a 1st dance, 30% of another complementary dance, the bases of the one influencing the other.
Whether you are preparing a "choreography" for a special event (wedding, birthday, work, etc.), a show or simply looking to improve your skills to impress on the dance floor, the final learning of these courses consists in :
* perform a beautiful interpretation of the music with appropriate movements, in addition to performing a dynamic work that involves a footwork and body movements adapted
* execute an appropriate technique that will allow you to shine quickly on the dance floor, relying on the strong point of private lessons
* Set up style, movement, footwork, and adjusted body coordination, allowing for rapid dance progression, while taking advanced base steps and a variety of movements, allowing you to not only acquire a sensual style but also to improve his own improvisational abilities, focusing on the characteristics of modern dance.
* work on your balance, your musicality, your body strength (...), while having fun, while you train and radically improve the coordination of your body.
In summary, these courses are at the beginner level (basic steps with some general variations), intermediate (faster speed and more concentration on technique, body mechanics, control, footwork, posture, balance and more complex movements) or advanced (for slightly more experienced dancers).
Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions *. (* study 2020)
To respond to requests received, it is indeed possible to offer this course (birthday, party, christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.
TEACHER / TRAINER
In Europe, Latin America or North America, our teacher has specialized and worked for more than 17 years in the field of dance, in renowned international institutions, with for words the individualized pedagogy, and the careful methodology , all anchored in a pleasant and jovial moment.
LOCATION, SCHEDULE
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of live (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: notes that can be re-read on the chat). In this context, the videoconference sessions for which you asked me to seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place very optimally and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours!
