Values
My teaching is based on these values:
- Compassion: I will create a safe atmosphere for my students. Every student is unique, and I will search for the words and activities that are most meaningful to you. All lessons are strictly confidential.
- Non-judgment: I will never, ever criticize or judge you. In a lesson, there’s no right or wrong way to do something, and there’s no such thing as a mistake.
- Respect: I will listen to you, observe you, and answer your questions as best I can. I will speak respectfully to you and use a gentle touch in doing hands-on work.
- Curiosity: I will encourage you to let go of preconceived notions about how you should do the activities that you do. You may be pleasantly surprised at the results!
- Humor: I believe that lessons should be fun! I will encourage you to approach your lessons with a light heart and a willingness to meet each moment as it comes.
